CHRISTMAS

1. Define your party theme & guest list

Start by choosing a Christmas party theme. Bonjour Fête offers curated party supplies and party decoration options like Classic Christmas, Nutcracker, Pink Christmas, Gingerbread, and Elf party themes. Next:

Create a guest list and send invitations (see step 2).

Decide whether the party will be formal or casual: big dinner, buffet, cocktails, family-friendly, all-ages, etc.

Decide your budget: Décor, food, drinks, and favors.

2. Send invitations

Select a digital or printed invitation that matches your theme. Bonjour Fête offers downloadable invites that perfectly coordinate with our party supplies collections for stress-free sending!

3. Set up décor & ambience

Use Christmas Party Decorations from Bonjour Fête to bring the theme to life:

Use garlands and banners, such as the Son of a Nutcracker Banner, to create a festive backdrop.

Cover your tables with matching table runners, such as the Cherry Red Signature Cabana Stripe Table Runner.

Choose table décor items like candles, vases for holiday centrepieces, glass trees, or Christmas Village houses to create a beautiful ambience.

Define areas for guest experiences: the party table, food or dessert table, drink station, gift exchange area, and photo booth.

4. Tableware & serveware

Select matching tableware items to keep a cohesive look:

Plates, Dinner and Dessert: e.g., Elegant  Pink  Peppermint  Bow  Dinner Plates and Christmas Peppermint Candy Small Scalloped Plates.

Cups: e.g., Gold Signature Cups.

Napkins, Dinner and Cocktail: e.g., Signature Bow Large Napkins and Elf Candy Small Red Napkins.

Additional accents: Cutlery, place cards, and confetti.

Ensure you have enough tableware for the number of guests, plus a few extras for unexpected guests.

5. Food & drink planning

Decide whether you’re hosting a sit-down meal, providing a buffet, tray-passed appetizers, or finger-food style for kids.

For a buffet or cocktail party: use snack or dessert plates and cocktail napkins so guests can mingle.

Set up a drink station with festive cups and signage. Consider offering a signature holiday cocktail or mocktail.

Add small decorative touches: Matching straws or drink stirrers elevate the experience.

6. Party Favor

As a gift to your guests, include small favors or treat boxes. For example, Bonjour Fête's Sweet Gingerbread House Cookie Boxes filled with Christmas cookies or candies.

7. Guest experience & activities

Provide a welcome drink, greet guests, and show them where food and drinks are.

If children or mixed ages are attending, include a small craft or game station from our Holiday Games & Crafts Collection.

Music: Create a holiday playlist in advance.

Photo area: Set up a backdrop (balloon garland or banner), props, and encourage guests to take photos.

8. Clean up & follow-up

Use disposable, elegant tableware, like our heavy-duty paper plates and napkins, to reduce cleanup stress.

Store leftover décor and supplies for next year—they can often be reused.

Using curated holiday party supplies from Bonjour Fête makes holiday party planning easier, while keeping the theme, decor, and tableware consistent and stylish!

Begin by selecting a theme for your tree. Popular options include Classic Christmas, Pink Christmas, Gingerbread Christmas, Nutcracker Christmas, and Ralph Lauren Christmas to create a cohesive look.

Start with the lights, placing them from the inside of the tree outwards in a zigzag pattern. Next, add garland, ribbon, or tree picks from our Decorative Tree Sprays and Garlands collection, draping them either vertically or spiraling around the tree.

When hanging ornaments, organize them by size: place larger ornaments deeper in the branches and smaller ones toward the tips. Explore our extensive range of ornament types, including Bauble Ornaments, Food & Drink Ornaments, Animal Ornaments, Humor Ornaments, Transportation Ornaments, Character Ornaments, Sports & Recreation Ornaments, Toy & Game Ornaments, Nature Ornaments, Places Ornaments, Traditional Ornaments, Travel Ornaments, Felt Ornaments, Girlie Ornaments, Religious Ornaments, and Flocked Ornaments.

Finish your tree with selections from our Christmas Tree Toppers, Tree Skirts, and Stockings collection. For a designer touch, coordinate your tree decorations with wrapping paper and trim from our Holiday Gift Wrapping collection.

1. Choose your wrapping materials

Choose a festive wrapping paper or a holiday gift bag from Bonjour Fête’s Holiday Gift Wrapping collection, such as Rifle Paper's nutcracker Christmas wrapping paper rolls, classic plaid paper, or holiday-themed gift bags from Sugar Paper. Pick matching ribbons or velvet ribbon sets, wired sequin ribbon, and mini bows to elevate the look.

2. Prepare the gift

Lay the gift on a flat surface. If it’s a box, make sure the edges are clean and the wrapping will fold neatly.

3. Wrap the box

Roll out enough paper to cover the full height of the box with some overlap. Place the box face-down in the center of the paper. Fold one long side of the paper over the box, then the other long side, and secure with tape.
Fold in the ends: pinch the sides, fold down the top flap, then fold up the bottom flap and tape in place. Smooth out any wrinkles so stays crisp.

4. Use ribbon & bows for finishing touches

Choose a ribbon that complements the wrapping paper from Bonjour Fête’s selection. Wrap the ribbon around the gift, cross it underneath, then bring it back up and tie a neat bow. Add a mini bow or accent for a little extra flair!

Write the recipient's name on a gift tag and attach it to the ribbon or bag handle. For an extra special touch, consider adding a small ornament, a sprig of greenery, or a mini candy cane tied into the bow.

With the best Christmas present options from Bonjour Fête's Christmas Gift Guide, your wrapped gifts will look polished and beautiful. Our festive patterns and high-quality ribbons enhance the presentation, making it feel extra special.
