Blue and Silver Christmas Party Theme

The traditional colours of green and red are perfect for Christmas in cold northern climes, but what if you’re steaming in 35-degree Aussie heat?  Choose a frosty blue and silver Christmas theme this year to bring down the temperature and keep your guests cool.

Invitations

Get the party started with a special invitation to herald the arrival of the Christmas season.  Smart and simple works best with this theme; try teaming metallic blue card with handmade snowflakes cut from shimmering silver paper for a stylish invitation or seasonal greeting.

Decorating and styling

Stay true to your blue and silver theme for a table, home and tree filled with the best of this Christmas season.  Decorate your tree with festive and frosty delights - blue and silver baubles, snowflakes, snowy birds and tinkling silver bells.  Add a twinkling of clear fairy lights and a dusting of faux snow for that oh so cool effect.

For your Christmas feast, set your tabletop with a white tablecloth and then add accents of blue and silver.  Try folding simple white napkins into ‘pockets’ and tuck blue or clear crystal paperweight into each pocket for a sensational and sparkling memento.  Or decorate your napkins with a band of blue and silver ribbon and secure a silver snowflake to the middle with a hot-glue gun.  Embellish wine or cocktail glasses with the same ribbon-and-snowflake combination.  Add some silver Christmas crackers and the table will be fun and festive.

For a simple yet stunning centrepiece, fill a large glass vase with silver and blue baubles (you can take them from the back of the Christmas tree rather than purchase extra).  Or take some silver spray paint to a bare branch and adorn with blue and silver teardrop pendants for a modern look.

To take your theme a step further, dress your party room with a winter wonderland of hanging decorations, such as Pink Frosting’s swirls and snowflakes. 

Menus, catering and cocktails

Create a cool Christmas menu of seafood delights – see our summer Christmas menu inspirations for mouth-watering ideas.  Serve a signature drink such as a Blue Lagoon cocktail.  Combine 1 ½ shots of vodka with 1 ½ shots of Blue Curaçao.  Top with lemonade and serve with a slice of lime, orange or lemon.  For something bubbly, try adding a blue sugar heart to a glass of champagne for extra fizz and pizzazz!

Favors and thank yous

Spoil your guests on Christmas Day with a take home memento such as a silver snowflake bookmark or snowflake candle to remind them of the love and laughter of this special Christmas.
