Top 10 Birthday Party Decoration Ideas

No one is too old to celebrate one’s birthday. Whether an individual is about to reach a hundred or just crossed ten, birthday parties are reminders that heart, really, never grows old. Just a few wrinkles and crinkles. Some fine lines. But if there is a day that makes you forget all these things and which brings you back into your true childlike bubbly zone, which is the occasion of your birthday. No matter how big or small your social or family circle might be, this day deserves a full-on celebration; with cake, music, snacks, best friends, dance, decorations, games and oh yes, gifts!

Here are some lovely birthday party decoration ideas which might help you decide the theme and decoration, or yet another addition to your upcoming birthday party. Let’s flip through.

Assortment of Decorations

From stars to flowers to banners and paper lanterns, there is no end to the list of items you can use to give a creative twist to your birthday party. If it’s your kid’s party, you can also select decorations based on a children’s theme such as animals, cartoons, superheroes, fairylands or gadgets.

Potpourri of Colours

Nothing complements a birthday party more than lots of colors. Birthday, after all, is all the color, zest and rainbowy. So, whether you’re celebrating your child’s birthday or maybe, you’re an adult, color is something you must add to your party. It can be in the form of a chocolate gem cake, piñata or confetti. Or, maybe you can tell the guests to wear colorful dresses. Something like that.

Picnic Style

If you’ve ever dreamed of spending a dreamy evening with your friends and loved ones, this is the time to take action. Select any private outdoor area such as your garden, backyard, or rooftop terrace. If this isn’t possible, you can book a resort for a day. Now, decorate the greenery with strings of rice lights, set some tables and shove them off with candles and floral decorations. Keep a wooden oven or barbeque aside. This will be used to cook pizzas, garlic bread and hot patties which you’ll enjoy with guests. If this is your kid’s birthday, perhaps a trampoline addition is needed.

Glow & Games

Decorate the party hall with plenty of neon stickers. Buy some fluorescent light sticks. When the guests arrive, turn off the lights, turn on the music and let them dance and play and do the fun. Followed by it you can add sessions of fun activities like the lemon-in-spoon game, board games, Chinese whisper, mimicry, etc. This decoration is best suited for a kid’s birthday party unless you wish to experiment it as an adult too. If yes, sure, go ahead!

Over Collages & Cocktails

Birthday parties aren’t just for toddlers or teenyboppers. If you’re planning to arrange a birthday party for your parents or grandparents, this might be the perfect idea you’ve been looking for. Make them feel the nostalgia and laugh-and-cry with their close friends by bringing over a projector and playing any collages, cassettes or DVDs of their younger years. Decorate the venue with dim lighting, buffet, and beer.

Coke, Samosas & Gossip

Here’s an Indian-style party idea you can arrange on a shoestring budget. Invite your buddies, order cake, samosas, and soft drinks. No need to go for expensive decorations, just basic home cleaning and a little organization will do. You can also create a cozy setting with some fluffy cushions and lamps.

Dark-themed Movie Night

Experiment with an eccentric style birthday party by inviting your cousins or friends, and hosting a movie night after the cake-cutting ceremony, along with popcorn bags, blankets, neon lanterns, and chocolates.

Think Glitter & Gifts

Throw a retro-style birthday party. Decorate the party hall with lots of glittery stars and itsy-bitsy decorations. Give the guests their own glittery masks, maybe even costumes to dance like disco. You can even let them take these masks or costumes back home as return gifts.

Fun Food Village

Food always works. No matter what your age is, you can arrange a hearty birthday treat for your guests. Choose a space setting. Set up two to three stalls with trays of appetizers and snacks. Add some chairs or standing tables. You can also decorate these tables with small vases and ribbons.

Balloons, Brunch & Baubles

A simple-to-do decorative theme; host a hearty yet simple birthday treat with fun-filled activities, snacks and pop-and-burst balloons filled with toffees. Perhaps, a magician can be an additional fun element, especially for kids.
