DECORATING

There is no better time to go all out than for a winter or end of season celebration! Show your guests that you mean business when it comes to throwing a fabulous bash for all of your coworkers during this festive time of year!

We suggest that you create your own winter wonderland using our Christmas party supply store where you'll find a huge selection of snowflakes, snow and evergreens. Here are some ideas on how to achieve a magical setting that is sure to whisk your guests away to an evening of winter magic!

•  Create a spectacular entryway to greet the arrival of your guests with a Balloon Columns with Snowflake Arch. Place some extra Gossamer around the base of the columns for an extra special touch.

• Evergreen Trees covered with iridescent snow provide a wintry backdrop when placed around the room.

• Shimmering Snowflakes can be hung around the room from the ceiling as well as the walls to help create some winter magic. Be sure to hang them at various heights for the most appealing look!

• Snowflake Lights look lovely around pillars or along a railing and add a soft touch of light to the room.

• Highlight the buffet table by hanging a Star Lantern on either side of the table. These lanterns are dressed up with beautiful blue stars that light up when plugged in.

• There's no better way to jazz up a dance floor than by scattering some Sparkling Snow over the entire area! It may be a little messy, but it is definitely worth the effort!

• Greet your guests outside before they even enter the party site with an impressive Corex Lighted Snowflake. It is 4' high and illuminates the sidewalk or patio perfectly!

• If snowmen are appealing to your decorating needs, we have a few snow friends that are absolutely adorable! Our Stand-Ups are perfect for a photo backdrop or for a friendly invite to the buffet line or dance floor!

• You can never go wrong with lightweight Gossamer to help you create an elegant atmosphere for any occasion. Either solid white, our snowflake gossamer, or a combination of the two could be used to drape, swag, or create bows around your party site.

• Balloons are always an inexpensive way to add a big impact to a party site. Try using hundreds of balloons in silver, white, and light blue. A Glitter Snowflake Latex Balloon that can also be used to create arches, pillars, or more. Mylar Star Balloons have an iridescent glow that adds shimmer to a group of balloons.

Perhaps start by covering your tables with Blue Paper Tablecovers and add some beautiful Light Blue Gossamer over it for a magically elegant touch. You could also swag some White Gossamer Streamers around the edges of your tables for added drama. Check our party suppliers for festive options for your holiday tables.

If you are using a buffet table, highlight it by hanging Lighted Icicles Lights under the Gossamer around the perimeter of the table.

Add Snowflake Placecard Holders beside each dish on the buffet line with a label letting your guest know what they are about to indulge in! Use Snowman Spreaders for a fun way to serve cheese or spreads.

Have an ice sculpture made in your company's logo and place it in the center of the buffet table and surround it with candles for an elegant glow.

Create a snowy look down the center of your tables with polyester batting spread in soft piles among your candles. Add some Iridescent Snow on top for a bit of sparkle!

Your guests will feel honored to sit at tables warmed by candlelight when the weather outside is cold and frightful! You can accomplish this by placing some Mini Floating Candles in a bowl filled with water and place it in the center of the table. You could also place a Snow Flake Candle Holder at each place setting, fill it with water, drop in another floating candle, and you have created instant elegance!

For your tableware, choose a festive Party Ensemble from one of our party goods suppliers! Then, top off the setting by bundling each napkin up and sprinkling some Iridescent Snow around each plate.
