THROW A 2010 WINTER OLYMPIC Throw A 2010 Winter Olympic Theme Party To Add Even More Excitement To The Games

(NAPSI)-Remember the thrill of watching your favorite speed skater go for the gold? The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games are right around the corner. Don't miss the action and start planning your Olympic Games theme parties now, whether you want to celebrate the opening ceremony or your favorite event with friends and family. Create a fun, themed Canadian party in honor of the host city. Whipping up some cranberry- infused recipes is a great way: There are more than 60 cranberry farms right in Vancouver's backyard, making the region the heart of Canada's cranberry country. A Cranberry Wassail is an easy, affordable way to spice up your party and warm up your guests. Celebrate the colors of Canada by incorporating red and white into your party decor. Red napkins will pop on a white table- cloth. Set off your table with an awe-inspiring centerpiece made with red and white roses (Vancouver's official flower). Mini Canadian flags can also serve as fun hostess gifts. For more tips and ideas for hosting your next party, visit www.oceanspray.com.
