Winter Wonderland Party Theme Ideas : Color Scheme and Atmosphere
Primary colors: silver, white, and icy blue
Winter Wonderland is created using three primary colors that are perfectly matched with each other and take excellent photos.
Silver: the metal that gives frost, ice, and snow a shine and glow. The accents in silver include silver balloon arch, silver tablecloths, silver charger plates, and clusters of silver balloon weight.
White: the whiteness of fresh snow. The accents in white include white balloon accents, white table linens, white paper lanterns, and white floral accents.
Icy blue: the blue of winter skies, ice, and the signature color of the Snow Queen. The accents in blue include blue balloon clusters, blue satin ribbon, blue LED lighting, and blue tinted glassware.
Accents: Iridescent, crystal, and snowflake
The accent elements are what make Winter Wonderland come alive:
Iridescent materials: iridescent balloons, iridescent ribbon, and iridescent organza fabric give the effect of sunlight reflecting from fresh snow. They are the best atmospheric investment you can make for a Winter Wonderland party.
Crystal and acrylic accents: crystal vase fillers, acrylic ice cube scatter, and clear acrylic or glass tableware make the atmosphere of icy coldness.
Snowflake elements: paper snowflakes, plastic snowflake confetti, snowflake balloon weights, and snowflake garlands give an effect of the snow falling in the room.
White fairy lights: strands of warm or cool white fairy lights placed in the balloon arch, around walls and ceiling create an effect of magical twilight.
The Best Entertainment for Winter Wonderland Theme Party Ideas
- Character Visits: The Snow Queen and Royal Sister
- For Winter Wonderland party, the most entertaining and thematically appropriate entertainment choice is visiting of the Snow Queen and/or the Royal Sister from Parties for Peanuts.

- The Snow Queen
- The Snow Queen arrives as the true winter royalty – she wears flowing icy dress, has the iconic white-blonde hair, and has the warm heart inside the icy exterior. She leads winter-themed songs and interactive games, tells stories in character, speaks to each child individually, makes the birthday child feel like he/she is invited to the frozen world. She is always there for those children having a bad day.

Booking both the Snow Queen and Royal Sister together is the most popular entertainment choice for Winter Wonderland parties.
