Party decorating is stressful and expensive, right?
You want a gorgeous, coordinated look, but buying loads of specialized decor blows your budget.
What if your secret weapon is already in your shopping cart?
That birthday wrapping paper from Wrappd? Don’t just wrap gifts with it. Transform it into your entire party theme.
I’ll show you 5 genius ways to do it. You’ll create a stunning party for less and never look at birthday wrapping paper the same way again.
Let’s get it done.
1. Statement Wall Backdrop
That blank wall looks a little boring, doesn’t it? Let’s turn it into your party’s main attraction.
Grab your favorite roll of Wrappd paper. This will be a massive, photogenic backdrop that ties your whole theme together.
First, measure your wall or a large foam board. Then, unroll your paper and cut it into large panels.
Now for the fun part. Attach the panels side-by-side using double-stick tape or poster putty. Overlap the edges slightly for a cool, intentional patchwork look. Or line them up perfectly for a seamless, professional finish.
This one project creates an instant focal point.
For a truly bold look, consider using our confetti wrap designs. The big, colorful dots create such a happy, energetic vibe.
2. Themed Food Station Labels
Got leftover paper scraps? Perfect. Don’t throw them away.
Let’s use them to make charming food labels. This stops guests from asking, “What’s in this drink?” and turns your snack table into a designed experience.
Here’s how it works.
Fold a small strip of cardstock in half to make a tent. Then, cut a fun shape from your Wrappd paper scraps—a circle, a star, or even a simple square.
Just glue that shaped paper right onto the front of the tent card.
Now write “Cupcakes” or “Lemonade” on it. See how easy that was?
For the quickest labels, use our sweet treats design options. The cute icons, like little cupcakes and ice cream cones, work as ready-made labels. They are adorable and instantly understandable.
3. Themed Party Hats
Why settle for boring, store-bought party hats? You can easily make your own that perfectly match your decor.
It’s simpler than you think.
Start with a simple cone made from cardstock. This gives your hat a solid shape. Then, take your Wrappd birthday wrapping paper and wrap it around the cone, just like you’re covering a gift.
Trim any excess paper and secure it with a bit of glue or double-sided tape.
I always use our vibrant party animals or confetti celebration designs for this. The bold patterns make the hats so fun and instantly become the talk of the party.
4. Custom Party Banner
Store-bought banners never have the right name or style, do they? Let’s make your own.
A personalized banner makes the guest of honor feel special and ties your whole theme together.
Start by cutting flags from your Wrappd paper. Triangles or pretty swallowtail shapes both work great.
Then, punch two holes in the top of each flag. This keeps them from spinning on the string.
Now, just thread ribbon or twine through the holes to connect them all.
Our banner design options are a great help. The high-contrast patterns make your message pop from across the room.
5. Centerpiece Boxes
Are your table decorations looking a little flat? Height adds instant drama.
Grab a few small, empty boxes from your pantry. We’re going to turn them into stylish stands.
Just wrap each box like a tiny gift using your Wrappd paper. Then, stack them in groups of two or three.
Now place a vase of flowers, a balloon weight, or even a cupcake on top.
This creates professional-looking levels for pennies. I find our balloon prints perfect for this. The colorful pattern adds a playful touch that pulls the whole theme together.
