What you write on Christmas ornaments should be a reflection of how you write and what the ornaments are for such as hanging on your tree, a gift to a friend, and shared at work to name a few. However, there are a few things that people often include on their ornaments such as:

  3. Inspirational messages such as “Blessed and Grateful” and “Hope, Love, and Joy”

If you want a great-looking Christmas tree then follow our top tips for arranging your ornaments:

  1. Add Christmas lights & ribbon to your tree first, draping them around your tree
  2. Hanging your ornaments in the following order to reduce the chance of your Christmas tree tipping order:
    1. Hang your large ornaments first
    2. Hang smaller ornaments in between your large ornaments
    3. Add the ornament that goes on top of a tree, which is called a tree topper last
  3. Look at the whole tree and improve where necessary

Make sure to follow our advice if you want to make sure your ornaments are protected in storage so you don’t have to worry about replacing them the following holiday season.

  • Group similar ornaments - ornaments that have similar size and theme should be put away together in the same box or container
  • Don’t skimp on containers - use ornament-specific packaging boxes and materials to minimize or prevent damage. You can buy boxes or even DIY your own
  • Wrap ornaments - you can use tissue or bubble wrap to wrap your ornaments to provide additional protection to your ornaments during storage
  • Proper storage - don’t store in extreme climates such as hot or cold temperatures and avoid moisture. Instead, put your ornaments in an area that is not only dry, but relatively cool such as a well ventilated basement or closet
  • Stacking your boxes - Put boxes with lighter, more fragile ornaments on top of boxes with sturdier ornaments

All of our ornaments come with ribbon, string, or metal rings so you can hang them as soon as they are received.

The number of Christmas ornaments you should have largely depends on the size of your tree, your personal style, and how full you want your tree to look. Here are the top things to consider:

  1. Tree Size
    • Small Tree (3-4 feet): Around 30-50 ornaments
    • Medium Tree (5-7 feet): About 70-100 ornaments
    • Large Tree (8-9 feet): Approximately 150-200 ornaments
    • Extra Large Tree (10+ feet): 250 or more ornaments
  2. Ornament size - how big are the ornaments? Naturally, larger ornaments take up more space so you might need fewer if you use more of them
  3. Style preference - if you like more minimalistic trees then you’ll need less but if you prefer a full & festive tree aim for the higher range we recommended
