It’s a daunting task to be in charge of decorating tables for a red and whiteChristmas banquet for 300 people.
Especially when the budget is low, all the tablecloths are grey and my expectations high…
Yes, they all would have been happy with a bowl of greenery in the middle of the table, but no, I just couldn’t help my over-achieving self.

Using these christmas party ideas as inspiration, I started with the theme from my Red Christmas Snowflake Printable Suite and designed a red and white Christmas snowflake wonderland.

I started by making huge, 2 foot snowflakes out of red felt for the centerpiece to be displayed on. Next, I found foam snowflakes at the dollar store in 2 sizes.
SCORE! At 2 and 4 per pack they were a great bargain.
It took a little bit of ingenious cutting and hot gluing to get them to stand up, but one of each size on each table made for a striking contrast to the red felt snowflake.
Then, I burrowed a votive set in sugar (to mimic snow) in the snowflakes and sprinkled clear and gray decorative gems to add some sparkle.
I bought a couple of snowflake punchers and scattered red and white paper snowflakes enhance the effect.
The napkins were folded in a triangle shape to nest the fork, knife, and a candy cane. You may find the instructions on this napkin fold in the video HERE. Instructions start at 2:25.
The guy on the video is a hoot!
The red snowflake paper plates from Oriental Trading really completed the look.

LOVE THIS! Exactly what I needed for a church/ward Christmas party I’m planning with Snowflakes being the idea I was going for. I wonder if you could give me the instructions for the 2 ft red felt snowflakes. I would really appreciate it!
