It’s that time of year again when every building is wrapped in LED Christmas lights and giant colorful ornaments appear around different cities. Unlike any other season, holidays depend heavily on eye-catching decorations and festive activities. However, have you ever stopped thinking that there isn’t much diversity in the standard decor?
Well, Black Paper Party is here to change that! In a world full of white Santas and elves, Black Paper Party is the go-to place for holiday decor with representation.
“We love all occasions: soirees, get-togethers, date nights, holidays, showers, birthdays, and weddings…our well-curated collection includes gift wrapping paper and ornaments with nods to the African Diaspora for everyone to enjoy. When you see our designs you will know it’s gonna be a party!” states owners Madia Williams, J’aaron “Jae” Merchant, and Jasmine Hudson. The brand also combines award-winning art made by Black artists!
The collection includes cards, gift bags, stickers, ornaments, wrapping paper, and even quilts and comforters! Their unique items are filled with brown faces and kinky hair, two things we usually don’t see in the typical holiday soirees we attend each year. Black Paper Party items can be found in retail stores as well as on their site.
This brand is definitely one to support! Whether it be for your own personal use, or even suggesting this brand for your annual corporate holiday party, don’t forget to check out all Black Paper Party has to offer!
