Bomboniere and gift giving

Many cultures include little gifts or bomboniere at celebrations as a special treat to say thank you to guests for sharing in the festivities. The word bomboniere translates to ‘a small fancy box or dish for bonbons’.

European’s trace this tradition back to early Roman times when fruit and nuts were given.

The first bomboniere packages were made of gold, precious stones, crystal or porcelain. Today we have so many more options than that, little bags or boxes in all kinds of shapes for all kinds of occasions.

All About Paper has lots of papers perfect for creating unique little treasure boxes to match your celebration theme. We have a selection of ready made and kits but also the option of our DIY workshop equipped with Cricut and Pazzle cutting tools and a Cuttlebug for finishing touches. Ask out design team for assistance in creating something unique and special for your special guests.

Corporate Celebrations

All About Paper’s specialty Invitations for Celebrations caters for all needs.

When we say All About we really do mean everything including corporate invitations.
Members of our Design Team have been busy PAs themselves and know how it feels when you suddenly get nominated for project planning on a large corporate event and they asked if you can bring it in under budget. This is some of our top tips to add to your check list.

Dates: School holidays, long weekends, public holidays, EFY, other major events, they all fill up the calendar quickly and the best venues are already booked out

Theme: This might be the time when uncomplicated is best. Awards night = gold, Christmas = touch of green, annual gala ball = black tie

Or do your corporate colours or logo need to be considered ?

Guests: How many ?

Invitations: Need to be out no later than 6 weeks in advance. Your guests have busy schedules too.

All About Paper and your personal design team are on call to help you design specialty invitations made to order or if you are watching the budget help you set up in the DIY workshop. Our Design Team members are busy PAs themselves, they know what you mean by corporate casual or corporate lounge or creatively corporate and will have lots of ideas on what will work for your celebration.

Golden Moments

Do you ever think about why we use gold at many celebrations?

Gold has always been associated with royalty, religion, tradition and wealth.

In using gold at celebrations people are wishing good fortune, wisdom, and a bright future. Pretty much any occasion you might want to celebrate could do with those wishes so don’t go past gold as an accent colour in your themes. Gold can come in shades from bright shiny bling tones to muted and vintage and many variations in between.

It is said that people who favour the colour gold have an optimistic out look on life. That sounds like our attitude here at All About Paper. We love paper and helping people to find the right match for their ideas from our large range of printed papers. Phone us at the shop to book a meeting with members of our creative team to design elegant invitations that can be very affordably made.
