Everybody loves a good birthday party, but planning one can be challenging. On top of keeping everything within budget, you also want the celebration to feel personalised—hence, DIY decorations the perfect choice.
Read on to discover some creative and affordable decorations you and your children can create that will take the party to the next level!
Balloon decorations
When it comes to birthday parties, balloons are a must-have as they add colour and liveliness to the celebration. There are many different types of decorations you can create with balloons, from balloon garlands to balloon walls. You can combine balloons of varying colours, sizes, and materials so that the decorations fit any party theme.
Custom banner
For a beautiful backdrop that catches the eye, hang a giant banner across the wall with a “Happy Birthday” message that includes your child’s name and age. You can buy the lettering to arrange the message yourself or get a blank banner, paint, and markers. While the former is more convenient and controllable, the latter will allow you to use your child to add their favourite colours and drawings on the banner.
Paper decorations
You can make many beautiful paper crafts with just some paper, tape, and scissors, such as flowers, streamers, fans, and lanterns. You can also use tissue paper to make DIY pom-poms, which can be hung on the walls.
Furthermore, working on this project allows you and your child to flaunt your artistic skills and creativity, adding to the fun.
DIY photo booth
There is no better way to entertain children than with a DIY photo booth. All you need is a camera, a simple backdrop, and some fun props. Look through your closets for kitschy items like furry scarves and silk gloves, and grab some extra items like tea cups, musical instruments, or a steering wheel, depending on what best suits your theme.
Getting a chalkboard or a dry-erase board would also be great, as it allows your children and their guests to capture their messages on camera.
Themed table settings
To create a cohesive and visually appealing celebration, let your child pick out a theme they love.
Some exciting birthday themes include:
- Cotton candy
- Superhero
- Pirate
- Mermaid
- Pyjama party
All you have to do is find some plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths, and centrepieces that complement the chosen theme.
DIY party favours
All birthday parties should include party favours so everyone can bring some of the fun back home.
This time, instead of packing lollipops and trinkets in the goodie bags, make your party favours extra special with some DIY items. Some possible items you and your child can work on together include personalised handmade journals, slime kits, and bookmarks.
Conclusion
DIY birthday decorations are the ideal choice to brighten up a party while incorporating personalised elements into the celebration.
