Now that the first few months of the year are
out of the way, spring weather has begun to roll in, and Easter is just around the
corner, signifying the first major holiday of the year that’s not celebrated
during the winter.
With holidays come get togethers with the
family, and almost every family likes to celebrate and spend time together
around a dinner table eating delicious home-cooked food.
Heck, even get togethers with friends and
coworkers usually end up in dinner parties, too.
As you begin to prepare for hosting such
dinners, though, you’re probably thinking of ways to make it inviting, unique,
and fun. Try picking up a few small boxes to create some candy boxes for your
guests in their seats with their favorite treats. Here are a few ideas on
getting started with the upcoming holidays and events.
Memorial
Day
A lot of folks like to get together with their
family and friends around this weekend in May because the weather is almost
always beautiful, the Indy 500 is huge in America, and it’s one of the first
weekends that most people get off work for 3 days. Barbecues are big around
this time of year, and so are American flags. Decorate your candy boxes with
some miniature flags and even some colorful flowers to celebrate the warm
spring weather.
4th of
July
Again, American flags will come to mind first
here, but other cool designs like fireworks, grills, and even pool-related
images would fit perfectly on your guests’ dinner boxes that you’ve worked hard
to create and specialize for them.
Game
parties
Many people take the opportunity afforded by
time with family and friends to play board games or card games. Use the gift
boxes during your dinner as a way to jumpstart the game night! You can fill
each person’s box with a hand of playing cards or a group of Scrabble tiles or,
if it’s a mystery party, their character for the mystery.
The whole point of these boxes is to
personalize them to your guests’ interests and the theme of the evening,
whether it’s seasonal, a holiday, or a special event. Have fun in what you
create!
