The holiday season is under way and with it comes the wave of holiday parties! Are you looking for a fun and whimsical party idea for you and your friends? Check out this Christmas Gift Wrapping Party. Wrapping gifts doesn’t have to be a chore. Make it a party and invite your friends! Wrapping presents is always more fun after enjoying dinner and cocktails. Everyone leaves with their presents all wrapped and one less thing to do during the busy holiday season.
Set a Whimsical Dinning Tablescape When Oriental Trading asked me to style these super cute Reindeer Toast Dessert Plates in my Gift Wrapping Party, it became the inspiration for the color palette and theme of the party. Mixing whimsical with modern is a fun way to decorate for an adult holiday party. The plates provide a bit of whimsy layered on top of Red Scalloped Edge Dinner Plates and red striped dessert plates. To finish the place setting, lay a Premium Silver Metallic Fork on top of a DIY Mini Stocking filled with a Peppermint Candy Cane. 
Stocking Christmas Tree Centerpiece To add drama to the tablescape, I created a stocking Christmas tree centerpiece made from a bright white potted tree decorated with DIY Monogrammed Stocking Ornaments, Candy Cane Christmas Words Ornaments and ceramic Christmas Stocking Ornaments. 
Reindeer Ornament Trays Add additional decoration to the table with these modern reindeer centerpieces that are super easy to make. Simply place a ceramic reindeer decoration in the center of a Long White Platter, then fill it with red ornaments of various sizes. 
Santa Hat Chair Backers Drape a Striped Knit Santa Hat over the back of each chair as a cute chair backer. Guests can also wear them during the party to get into the holiday spirit. This Extra Long Christmas Stocking Cap would be perfect for the hostess to wear. 
Serve a Signature Cocktail Holiday parties are a great time to serve a signature drink to match your party's theme. For this, I created a Blitzen Blizzard Cocktail. Be sure to have Reindeer Get Lit Beverage Napkins and Reindeer Blitzened Beverage Napkins on hand. 
Gather Around the Gift Wrapping Table Stock a table and bar cart with Christmas bags and boxes to make it easy for guests to wrap their presents. Be sure to have gift wrapping paper, tape, scissors and bows on hand too. 
Stocking Stuffer Bar End the party with a trip to the Stocking Stuffer Bar filled with ornaments, gifts and sweet treats. Invite your guests to fill a Red Plush Christmas Stocking with holiday favors like Merry & Bright Christmas Mugs, Christmas Stocking Ornaments, Christmas Present Ornaments, Enamel Christmas Present Charms, Candy Cane Christmas Words Ornaments, DIY Ceramic Gingerbread Christmas Ornaments and wrapped candy like these Red Swirl Pops, Santa's Beard Suckers and Christmas Gift Frosted Swirl Pops. Send guests home with a cupcake packaged in these Red Polka Dot Cupcake Boxes. 
DIY Santa Hat Wreath How cute is this DIY Santa Hat Wreath Centerpiece? See how to make it HERE. 
Send Guests Home with a Gift to Give The holidays wouldn't be complete without that last-minute gift you inevitably forgot about. I know I'm not the only one. As a special party favor, place a Christmas Beaded Charm Bracelet Craft Kit inside a Santa Hat Folding Treat Bag for each guest to take home and give as a gift.
