This issue of party possibilities features neat ideas to create a snow-themed party (though after last week and maybe today, snow might be a bad four-letter word to many people in the DC region).  Regardless of the occasion - Sunday supper with neighbors in your home or a Chamber of Commerce reception at the office, a snow theme is ideal this time of year.  It's very versatile, kind of a 'one-size' fits all occasions and it's relatively easy, as well as affordable, to recreate a winter wonderland experience even if there is no snow on the ground!

 

The inspiration for this party comes from a Coconut Snowman recipe I clipped out of Martha Stewart Living magazine a long time ago (December 2000).  Made out of ice cream, this sweet treat is absolutely adorable.  There is, also, a cream cheese version, which I modified for a friend's Super Bowl Party on Sunday night (see Event Showcase below).  Some of the party ideas will be familiar but coupled with other ideas from my favorite party planner, David Tutera, and favorite chef, Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa), I've crafted a wonderful winter party experience for you.  Enjoy!

Of course, when your special event requires more time, effort and creativity than you have to spare, please contact me.  Cheers!
