Dress the table with festive red-and-white tableware, coloured glassware and cut-glass candlesticks.
Continue with berry-red and white decorations around the room. Hang big, bold paper stars and snow flakes low over the table, then add silver and crystal details for extra sparkle.

Create place settings
Use candy cane-style spoons as party favours and name card holders.
Gift labels make pretty place-setting name tags.
