Table Decor
As for the rest of the decor, if you are thinking glitzy winter wonderland, check out Party Idea Pros
Sparkling Nights theme but change the colors to blue, silver, and white, and modify the centerpieces a bit by substituting white snowflake floating candles for the regular floaters and add lots of frosted glass snowflake tea lights holders on each table. Instead of bear grass use white or silver decorative tree branches and then hang some beaded snowflake ornaments from the branches (don’t worry, they don’t look like Christmas ornaments).

As for party favors, if you choose to give them, any of these favors are great although my personal favorites are the snowglobes and mini holiday brownie pops…

Food
Serve at least one of your appetizers – maybe asian noodles – in snowflake takeout boxes (they come with chocolates so just take apart the party favor and re-use the chocolates in one of the favor boxes or scatter on the tables). Serve another appetizer in snowflake theme baking cups
For dinner serve something hearty like rosemary lamb, chicken stuffed with wild rice and cranberries, or even some kind of beef stew. Another way to go is to keep all the food white. Start with an appetizer portion of white pizza or white bean soup. Then serve your favorite white fish, white rice or potatoes, and white turnips. Finish off your white night with what else but white chocolate anything.

For dessert — don’t forget the s’mores! And maybe even a bowl of Lindt Lindor Milk & White Chocolate Holiday Snowman Truffles placed in a beautiful cut crystal bowl for your guests to take on their way home.

Make the Night Last a Year
Don’t let the night fade away with the morning sun. Plan ahead — have your camera handy with ideas for least 12 shots of your guests in the back of your mind. You might want to take a photo of your friends toasting one another or shots of the guest of honor seated at your beautifully set table or maybe a picture of a group hug. Mix serious shots with goofy ones and large group photos with individual or small group portraits. The next day, when the night is still fresh, log onto Shutterfly.com to create memory calendars for yourself and the guest of honor. Photo Books Collage Calendars A less expensive yet equally fun option is to choose your favorite photo of the evening and use it to create a 5×7 photo card for the guest of honor to use as thank you notes or even to announce the day, time, and location of your next celebration. Shutterfly – Unique personalize photo cards for all occasions.
