Gnome for the Holidays Party Idea is the hottest trend this year! You can find gnomes just about everywhere and they are super easy to make!
This is Bri Adams from Parties With A Cause. I’m a sucker for gnome puns and so happy to be your host for today’s Christmas Wonderful inspiration.
Today I’ll walk you through how to host a “Gnome for the Holidays” party for your friends and family this year. I promise it’ll be one they remember for years to come!
How to Get the Gnome Party Look
If you’re staying Gnome for the Holidays, first shop your house and gather any and all woodland themed items you might already have. These make the perfect backdrop for any gnome themed soiree. We had a large ceramic gnome holding a lantern for our front porch that I brought inside. I found him in the gardening aisle of my local Smith’s grocery store.

- Red and white striped cupcake liner

Gnome Mushroom Plates
Next, You’ll want to gather up some darling toadstool paper plates. Sadly these have been discontinued but Meri Meri has an updated pink version that I think might even be cuter!
Paper plates add so much color, pattern, and texture to your party design. If you need something more sturdy to actually eat from, simply layer your paper goods over the top and save these pretties for dessert.
Some additional details that’ll make your party pop include:
Confetti: This gnome confetti with the cutest little cut gnomes and mushrooms! If red and green aren’t your party colors you can ask Brenda at Festive Fetti to find a color mix just right for you!
Decorated Glasses: Serve up your drinks in glass milk bottles adorned with wired pine garland ties, ribbon, and mini mushrooms for an extra touch of gnome magic!

Keep your “gnome” clean over the holidays with these 11×17 woodland gnome holiday placemats! They’ll protect your table AND keep the kids busy. So cute and festive and are available to all my new Design Dazzle friends as a free download from the Parties With A Cause Resource Library.
