Tips for party decorations that won’t break the bank

Decorations are one of the basic things without which a children’s birthday celebration cannot do. In the past, the room was decorated with inflatable balloons, and the party could begin. Today, one can easily get lost in the countless decorative elements offered by stores. Which decorations to choose? What will children like the most and won’t be expensive? We will gladly answer all these questions in the following lines. Even with a few crowns, you can have beautiful decor.

 

What decorations will you need?

We recommend choosing a beautifully and cheerfully set table as the centerpiece of the room or garden where the celebration will take place. It’s clear that it will be loaded with tempting dishes, but how to liven it up? First of all, buy disposable children’s tableware. Plates, cups, straws, napkins. If you have a theme for the event, buy tableware in line with that theme. Many online shops offer this assortment, and you will surely find your child’s favorite motif.

 

The table should also be nicely set. You can buy colorful disposable tablecloths or use table runners, tablecloths, or arrange organza. Don’t be afraid to play with decoration. Name tags or confetti scattered on the table can serve as additional accents. Decorate the birthday cake as well. Use candles or a fountain that creates the effect of flying sparks.

 

Also, focus on decorations in the space. Hang favorite garlands on the ceiling or wall, which can be shaped like lanterns, streamers, paper balls, pom-poms, flags, etc. You can also use birthday banners, for example, with the inscription Happy Birthday. Balloons remain a classic, and nowadays they come in many shapes. Instead of twenty simple balloons, for example, buy three foil inflatable figures. If they are inflated with helium, you can even place them in the middle of the room using a balloon weight.

 

 

Children will also enjoy paper hats and party blowers. However, be prepared for the celebration to be a bit louder. If you have prepared competitions, you can also decorate individual stations differently.

 

If you don’t have enough time, you can order a complete party set online from specialized e-shops. You just choose the color or theme, and you will receive a package with complete decorations.

 

How to save money on children’s party decorations

Most decorations you buy for a children’s party will last you for several years if the kids don’t destroy them. This applies especially to hanging decorations. If they are in a neutral theme (princesses and pirates may bore your child in a year), store them well. When you pull them out in a year and complement them with new party decorations for the table, the kids will be surprised and excited again.

 

Compare prices. The same item may have a different price tag at different retailers. Look also on foreign websites, on platforms like AliExpress or Wish, products are available for a much lower price. For example, a foil balloon in the shape of the fairy-tale character Elsa, 120 cm high, can be found there for about 25 CZK.

 

 

Use natural decoration. Sometimes, a little is enough for joy. Instead of artificial plastic decorations, use natural ones. Combine it with a trip to nature and collect wildflowers, pine cones, pebbles, twigs, and anything else that catches your eye. However, these items look best on classic porcelain and glassware (which also saves you money on disposable tableware). Put flowers in glass pitchers, scatter pine cones and washed pebbles of interesting shapes around the table.

 

Children will be thrilled if you prepare something unusual. Try hosting a party in the garden and create a long table from pallets. Just stack two on top of each other to make the table lower. Use natural decoration and classic tableware. Place cushions around the table as seats, and you can be sure of success. Place tea candles in large canning jars, and you can enclose the celebration in this magical way. However, do not place textiles or paper near the candles.

 

You can also entrust the organization and decorations to professionals

Fortunately, there are companies that will take care of the organization of celebrations for you. We recommend Happy Times agency, which has extensive experience in preparing events for children and can advise you in any aspect, even with decorations. Moreover, they offer the rental of inflatable attractions such as bouncy castles in Prague, etc. Simply send an inquiry with a description of your idea, and at the end, you will have an unforgettable children’s party!
