There's a fantastic fabric outlet in the Twin Cities where I've found useful, cheap waterproof 60" wide fabrics that work on tables and floors. I've used several yards of that in front of bar areas and on the main food table. I'm really big on fabric for decorating -- if there's a super cheap fabric outlet in Denver, you might find some good stuff there. And if you end up doing anything tropical, or blue-sparkle-glitz, I could loan you my stash.
The Brits made a big impact with their Hugo Losers Party at N4. They obtained a few dozen extra sheets from the hotel and turned the party white. Sofas, chairs, tables, curtains -- everything was sheet-wrapped. White, white, white. That could work for your snow monkey theme.
Soup is marvelous from a sustenance point of view, but you're right about how messy it can be. The transformation from frozen to edible can also be surprisingly time-intensive. I spent most of my time in the Arisia staff den thawing bags of frozen and semi-frozen soup in a convenience microwave. It went in the crock pots after that. Your proof of concept/test-run parties in advance are a *very* good idea!
As you know, kproche and bovil also have outstanding party sensibilities and experience. lsanderson, too.
Okay. That got long. Done for now. :-)
