Party Theme #1: Haute Cocoa

Add a little flavor to the traditional red-and-green holiday theme by adding a touch of cocoa brown. Deck your table with a cream-color tablecloth and a chocolate-color table runner. We created this table runner by folding a brown tablecloth to approximately 18 inches.

I actually like these ideas. I think they are fun and fresh. Obviously, these would not be appropriate for an elegant affair, but coming from someone in their 20's, I think this is a great, affordable approach. Not everyone my age can or wants to go the sophisticated route.

BHG, you have got to be kidding. With all the lovely, creative ways to decorate, do you really think people would want this stuff.

While not as elegant as some ideas, these would be simple and inexpensive ways to decorate for someone who is stretched for time and or money and who would still like something festive for a celebration. I think the website has something for everyone. This may not be your cup of tea but be nice about it!
