Planning an Outdoor Winter Party

When you live in Colorado, you don’t hide from the cold, you bundle up and take on the winter season with enthusiasm and pride. That includes throwing outdoor winter parties, taking advantage of a gorgeous backdrop of the snow-covered landscape.

Keep your decor earthy and natural for your winter party.

Winter Themed Outdoor Parties

From kids birthday parties to anniversaries, or a fun BBQ in the snow just because you can, winter is just as fun for celebration and gatherings as any other season.

When the snow falls in Colorado, it opens up the opportunity for plenty of party fun and games.

And, they’re completely free. From snowball fights, snow angels, and snowman building contests, the entertainment practically designs itself. Now all you have to do is provide a little shelter and sustenance to warm up your guests once the games have played out.

Hot and Spicy Eats and Treats

No winter party is complete without hot chocolate and a tasty bowl of soup. Soup is classic winter food, but adding some spice will give it an extra kick to keep your blood flowing. And, a spicy soup can still be hearty and filling, without being creamy and heavy. It will leave you with enough energy to take on another snowball fight or two.

Everyone loves chocolate. Set up a hot chocolate station complete with whipped cream and marshmallows.

For the adults, spike up your hot chocolate with a little Kahlua or some peppermint Schnapps!

You’ll need hot drinks when you come back from playing in the snow!

Tents and Heaters

As much fun as it is to wrap yourself up in winter coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, it’s nice to have a little shelter from the cold. A nice big canvas tent to match the pure white snow, complete with a few heaters, and maybe a blanket for your guests is a nice break from the crisp winter air.

Think about having wooden benches, chairs, and picnic tables to compliment the surrounding winter landscape.

Keep the decor rustic and natural, sticking to your winter wonderland nature theme.
