Cheers!
The holiday season is well and
truly upon us and we at Sweet
Paul want to make your Christmas
party the best on the block. So,
pour yourself a glass of mulled
wine and let the planning begin...
FUN IDEAS TO GET THE
PARTY STARTED
• Why not organize an ornament
exchange around a preset theme
to break the ice?
• Get everyone to put an After
Eight mint on their forehead,
and then see who can get it into
their mouth without using their
hands.
PARTY AND TABLE DECOR
• For a festive touch, use tree
ornaments and jewel-colored
ribbons to tie napkins together.
• Warm up side tables and
entryways with branches
collected from your local park or
woods. Spray paint them white
and hang twinkling lights and
decorations on them for a
unique look.
• Paint fruits, foliage and
pinecones in metallic hues, and
then place along your mantle;
arrange tea lights in the gaps.
• For a quick and quirky
centerpiece, fill a cake dome
with brightly colored baubles.
• Mix fruits, foliage and animal
objects to achieve an
eclectic look.
• Mix and match napkin rings for
a relaxed look.
