There are many options when it comes to creating winter party themes; but which one will be right for your party?
It’s the time of year for get-togethers with friends, family, and/or co-workers. In fact, it often feels like calendars and agendas are just too small to handle all that December has going on. This year is different, though, isn’t it? This year – instead of going to all the parties and events, you have decided to have one!
Here’s the thing – and this is important so make sure you are listening (err reading) carefully: choose winter party themes that are going to make your event a joy to attend. After all, there can only be so many ugly sweater parties. It is time to change it up and have some fun – and here are 7 winter party themes to help you do just that.
1. A White Winter Wonderland
It may seem typical for this time of year, but a white winter wonderland doesn’t happen everywhere. Besides, there is just something cozy about the wintry bliss that makes everyone a bit warm and fuzzy inside. Wouldn’t you agree?
Turn your tented event into an all-white winter wonderland. While everything around you, from walls, floors, ceiling, tablecloths, and more will be white, you can jazz up the space with color lighting using blue hues or – for the most effect – black-lighting. Add some icicles, snow, and more for the full effect.
2. The Snow Globe and Snowflake Ball
Staring inside a snow globe can make you want to just jump inside. They look so beautiful and peaceful, with the snow falling all around. So, what if you could re-design the snow globe idea and turn it into your winter party theme?
You can!
Use outdoor winter elements and bring them under your tent. From park benches and lamp posts to leave-less trees and a ground covered in snow – turn your space into this outdoor magical wonderland. So, how do you top it off and make it a snow globe?
- By using lights that are dancing around showing snowflakes (or any wintry character of your choice).
- Or, by opting for snow machines, unleashing the frigid (though, not really) stuff on your guests at random—as if the snow globe was just shaken.
3. Black and White (or Black and Ivory)
Looking to create a magical winter ball? You can do just that with a black and white party. Most often, these get their name due to the formal requirement of a black and white tux.
Allow your event attendees the chance to get out of the house and dress up. Note that the requirement is to dress in all black and/or white – and to keep it formal. As for your décor, it’s going to be classy. And, it should all follow the same color scheme of black and white. This event is for those seeking nothing short of pure elegance.
4. Fire and Ice
This theme seems to be so hot that it is so cool. It takes two polar opposites and combines them into one frigid and steamy event. And it can all take place under your tent.
You will combine elements of both in your decorating. This means hues of blues and white and also hues of reds and oranges.
- Fire and ice.
- Flames and snowflakes.
- Angelic and devilish.
We all have a little bit of both of these sides within us – and it is what makes us beautiful. Therefore, it only makes sense that these fire and ice events would be beautiful and enticing, too.
5. Snow Day
Did you ever have a snow day as a kid? If so, then you know that those were the best days – nothing to do but have pure winter fun, right? Well, bring that fun back to life in a snow day winter party theme.
The décor will consist of snow, of course, and sleds – you simply cannot forget the sleds. Snowmen, snowsuits, mittens, and so on.
This is the perfect party theme that includes kids. Having stations around the event that include things you would do on a snow day, such as arts and crafts (like making and hanging snowflakes) and more can top off the event theme.
The best part? The hot cocoa. Add a hot cocoa bar at your snow day event. Include all sorts of cocoa to choose from and all the fixings, such as marshmallows, peppermint bits, chocolate sticks, and more.
6. Retro Holiday
The holidays always bring about feelings of nostalgia. And, even on the coldest days, you can have a party that will make you feel warm and cozy. Bring back these feelings for your event-goers with the help of a retro holiday-themed party.
Choose a year you want to take it back to, whether it be the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, etc. Then, you can decorate with all the things from that year. Help your guests remember what the holidays were like when they were younger.
Create the décor to include everything from your chosen decade – from the outdoors to the indoors, including the food, clothing, and specialty items.
7. A Winter Picnic
Who says you can’t have a picnic in the wintertime? You can – just indoors. Under the blanket of your tent above, transform the pace into a park-like atmosphere with benches and street lamps.
Then, spread out the wool blankets with baskets of all sorts of cheese and fruits – don’t forget the wine. Let your guests sit back, get cozy, throw a frisbee, and just be. This theme is a surefire way to break the monotony of wintertime.
Conclusion
Hosting a tented event gives you so many opportunities to choose the best winter party themes for your attendees. Why? Because a tent comes with a blank canvas that is waiting for you to get creative. That means you design the space any way you want to.
With a tent, you can even choose your accessories like size, type, sidewalls, flooring, lighting, and more. In fact, it is like taking your theme to the next level because your tent can be totally customized to meet your imagination.
So, what type of winter party theme will you be throwing this winter for your next tented event?
