I am thrilled to partner with Minted to bring you a festive holiday gift wrapping party!
Now that you've finished all your holiday shopping, you've got a mountain of gifts that need to be wrapped. Let's tackle that job in the best way possible! Invite your best friends over to check off one of the many things on your holiday to-do list; gift wrapping.
I am all about the presentation of a gift. Don't you love when the recipient tells you the gift you gave is too pretty to unwrap? Yeah, me too. With Minted's stunning and unique wrapping paper, it's easy to create a gorgeous present that will be too pretty to open!
Every gathering needs delicious treats for guests to nibble on and these gorgeous gingerbread cookies from Baby Gabey Cookies were the perfect fit. I placed them on a darling small modern cake plate and the guests adored their festive goodies!
Crank up that Christmas playlist and let's get this party started! May I suggest the perfect song to get the ball rollin'?
"Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses.
Such a classic!
For our gift wrapping soiree, I created different stations that held supplies for the guests.
The first station housed beautiful colors and patterns of Minted wrapping paper sheets. Guests were able to choose their favorite wrapping for their gifts. How beautiful are these papers?! Not only are they perfect for the holidays, they can be used all year round!
After the guests chose which paper they wanted to wrap their gifts in, they moved on to the next station.
Cutting, wrapping and taping the gifts were at the next station as well as pretty ribbon to adorn the packages. I chose ribbon and trim that coordinated and complemented the gift wrap. You can never have too much ribbon or sparkles!
The guests wrapped up their packages and adorned them with ribbon. They were now ready to move to the next station.
The next station was filled with embellishments to dress up the packages.
I'm always looking for fun and unique ways to embellish my gifts and this is such a fun idea. Apply a vintage stamp or two to your packages like this festive Currier and Ives postage stamp. Sincerely Evelyn has the cutest vintage Christmas postage stamps that could not have been more perfect for the wrapped gifts.
Another unique idea to embellish a package (and one of my favorite ways!) is to tuck vintage Christmas photos underneath the ribbon. I love finding old photos of my extended family enjoying the holidays and I'm so happy those moments were captured. Make copies of the vintage photos and attach them to the gift. If you can't find any old family photos, try scouring an antique store for fun vintage Christmas photos.
Tie up those pretty packages with sparkling silver ribbon, light pink shimmer and striped cotton ribbon. You can't go wrong with any of these beautiful ways to embellish your gift!
We had so much fun at our gift wrapping party and now we're all finished with our Christmas wrapping! A huge thanks to Minted for supplying all the beautiful wrapping paper, ribbon and holiday decor for the party.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
