Gift Wrap

Remember how excited you got as a kid on Christmas morning? How on earth did beautiful wrapping go out of style?! You can give a simple, small gift, but if it comes in a beautiful package, anyone would feel lucky to recieve it!

The key to a great looking gift is the patterns and textures you use in the materials. A flat finish on the wrapping paper gives a more formal feel and is easier to fold and handle. A metallic finish will give a fun, whimsical look. It is very important to choose the right ribbon to go with your wrapping paper. Ribbon makes the different between a smile and a gasp when you show up at the door. For an elegant affair such as a wedding or formal shower, silk ribbon will create an expensive looking gift without costing a ton. Satin is a great option for all occasions, formal or casual. A non-wired ribbon is easiest to tie, and will lay nicely without a lot of fuss.- just tie into a regular bow and let it drape down the sides. Wah la! Happy 5th birthday again :)
