2020 is a tough year. Let it rock your loved ones’ special day with some amazing birthday decorations no matter what.
The start of new age calls for an unforgettable moment with your loved ones as family members, friends, or significant others. Let’s remember how you have got excited on your special day where you could be the center of all attention, receive surprising gifts, and all the generous wishes as you were kids. When it comes to celebrating another year older for your loved ones, you definitely want to make them surprised and enjoy an exceptional night. You will probably think of an over-the-top fun or a more low-key celebration – Either way, the countdown to the birthday party will pass in a flash with some creative birthday decorations and ideas.
If you have a hard time figuring out what will make it memorable, we’ve got you covered. But first thing first, make sure you have a thoughtful checklist before getting started.
- Decide who you’d like to invite: You gotta be clear of those who they bring into their inner circle so that you can note down who you would like to invite. By doing this, you will get an idea of the size of your birthday party and estimate how many people will join with you, which is easier for you to keep on track with what you need to buy for the birthday decorations. More importantly, they will be more grateful for this special gift since it shows that you put your heart into doing this.
- Book an event venue: After having a guest list, whether you are looking for an intimate or fun gathering, choose the place to host the birthday party and accommodate your guests. If you want to hold a cozy gathering, a get-together at your biggest room in the house will be a great idea to avoid transportation issues and save your money. Otherwise, choose an affordable space where you and your loved ones don’t want the night to end.
- Decide on a budget for food, drinks, and birthday decorations: Now, let’s set a budget that covers all the things needed for the party night. You might want to offer your guests a nice selection of delicious food in the menu that is easy to grab (Whatever you plan, don’t forget the birthday cake – Of course!) and decorate a celebratory environment.
- Pick the main theme: This work will set a tone for your food, drinks, and birthday decorations – Just make sure it fits your style and budget. If your kids’ special day is approaching, opt for kid theme parties such as Alice in Wonderland, Disney/Pixar, Carnival, etc. However, for adults or teenagers, the themes tended to be a tad different.
7 Birthday Decoration Ideas
Decorating is the most important and exciting part of organizing a birthday party. You can either choose to hire experts to help you by finding decorating supplies or do it by yourself with the help of a few willing hands. Using the party planning checklist and starting the decorating process the day before your part will help everything goes smoothly with half of the stress. But remember that at the end of the day, it is about bringing people together and having fun – that’s the main point.
Banner and Scene Setters
Design your own customized ‘Happy Birthday’ banner with their name or new age. If you are not sure, opt for their favorite colors, themes, or personal interests. Place it high up against the wall where everyone can see it and take memorable pictures with our protagonist of the night during cocktail hours.
Balloons and Signage
No matter how old you are, you don’t need to worry if balloons will go out of date as birthday decorations and they can also be combined easily with the main themed party. Double these balloons as the perfect backdrop for photos. Plus, yard signs will be an extra touch if you have an outdoor party or in a restaurant.
Fairy Lights
If you are looking to add a little shiny touch to the decoration, fairy lights will light up your party and make it glamour. Placing some simple cupcake liners or printed photos of your loved ones around fairy lights will become the highlight of the entire event. These are great birthday decorations your loved ones will definitely fall in love with.
Pinatas
These adorable and colorful birthday decorations would be a perfect choice for your kids whether boys or girls since nowadays it’s very popular to make them representing superheroes, cartoon characters, or even animals instead of a start with seven points as before. At birthday parties, you can also let kids play the game to break the piñata before cutting the cake.
Party Hats & Props
Invite your guests to wear colorful hats and props to complement your theme during the party. Don’t be too rigid, but you can double the fun by providing them these creative birthday decorations and make the party more entertaining.
Wish Jars
Don’t forget that our protagonist will eagerly expect to receive meaningful wishes from others on their special day. You can place some mason jars as birthday decorations on the tables around the party set-up so that everyone can write down their wishes for that person on small pieces of paper and put it into the ‘wish jars’ by the end of the night.
Birthday Cake
Last but not least, this is the most vital piece of birthday decorations. It would be a huge shortcoming if you complete the party without having a birthday cake on the table centerpiece. And of course, your loved ones never expect it happens! Let’s order the most celebratory decadent dessert with their name on it.
Finally, don’t forget to set aside inclusive games or activities in order to keep everyone in good spirits throughout the night. Let’s enjoy the fulfilling party and you will find that the birthday person will be really appreciative of this thoughtful gesture of this party idea being made with love – only for them.
