Gnome For The Holidays Christmas Party
There’s no place like Gnome Sweet Gnome with a cup of hot cocoa! With this year finding more of us at home, I wanted to design a set that really focused on creating special moments at home. This set is equally darling to use for a cookie decorating party or just to create a fun evening at home for the kids.
Truth be told, these cup wrappers were my main source of motivation for this theme. I knew I wanted to serve hot chocolate and have the whipped cream act as the hat. All I did to create this pink whipped cream was add a couple of drops of red food coloring to our go-to home made whipped cream recipe.
Pom poms add an easy and adorable detail to the food tents and cupcake toppers alike.
We’ve included the entire Gnome Christmas Village in this set as well - perfect for decoration or play!
I hope you love this set as much as I loved making it.
Happy Holidays!
Printable Gnome Christmas Village
There’s no place like gnome for the holidays, amiright? 2020 has thrown us all a bit of a curveball and as we find ourselves inside more this season I knew I wanted to focus a little more on easy items for play vs. the typical party packages we are known for.
This whimsical gnome village would be equally adorable on a Christmas mantle, as a centerpiece for a cookie decorating party, or simply to be used as a toy. Since you can print up as many as you like, these could also make adorable DIY gifts!
I had so much more fun than I expected designing these. My daughter actually came up with the idea for this building - a hat store for gnomes. Can you even?! How stinking cute did this turn out?
You can easily personalize these a bit by adding small details such as the pom pom addition to the nose or hat shown below.
In total, there are 10 village buildings (each with a unique 4-sided design), 15 gnomes, and 4 cone trees.
Isn’t this just the cutest?! Our little model had a blast playing with this while I snapped photos - I just know yours will as well.
I hope this season finds you well, despite of the craziness this year has brought us.

Christmas in July Party
Planning a Christmas wedding? This fun take on a Christmas in July bridal party is what you need in your life. Imagine sipping Christmas cocktails poolside while Christmas music flows through the air. The mistletoe is hung with tropical flowers and palm trees are draped in holiday lights. Is there a better way to get into the spirit of planning a Christmas wedding while the temps are still balmy? I don't think so.
This party could easily be set for a Baby Shower or Sip and See as having a summer baby can feel like Christmas in July (be sure to include some mocktails for the mommy-to-be!), or just a grown up cocktail party as everyone tries to beat the heat.
Here's what you need to complete the look:
Set the mood for your bash with these tropical holiday invitations or festive Christmas cards
Drape this tassel garland on the dessert table for a festive look
Garnish your holiday drinks with a sprig of rosemary for a winter look
Hang this fun balloon banner above your bar cart
Create a tropical take on the tradition wreath like this one
Make this fun twist on a holiday cheese ball
Flowers in pineapples make the best centerpieces. Choose red for an added punch of color
Make your signature drink the Saint Nickarita
What ideas have you guys used for a Christmas in July bash? We'd love to hear about them in the comments.
Dinosaur Party Inspiration
It’s no secret that I love parties, so when a friend of mine asked for some help coming up with ideas for her son’s dinosaur themed birthday party I jumped at the chance. We started gathering inspiration pictures and it was pretty clear from the start that she wanted to go with a more “earth-y” approach with browns and greens. We started with the invitation design here:
Here's some of the amazing inspiration we gathered:
