How To Wrap A Large Wedding Present Smoothly And Stress-Free

The secret to a smooth wedding gift wrapping experience is knowing the big present’s dimensions. It’s also easier to put the item inside the box, or you can even give the couple multiple gifts using one box.

And besides knowing the tricks on how to wrap large gifts, please select tasteful wrappers and ribbons. A navy blue box with a white or silver ribbon, for example, looks classy for a wedding present.

Step 1. Preparing the wrapping paper

Make sure your gift wrap is enough to cover your wedding present; understand how big or wide the box is
Unroll the wrapping paper over a table smoothly
Place the top half of the wedding gift box over the wrapper and cut the paper for wrapping this portion of the box
Secure the wrapping paper in place with double-sided tape
For the big box’s open end, fold its flaps inward
Form a crease for a neat finish and tape
Repeat these steps for the gift’s other side

Step 2. Finish gift wrapping

Take the width of the large gift box using twine; since you’re wrapping a large gift, cut another sheet of wrapping paper according to this twine
Use this gift wrap around the center of the huge gift box; the edges that spill on the side can be folded over to cover them
Secure the wedding gift wrap on the sides with double-sided tape
Cut a piece of ribbon according to the twine earlier, wrapping it around the box, so the paper’s edge is hidden
Use another ribbon that’s a bit longer for the other side
Once the ribbon strips meet, tie them into a bow

How Do You Wrap An Oversized Wedding Gift?

It will be easier to wrap oversized wedding gifts if you use gift boxes instead. These are ready to use for gits, and you don’t even need to get stressed wrapping them.

You’ll place the large item inside the gift box and put fillers like shredded paper if needed. Then, finish the wedding gift with a fluffy bow that complements the box color or print.

How do you choose a gift wrapper for a certain gift?

Pick a color, pattern, texture, or material that is practical and visually appealing for your wedding gift style. Some people even switch the paper wrapper with fabric or other types of paper, especially if the gift is soft, hefty, or odd-shaped.

What type of ribbon is used for gifts?

The ribbon you’ll use for your wedding gift should complement the wrapper for the wedding present. Some even switch ribbon with twine or omit the ribbon altogether if it suits the gift better.

Experiment with how you tie the ribbon or how big and fluffy you want it to be. After all, gifts tend to look unfinished if it has no bow.

How Do You Wrap A Big Weird Shaped Wedding Gift?

One of the hardest things with gift wrapping besides having a large gift is if the wedding gift is a huge and oddly-shaped present. And if it’s not too oversized, you’ll have an easier time putting the item in a box and then wrapping it.

Alternatively, you can use the following tutorial for other oddly-shaped wedding gifts:

Take the gift width and add an inch of allowance for your gift wrapper
Overlap the paper, then tape in place

Press the flap sides into a diamond to have access inside the gift wrapper
Fold the bottom and top flaps inward and tape to create the bag
Put your large wedding present inside the gift bag and fold the excess paper on the other end
Put two holes in the center of the bag folds and pass a ribbon through them
Tie the ribbon into a bow, and you’re done
