Designing our holiday card (and holiday theme!) is one of my favorite parts of the season. I love sharing the details on Girl Meets Party. As soon as stock hits the store floor, I’m at Paper Source scoping out my favorite wrapping papers.

Five Essentials for Holiday Travel
Holiday travel is the best – crowded airports, snow storms cancelling flights, and agitated gate agents are just some of the wonderful things to look forward to. Standing in an hour long TSA line or sitting sandwiched between two strangers on a plane is a great way to introduce yourself to new people and smells. Read More

Our Hand-Made Holiday Gift Guide
Finding gifts for others that don’t break the bank is a constant struggle of mine, as I’m sure it is for many. I love giving meaningful gifts to others, which unfortunately requires money that I do not have. In recent years, crafting has become my secret weapon. Making gifts by hand allows for endless customization and is far cheaper (and more thoughtful) than buying a pre-made gift.

Gold Glam
Your guests will certainly take a shine to your holiday table when you add elegant gold accents. When giving gifts, it’s the thought that counts, and we think there are no better thoughts than “Peace, Joy, Love.” These cellophane bags are perfect for wrapping ornaments or sweet treats for your guests. Before you wrap up your party, share a toast or two with family and friends. Getting into the holiday spirit is even easier when your holiday spirits are in a gold confetti tumbler!

I had to test it out for this beautiful cookie decorating party that I decorated with these Paper Source goodies! Keep reading for all the decorating steps and festive decor.
