Which Christmas Porch Package Fits Your Home? A Simple Sizing Guide

The most common question we get after “how much is it?” is “which package is right for my house?” The honest answer is that it depends less on the size of your home and more on the shape of your entry: how wide the door is, whether there’s a covered porch, and whether there are steps or a railing leading up to it. This guide walks through each of those, so you can match your porch to one of our four fresh Christmas packages before you book.

Every package uses fresh greenery, real cut wreaths and garland, styled for your entry and installed by our team. No lights are included in any package.

Start with three quick questions

1. Is it just a front door, or a porch? A door with a small stoop and little room on either side is a different job from a covered porch with space for planters.
2. Are there steps up to the door? Even two or three steps give us a place to add trees and poinsettias that make the entry feel fuller from the street.
3. Is there a staircase or railing you’d like dressed? Railing garland is the single biggest visual change you can make, and it’s what our largest package is built around.

The four packages, matched to the porch

Joyful Door ($349): a single front door with little floor space

Joyful Door includes a 24″ fresh wreath with a bow and 18-20 ft of fresh garland framing the door, professionally installed. It’s the right fit for a standard single door, a narrow stoop, a townhome or condo entry, or any door where planters would crowd the walkway. If you’d mostly see your entry from the driveway or sidewalk, a framed door already reads as “decorated” from a distance.

Welcome Porch ($599, our most popular): a door with room on each side

Welcome Porch includes everything in Joyful Door, plus a pair of styled urns or planters and velvet bows. If you have a couple of feet of floor space on either side of the door, the urns fill the corners and make the whole entry feel finished, not just the door. This is where most homes in Rocklin, Roseville and Lincoln land, especially covered entries, where urns hold up nicely out of the sun and rain.

Merry & Bright ($899): homes with a few front steps

Merry & Bright includes everything in Welcome Porch, plus 2 live mini trees, a second wreath or swag and poinsettias. It suits homes with steps up to the door, because the trees and poinsettias can sit on the steps and carry the look down toward the walkway. It’s also a good choice for double doors, where a second wreath or swag keeps both sides balanced, and for entries you want to look full and festive in holiday photos. For step-by-step styling ideas, see our Christmas porch ideas for homes with front steps and staircases.

Grand Celebration ($1,299+): staircases, railings and statement entries

Grand Celebration includes everything in Merry & Bright, plus 20-30 ft of fresh staircase or railing garland and larger trees and urns. It’s built for the homes in Granite Bay, Folsom, El Dorado Hills and the foothills with a long front staircase, a wraparound railing, tall columns or a two-story entry. Our guide to decorating a two-story or tall entry shows how to fill that kind of entry. The “+” is there because some entries need more than 30 ft of garland or extra pieces; we’ll quote those up front after seeing a photo.

Common porch situations

• Double front doors: Merry & Bright, so each door gets its own wreath or swag. A very simple double door with no steps can work with Welcome Porch plus an extra wreath add-on ($95).
• Tall columns on each side: Welcome Porch or Merry & Bright. Columns look best with urns at their base. Long column wraps are usually a custom quote.
• Front door set back in a courtyard or behind a gate: Welcome Porch. The urns help the entry show from the gate. Gated communities and courtyards are fine; just share the code when you book.
• Uncovered door with strong afternoon sun: any package works, but a later install date helps fresh greenery last. See our fresh greenery care guide.
• Railing on just one side of a few steps: Merry & Bright plus one extra 10 ft of fresh garland ($125) often does it without going up to Grand Celebration.
• More than one entry, or an interior space too: ask for a custom Christmas decorating quote.

Add-ons that fill a gap

If your porch sits between two packages, an add-on is often the simplest answer: extra 10 ft of fresh garland $125, extra wreath $95, urn pair $199, live mini tree $99, velvet ribbon upgrade $49, and poinsettias $25 each. Our Christmas porch decorating cost guide shows full pricing, the 25% booking fee and what removal costs.

How to measure your porch (it takes two minutes)

• Measure the width of the door frame. Most single doors are around 3 ft wide; double doors are around 5-6 ft. (Choosing your own wreath? See our front door wreath size guide.)
• Note how many steps lead to the door, and roughly how long any railing is.
• Check the floor space on each side of the door. About 2 ft is enough for a styled urn.
• Take one photo from the walkway, straight on, so we can see the whole entry.

Then text that photo to (916) 289-2538 and we’ll tell you which package fits. Nothing is charged when you send a request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Christmas porch package is most popular?

Welcome Porch ($599) is our most popular package. It includes a 24″ fresh wreath with a bow, 18-20 ft of fresh garland around the door, a pair of styled urns or planters and velvet bows, which suits most single-door entries with a little floor space.

Which package should I choose for double front doors?

Merry & Bright ($899) is usually the best fit, because it includes a second wreath or swag so both doors are balanced, plus live mini trees and poinsettias. A simple double door without steps can also work with Welcome Porch plus an extra wreath ($95).

Do I need Grand Celebration if I have front steps?

Not usually. Merry & Bright suits homes with a few front steps. Grand Celebration ($1,299+) is for long staircases, railings and statement entries, since it adds 20-30 ft of staircase or railing garland.
