Gingerbread Delights -- A Festive Winter Party Theme

PartyIdeaPros by PartyIdeaPros

Gingerbread Theme Party Planning, Ideas, and Supplies

Looking for a festive theme for a winter party that is sure not to offend anyone?  PartyIdeaPros.com has created two theme packages celebrating winter yet void of any religious undertones: Winter Wonderland and Gingerbread Delights.

Winter Wonderland works great when the host is trying to achieve a festive yet elegant celebration. Gingerbread Delights is designed as a more playful and colorful package with cross generational appeal. 

Both themes work well for most holiday and winter parties, including high school winter formals, greek events, sweet sixteen parties, quinceanera celebrations, school and company holiday parties, family reunions and winter weddings.

Sorry -- I am having difficulty linking directly to these balloons, so just search "gingerbread" on Giant Party Store

Add lots and lots of coordinating latex balloons to create a festive flare for relatively little cost.

Make the Night Last a Year!

ShutterflyDon'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 whole crew 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 Thanksgiving Day is still fresh, log onto Shutterfly.com to create memory calendars for yourself and for your guests.

Photo Books
Collage Calendars

A less expensive yet equally fun option is to choose your favorite photo of the day and use it to create a 5x7 photo card for announcing same time, same place next year.

    I am having difficulty deciding which theme I prefer -- Winter Wonderland or Gingerbread Delights. Maybe I will just have to have two holiday parties this year. Thanks for the great ideas!
