So you’re likely wondering why I am sharing gift wrapping days when we’re only on December 3rd and that leaves you TONS of time to figure out how you’re going to wrap those gifts. Let’s be honest though, you’re going to likely put it off for the last minute and then wrap them all like 2 days or less before Christmas right? Just me? Ok.

Here are some basic items you can use:

  • Shirts (thinner is sometimes easier to work with)
  • Scissors
  • Newspaper
  • Tape
  • Embellishments from Dollar Tree (Like flowers or bows)

How to Host a Gingerbread House Party

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

So it’s the time of year when you want to create those awesome gingerbread houses but what if you did a Gingerbread House Party and invited all your friends, kids, and more over to share the night together? We do the Annual Gingerbread House Party just about every year and it takes some prep work for sure but it pays off with quality time with friends and family as well as tons of laughs and fun for everyone!

You may be wondering how on earth do you even start with planning a Gingerbread House Party and let me tell you we have it almost down to a science at this point and want to pass on some tips. You can see how our own Gingerbread House Party goes HERE.


Here are some helpful Gingerbread Party Tips:

  • I made 75 bags of royal icing. This was about 10 batches and placed about 1 cup in ziplock bags. Then I tied the corner of each bag so that they were more cone-shaped to help frost better. Royal icing is used as the glue to hold the candy on and make the house stick together.
  • Make the frosting a little thicker than I would have if I was using it right away. Because they are sitting overnight the meringue sometimes separates a little and so thicker makes better glue
  • Made about 80 small gingerbread houses. I used graham crackers (not actual gingerbread) as I did not have time to bake that much! Each house used 6 graham crackers, each box of crackers made about 4 houses. Yes, I had to buy about 20 boxes of graham crackers!
  • Use leftover from Halloween, bought cheap candy at Dollar Tree and bought big bags at Sams Club. I found that buying cheaper items like pretzels and marshmallows helped fill up the table and houses cheaper than candy
