How to Decorate the House for Birthday Parties
Some events call for grand celebrations and birthday parties are one of them as they are celebrated once a year. That said, grand birthday parties can be celebrated at home. In fact, hosting birthday parties at home is very common but what really makes the event memorable apart from the food and cake are the decorations. From balloons to confetti and flowers, there are a number of birthday decorations. Let us take you through a list of birthday party decorations for home.
Decoration Ideas for Birthday Party at Home
Birthday celebrations are always fun. Here are some creative birthday party decorations for home to liven up your event.
Birthday Balloons
Balloons are synonymous with birthday parties. From foil balloons to helium balloons, metallic number balloons, glowing balloons or regular balloons, you can use a variety in different colours to make the party celebrations more exciting.
Common ways of decorating birthday parties with balloons include hanging them from the ceiling, tying them with ribbons to make a colourful garland and decorating the cake with them. You can also draw caricatures of the person being celebrated or hang nice photos of them with helium balloons.
Birthday Banner
Birthday banners can be used to celebrate a simple birthday party or an elaborate one at home. You can create them yourself or buy paper or fabric banners. Other banners available in the market include banners with cartoon characters for kids, double-coloured ones or banners with LED string lights.
Place them on the wall behind the food table or at the entrance. Moreover, these banners can be used later on to celebrate other birthday parties at home.
Birthday Theme
For home birthday party themes, consider the age, gender, likes and dislikes of the person being celebrated. If you’re celebrating your child’s birthday party, set up a theme based on their preference. Animals are really popular among toddlers and growing children. When celebrating your child’s birthday party, you can use animal patterns or decorate the cake with pictures of their favourite animals. Jungle themes, safari themes or a favourite cartoon theme makeup for great animal themes.
Decorate the entire table, party hats, birthday cards and party giveaways for children with one theme.
Moreover, if you’re celebrating a young girl’s birthday, you can set a unicorn, barbie, mermaid, or frozen theme and use softer colours such as pinks, yellows, white and lavenders, among others.
As for young boys, you can decide on a theme around their favourite sport, superhero or favourite game. Apart from birthdays, here is how you can create a superhero themed room for your kids.
Naturally, the theme will change when decorating your home for a birthday party of a teenager or adult, based on their preferences.
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are also necessary for decorating your house for a birthday party. Incorporate the party theme into the delicious treats you’ve made for the guests. Use trays with the setting and place appetising sweet and savoury bites. Keep nibble platters around the house at different spots with flowers and balloons to satisfy the taste of every guest.
If you’re celebrating a teenager’s birthday party you can use a tablecloth with their favourite cartoon, movie or sports figure. If the celebration is for an adult, you can use tablecloths with their favourite colours or activities. Here are some inspiring tablescape decoration ideas.
Use Confetti
Using confetti makes birthday celebrations all the more fun. You can add confetti in regular balloons, sprinkle it around the house or ask the house to pop balloons with confetti. Confetti adds more colour and a positive feel to your home birthday celebration. They also make for great mood enhancers.
Glow Sticks and Lights
Glow Sticks and lights are ideal for birthdays being celebrated at night. You can put glowsticks in balloons or place them near the decorations for a fun experience. Using a string of lights brings a vibrant feel to the overall environment of the party. Adding lights around the dinner table makes up for a vibrant feel.
Moreover, in addition to candles, mason jars and lanterns are perfect for outdoor house parties.
Decorate with Flowers
Flowers brighten the mood of all kinds of celebrations and birthdays are no different. Combine different flowers and place them creatively around the dining table for an elegant touch. You can also add them with the birthday balloon backdrop or create a backdrop with different flowers. Here are some other creative ideas for flower décor at home.
