Moms (and dads) everywhere are currently decking the halls to make this season as bright as they possibly can. They are doing it all while balancing end of year work challenges, end of semester school events, holiday events, and holiday shopping needs. It is SO BUSY! If getting together with your friends to chat and relax during this busy season seems impossible this time of year, try hosting this ladies night event designed to allow everyone to get a needed task done in a fun way, a Holiday Gift Wrapping Party!
Tips for Hosting a Holiday Wrapping Party Ladies Night
- Send out a save the date early! Make sure your friends know in advance that they have this coming so they can get some of their shopping done on time and you high-achieving friends don’t already wrap them all up!
- Provide holiday gift wrapping materials, but also encourage guests to bring their own, especially if they are doing something special for the holidays. If you’re using a theme in the wrapping materials provided (classic Christmas colors, winter whites, or brown paper to wrap up with string) then add that to the invitation.
- Don’t forget to have some fun gift toppers and tags. Download my free printable holiday gift tags to print off on cardstock or label paper to top packages!
- Provide some savory snacks that are easy to grab and eat. Charcuterie boards, vegetable platters, savory pastries, and small appetizers are great for this type of event. Add in some cookies to round it all off!
- Let guests serve themselves drinks by providing a hot cocoa bar. Include some sparkling waters and perhaps wine to round out the menu, but let the hot cocoa be the star!
Give your friends an excuse to get away and still get things done— invite them to a Holiday Gift Wrapping Party!
