Winter Wonderland Party

A Winter Themed Holiday Party

No one ever tires of the beauty and sparkle of winter. Whether you’re planning a gathering for family and friends a Christmas Winter Wonderland offers all the joys of the season.

Winter Wonderland Party Invitations

There are as many invitation possibilities to a Winter Wonderland party as there are snowflakes! Everyone will love receiving a blue and white snowflake theme invitation from Creations For You.  You can add a little winter sparkle to the invitation by throwing in a pinch of iridescent snow into the envelope.

Like to design your own invitations? Cut out snowflakes (ask a young friend if you forgot how to do it), decorate with silver and gold glitter pens and write the party details on the back. This is one invitation that will still be hanging up long after the party’s over.

Another creative way to make a handmade invitation is to take a picture of your family doing something in the snow (making snowmen, creating snow angels, catching snowflakes on your tongue) and attach a copy of the picture to a piece of heavy cardstock. Write a message underneath your picture "Come join the Smith Family in this Winter Wonderland", and you can write out the party details on the back.

Winter Wonderland Party Decorations and Party Supplies

There are so many great choices for decorations and party supplies for Winter Wonderland that the hard part is picking the right ones for your event. If your party is at home, decorate outside with little white twinkling lights. Line your walkway or driveway with white snowflake luminaries. Snow or not, your house will glitter and glow. A snowflake banner hanging outside you home will let everyone know where the party is! Have your message say something like "Happy Holidays from the Smith Family", and you can leave it up all season.

Once inside the party, there are endless decorating possibilities. Bunches of snowflake balloons on either side of the doorway will add extra sparkle.  Near the front of the party, place a life-sized cutout of the host as a snowman. "Frosty" will be the hit of the party! Create a wonderful winter backdrop with scene setters. Choose from a snowy village border, snow flurry scene or winter wonderland.  Add a snowflake ceiling decoration to your hallway and over the buffet. Pine, peppermint or spice scented candles will make the room smell as well as look like winter.

No Winter Wonderland is complete without lights - blinking, twinkling, dazzling lights. Hang strands of white twinkling lights on the walls, staircase railing or twisted together on the fireplace mantle. Snowflake gossamer is another great way to decorate the room. Draping it on the walls with white lights behind it will create a dramatic effect.

Get the kids involved: Create decorative snowballs that won't melt inside. Purchase Styrofoam balls and white glitter from the craft store. Brush the Styrofoam with a liberal amount of clear or white glue, and roll the ball in the glitter. Let it dry overnight. Pile the snowballs in glass bowls or plastic pails for a fun and inexpensive decoration!

Winter Wonderland Party Centerpieces and Paper Products

Make sure that as your guests prepare to eat, that your tables look as inviting as your food. Whether you choose to serve delicious appetizers and scrumptious desserts or a full meal of comfort food, your centerpieces and paper products should match the Winter Wonderland theme. White and blue Let It Snow paper goods are the perfect fit.

For your table decoration use snowflake burst and gleam centerpiece and glitter snowflake balloons to make wonderful centerpieces that will truly delight all ages. Sprinkle snowflake confetti on the table for a little extra decoration. Catering to a younger crowd? Think about scattering winter Funtoos (temporary tattoos in winter designs) on the tables as well. The kids will have a great time decorating themselves

You can make silverware bundles (great if you are having a buffet) by wrapping silverware in napkins and then tying them off with blue or white ribbon. Speaking of buffets, if you are having one make sure to decorate that as well. A balloon bouquet or two will do the trick!

Winter Wonderland Party Favors

There is so much shopping for the holidays that your guests will be thrilled to leave your party with their own presents. Custom designed gifts are perfect for saying "Thank you for coming". Creations For You can print your special holiday message on a winter wonderland candy wrapper decorated with snowflakes.  Whether it’s milk chocolate or dark chocolate, this candy bar is a delicious party favor.

Why not serve your liquid refreshments with a holiday greeting too? Party411.com will put your holiday message on a water, beer, wine or even champagne label. Serve these beverages at your party, but make sure there are extras to take home.

Personalized mint tins are another unique party favor. We have lots of Christmas and winter styles, and you can personalize it with your own wording and candy choice! With Party411.com, your Winter Wonderland party will be a memorable event for you and your guests. Happy Holidays!
