Do-It-Yourself (DIY) is never going out of trend. Not to mention, the pictures with the DIY decor in their backdrop are extremely cute! 

Origami is your best friend if you want to stick to the basics. You can make simple shapes such as fans, lanterns, hats, and garlands out of paper, or if you’re feeling fancy you can fashion stars, rosettes, pinwheels, and even animals! 

Use some fabric to create tassels and pom-poms that you can arrange into garlands and hang all around one of the gorgeous birthday party halls that you book.

You can use old CDs to create beautiful wall and ceiling hangings that will make the light dance at your party and instantly liven up any venue, be it your living room or one of the birthday party halls!

Flowers, fairy lights, and ribbons can be incorporated into beautiful arrangements for simple yet gorgeous decor pieces that will add a touch of elegance to your birthday celebrations.

You can use balloons and large crepe paper strips to create a backdrop for the birthday celebrations.

If you are feeling particularly crafty, you can get down to the gritty and embellish the candles, create personalized name tags for every guest, and decorate the glasses plates, and straws using washi tape!

Milestone birthday celebrations are very important in a person’s life. Usually, those close to the birthday boy or girl in question – parents, siblings, friends, partner, host the birthday party, and hence the birthday decoration is their concern as well. Since milestone birthday celebrations are once-in-a-lifetime kinds of occasions, milestone birthday decorations are also supposed to be loud, eye-catching, and just superb! One of the birthday party halls can be decorated with ‘Happy Birthday’ signs that are exaggerated in size, large balloons, full-fledged floral arrangements, and all the added glitz and glam are a must in a milestone birthday decoration. Pro-tip: the more personalized the better so try customizing the decor to fit parts of the birthday boy/girl’s personality.

Children’s birthday celebrations are relatively easier to plan but their birthday decoration can be just as tricky. Yes, you might think that your kids will be too busy playing with their friends or too interested in the cake to even notice the birthday decoration, but as we have already clarified above, birthday decoration sets the tone of the party, and you certainly want to give your little ones the most exciting birthday party. 

If they have a favorite superhero or cartoon character, 50% of your job is done. Just go ahead and fill one of the birthday party halls that you book with decor related to that character. If not, you can use puppies, kittens, and unicorns on the backdrops, balloons, posters, party cups, and the cake to create a whimsical theme. Customized paper straws, plates, and cups will keep all of the kids at the party on their toes. If you don’t want to use a specific theme, you can simply make sure that the birthday decoration is glittery and colorful so that the pictures come out adorable.

Or if you’re someone with a love for nature, you can use not only different types of flowers but all kinds of parts of a plant to create a rustic-looking birthday decoration.
