10 Quick and Easy Birthday Party Decor ideas
Decorating a room for your little one’s party at first may seem like a tiring task. But it doesn’t have to be.
As long as you have an idea of what theme they’re going to love, we can then help you identify the quick and easy party decorations to make the process as efficient as possible!
Here are some of our best quick and easy party decorating ideas you can use for your next event.
1) Age Banners are great for DIY Birthday Party Themes
A party needs banners! Most birthday banners simply say Happy Birthday or something related, but a birthday is so much more, it is a celebration of life and age is an important part of decorations.
Instead of hanging a generic banner, consider adding an age banner.
Adding age banners are a great idea for party decorations for kids as well as adults. Homemade birthday banners will add something extra and are a quick decoration idea.
If you’re looking for some inspiration on what theme to go for, we’ve got you covered!
2) DIY Confetti Filled Birthday Balloons
Balloons are a must at a party, as is confetti. Why not combine them for great DIY party decorations. Put some confetti inside some balloons and you make a really nice statement.
Popping one of these balloons at a pivotal moment during the event can add just the right amount of flair to the party too! A real talking point!
3) Feather Filled Balloons - Birthday Decoration for when confetti isn’t allowed
Just like confetti, feathers look great inside balloons too, especially at weddings. Light, delicate and adding a lot of texture, they offer a great alternative to confetti.
Some venues also may prohibit the use of confetti altogether, so a better alternative might be some feather-filled balloons.
We also supply ready-inflated feather-filled balloons, even easier! Balloons are easily filled and feathers are very cost-effective too!
Homemade party decorations such as these add a little interest and can be easier to clean up than confetti.
4) Balloon in a Box, a quick decoration solution
We love balloons in boxes, we think they make a wonderful gift, a great surprise and they are so versatile too.
Once your balloon is given as a gift, you could use it as a bouquet to decorate your venue meaning you get even more value for money!
Party decoration ideas can range from average to elaborate, but one that is also a surprise gift perfect. A little surprise can go a long way.
Consider giving a balloon in a box hidden among the other gifts to make the recipient smile just a bit more on their special day.
5) Table Confetti - The best Easy party decorations?
One of the easiest party decoration ideas is to add confetti to your party table.
Confetti makes the perfect quick party decorations idea, and its possible use at a party is endless.
We have already mentioned using it inside balloons, but a more easy party decoration idea is to spread a little confetti along party tables.
You could even consider making your own confetti with paper. Birthday decorations with paper are among the least expensive options for your party decoration needs.
6) Transform your party with Hanging Decorations
Hanging decorations are a great way to decorate ceilings, tables and door frames.
They can also be great handmade birthday decorations and hook-on chairs.
Many party venues allow for hanging party decorations and if your event venue allows for this type of decoration, you should definitely make sure you bring some to your party!.
Hanging decorations can be simple DIY paper garlands or more elaborately decorated paper fan DIY. The key is to get creative.
You could cheat and use our great fan or garland decorations which are ready-made instead though!
7) Streamers, the Perfect DIY Birthday Decoration
What is a birthday party or any celebration without streamers? Streamers are a lot of fun to decorate with and are available in every colour of the rainbow.
Streamers can be strung together to provide even more colour and whimsy to the event.
8) DIY Balloon Garland - Balloon Decorations DIY
8) Transform your birthday party with a DIY Balloon Garland
Planning a party is the perfect time to get a little creative. With a few balloons and string, you can create a birthday or even a festive DIY balloon garland everyone will love.
You can add notes to the inside of the balloons or stuff them with small toys for a fun addition to the party. If you need a little more instruction, our balloon garlands will help.
9) Homemade Birthday Party Hats made out of plates
Making simple party decorations for your birthday at home do not have to be complicated.
Actually, paper plates are a great starting point for an easy party decorating idea. So they decorate the table, but why stop there?
Paper plates can become almost any party decoration imaginable. Our favourite quick party idea has to be making party hats out of party plates.
Simply cut the middle of the plat from one side to the other a few times (like slices of pizza), making sure not to cut all the way across, most plates have a lip so cut to this and you should be just fine!
But don’t worry, we’ve got plenty more ideas like this to make your party that much better!
Next, get your party guests to decorate their plate and adjust it to fit their heads. With a few decorations like glitter, sequins and some crayons you can make fun or festive hats with little effort.
If you prefer some ready-to-use party hats we have them too.
10) Make your own DIY Tassel Garland
You have DIY birthday banners, some balloon simple decoration ideas and more!
A great way to complement the quick and easy decorations is with a homemade tassel garland.
DIY paper garlands are easy to make and you can completely customize them to suit your colour requirements. They can be made in a variety of different colours.
To make a tassel garland, roll up your chosen colour of paper and cut strips into the roll. Attach it to a string, banner, or streamer for a stunning homemade decoration everyone will love.
