Invitations:
Cut snowflakes out of white cardstock and add glitter. Print the invitation and paste it on the back. Or print the whole invitation on the computer. There are many snowflake graphics that can be used.

Decorations:
White poinsettias make lovely centerpieces. Add artificial snow or snowflake confetti scattered on navy blue tablecloths for a nice contrast. Even coconut can be used to portray snow. You can also use soft batting to create the effect of snow in your decorating. A sidewalk or pathway can easily be created using the batting. Add some glitter for a sparkling effect. It is pretty to use a white, silver and navy blue theme. Snow globes can also be used to enhance the snowflake theme.

There are some very cute frosted glass snowflake votive candle holders available at http://www.beau-coup.com/frosted-snowflake-tea-light-holders.htm. These can be scattered on the tables with one large pillar candle used in the center. If you have a low enough ceiling, hang either store-bought or homemade snowflakes in various sizes. You can even involve your children to help make them. Paper doilies also make great snowflakes.

Oriental Trading has several different items in the snowflake team. If you do not have the catalog, just go to www.orientaltrading.com and type in “snowflake décor.”

Door Prize:

Food:
Finger sandwiches, fruit cup, and lots of dainties! Petit fours, cookies, and pecan tassies are always loved at a tea. Provide various kinds of hot teas and also flavored iced tea. Pitchers of water with orange and lemon slices are always popular.

Favors:
Snowflake ornaments are easily obtained during the holiday season. Another cute idea is to get either white or silver organza bags and place a wrapped tea bag along with a piece of candy in each bag.

The ideas are endless in the snowflake theme. Have fun, and please share your ideas or pictures with us!
