Classy Gift Wrapping Ideas

Last weekend, we had the honor of attending our friend's wedding reception (without the wedding). You see, they were married last May, but just hosted their reception. I know it sounds odd, but we actually went on their honeymoon with them and I did a post on it here, in case you missed it. It was a lovely event in their gorgeous backyard.

I was thrilled, they ask me to take pictures and I did, 512 of them! So! I got carried away. I'll show you some of the highlights in the next few days, but today I'd wanted to share the wrapping of their wedding gift along with some other gift wrapping ideas.

I love black, white and silver. It's so classy. I started with a silver box and filled it with black shredded paper. I included wine glasses and a bottle of wine. The bow is made of black, white and silver ribbon with a silver wine stopper nestled in the bow.

My homemade card is made of cardstock. I printed my message, cut out a heart and adorned it with a red rhinestone.

Designing this gift made me think about all the other gifts I've designed using black and white. Hmmm...I really do like black and white gifts! I topped this gift with luggage tags of the initials of the bride and groom and a 1st Christmas ornament with their names. Those grey blobs on the photo above and below are not part of the design. I blotted out the names to protect the innocent. :)

Oh, and inside this silver package is a skillet so I tied a black spatula to go along with the skillet theme in the bow and wrote a message on silver cardstock that reads, "May you always flip over each other."

I helped a friend with her wedding and wrapped these silver boxes for her bridesmaid's gifts. I duplicated her wedding invitation logo on the gift.

And here's a black and white bridal shower card with a touch of pink made from cardstock and stamped with black ink.

The inside of the card is a vellum sheet over hearts with a cutout groom and bride.

Black and white - a classy way to wrap a wedding gift. I'll bet you have some clever wrapping ideas too. I'd love for you to comment and tell us all about them!

I'm sharing with Do it Yourself Day and Met Monday. Stop by and see them!
