You must have enjoyed our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellenza.com\/wedding-ideas\/diy-projects\/wine-cheese-tasting-winter-engagement-party-series-idea-1.html\">Idea #1<\/a> in this Winter Engagement Parties series, so you\u2019re back to join us. But if you haven\u2019t seen our first post yet, we\u2019d love for you to take a look (just click on the link above)!<\/p>\n<p>Each engagement dinner style we\u2019re suggesting is quite unique, but all are suited to the winter season in their own way. This set all a-sparkle with glittery snowflakes and crystals is just one of them! So do come back for Ideas #3 and #4, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Think Winter Wonderland Sit-Down Dinner!<\/h2>\n<p>Capture the enchantment of sparkling snowflakes for a more formal engagement celebration. This could still be an intimate, at-home event but with a definite glam factor\u2014thanks to all the glitter!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bellenza.com\/wedding-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/winterengagementsparkle.jpg\" alt=\"Winter sparkle - a snowflakes themed engagement party with a Winter Wonderland styling by Bellenza\" height=\"490\" width=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Decorating tips<\/strong>: Think \u201cwinter wonderland\u201d for your table setting! Then, use that vision as your guide to bring together towering silver wire centerpieces (or bare branches spray-painted silver) encrusted with sparkling crystal beads, petite flower arrangements all in white, glass and metallic bowls filled with glass ice cubes and faux snow, and graceful taper candles in sleek modern holders.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare place settings of crisp white dinnerware, silver cutlery, and snowflake-shaped menu cards. And to complete the magical look, rent ghost chairs and decorate them with snowflake decals! See our easy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellenza.com\/wedding-ideas\/diy-projects\/how-to-simple-ways-to-decorate-ghost-chairs-for-weddings.html\">DIY on decorating ghost chairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food and drinks<\/strong>: In keeping with the ambiance, we suggest a menu of an appetizer plate of cheese, nuts, crackers, and dried fruit; a clear or creamy soup; a light salad with crusty dinner rolls; an herbed fish or turkey entree; a choice of white wines; and all-white desserts such as baked Alaska, cream-filled crepes, and Russian tea cookies served with coffee or tea\u2014in silver pots, of course!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun activities<\/strong>: A sit-down dinner doesn\u2019t have to be stiff and boring. Plan something to break the ice (no pun intended!). For instance, have guests list down as many snow-related songs, movies, or places as they can think of. The one with the longest list per category wins! Prizes could be extra servings of dessert!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favors to give<\/strong>: Edibles are always appreciated, like crystal candy dishes holding clear candy mints or beautiful silver-wrapped boxes filled with more of those Russian tea cookies. Or for something more lasting, maybe a set of crystal snowflake ornaments for each guest to hang on their own Christmas tree&#8230;and remember you each year!<\/p>\n<p>So, will it be a winter wonderland motif for your engagement dinner? Or maybe you\u2019d like to see what our next 2 party sets have in store for you. Great! We\u2019ll be back soon!<\/p>\n<p>Remember: stay tuned for a closeup look at the place settings and decorations from this <strong>winter engagement styled shoot<\/strong> coming up next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again!
