creating an Elf tablescape
Bring the whimsy and cheer of Elf to your holiday table with a playful and festive tablescape that Buddy himself would approve of! Start with a crisp, white linen tablecloth as your base, creating a clean canvas for your decorative elements. Set the stage for your tablescape with a pink, red, and white striped table runner. This candy cane-inspired design serves as the perfect base, adding a pop of color and festive flair.
Buddy inspired Place Settings
Add a touch of character to your table with Buddy the Elf-themed plates. Pair them with gold chargers and white and gold cutlery. For a sweet touch, add a peppermint candy-patterned napkins to each place setting.
Candy Inspired Centerpiece
Bring height and dimension to your tablescape with peppermint candy trees and a candy-inspired centerpiece. Use a white and red striped gift box as the base, filling it with oversized candy ornaments and red and white peppermint candy picks. To tie everything together, scatter peppermint candies and candy canes around the table.
Elf party decor
Extend the Elf magic beyond the table with party and tree decorations that embrace Buddy’s love of all things festive. Decorate your tree with oversized snowflakes, fluffy snowballs, and a classic white paper chain. Around the party space, hang white paper snowflakes from the ceiling to create a winter wonderland effect. Scatter faux snowballs for added whimsy to complete the magical, North Pole-inspired atmosphere.
