Party Decoration Tricks & Tips
Sometimes you can put so much effort into your costume, you can forget about planning the rest of the party! Don’t worry; it happens to us all. The good news is that party decoration follows the same process as making a costume: start with the basics and then add extra details so everything matches.
Here are some party decoration ideas to make it a night to remember!
Starting With the Basics
No matter what your theme, every party has a few essentials. Balloons, streamers and confetti are hugely versatile, complementing the theme to transform your space. For a spooky party, try drawing zombie faces on balloons and using fans to direct them at your guests (you could even make a game of it).
If there’s sitting-down food like a birthday cake, you’ll need to provide enough plates and cutlery for your guests. Plastic utensils and paper plates are dirt cheap, but they stand out. Regular plates and everyday silverware can bring out the colour in your birthday table decorations, such as a themed tablecloth, special candles and the design of the cake itself.
Plastic or paper cups are another mainstay of parties, whether the drinks are alcoholic or sugary. Jazz them up a bit with some stickers, doodles or colour schemes. Making your own paper flowers or party hats is easy as well, and help you add that personal touch to your decorations.
Want to Try Harder With Decorating?
Once you’ve mastered the basics, experiment with some more advanced party decoration ideas. Functional features like photo booths and dessert stations offer great opportunities to get creative. Fill your photo booth with decorative props, wigs and accessories related to your theme, and give it a killer backdrop. Similarly, a dessert station can let guests decorate their own food with themed sweets.
If you’re taking the party outside, garden lighting can provide any atmosphere from a warm intimate setting to a techno-apocalyptic rave. Choose lights with the colours and shapes that will best suit your theme. Use string lights and lanterns to border the edges of your party to keep the fun focused in one place.
