When you give someone theater tickets as a gift, how do you present them? Fancy envelope? The gift card holders are too small to hold tickets. I'm thinking maybe a nice envelope in a gift bag with some tissue paper but I'm open to suggestions. What have you all done in the past?

What a great gift giver you are! This may sound tacky but usually when I give theatre tickets, I buy something inexpensive that represents the show. Example: for Rent i bought a little candle...and put in the tickets along with it in a gift bag. Hope this helps :)

I like to do a cute little tie in gift too, and either put them in the bag or wrapped in with them. For example:
When I gave my family tickets for "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", one person got a cheap dollar store wig in a small cardboard box ("Wig in a Box"
, someone got a Sugar Daddy candy ("Sugar Daddy" and someone got a copy of "Dexter" with a TV tie in cover (we were going to be seeing Michael C. Hall as Hedwig). They then guessed what we were doing, and I presented the ticket envelope.
This year, I'm gifting "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" tickets, so I got a giant candy bar and was going to tape the envelope to the back of it and open it up.

Since it lacks excitement OPENING something like that, I've made a puzzle gift....where the recipient had to put the puzzle together to figure out the gift.

I'm with the others. Usually give/receive a small themed gift with the tickets. Couple years ago my friend gave me a chocolate cake with Matilda tickets. Was very cute.

The tickets are for a family that I'm close friends with to go see Wicked here in Orlando. What could I give with the tickets? A witches hat?

For Wicked you could include a copy of the Cast Recording or a maybe copy of the book.

I've seen some cute Wizard of Oz ornaments at places like 5 Below that could work. Or be practical and get a broom

I agree with the ornament suggestion! A wicked witch ornament would be so cool to include with the tickets. They also sell them at Amazon.
