Cozy Winter Dinner Party

Invite your closest friends or neighbors for a cozy dinner party this winter. Keep the decor simple with evergreen accents and a pretty pattern, like damask. Serve winter treats, like a warm bacon, hazelnut and bread salad and white hot chocolate for dessert.

Choose an invitation with a pretty pattern, like this style from Boatman Geller (available at FineStationery.com).

White Hot Chocolate or mulled wine are perfect for sipping on. Check out Paula Deen's recipe for White Hot Chocolate {here}.

A warm bread salad makes a great starter for your meal. For the main course, consider a beef stew or pot roast.

Use evergreen accents and candles to make your home cozy.

Set each place setting with a small wreath and pretty ribbon.
