How to Throw a Birthday Party

A little birdy told us that someone’s birthday is coming up! We know that with all the excitement and celebration around birthdays, there’s also the stress of planning and making sure things are perfect. So here are a couple ideas to help kickstart your brainstorming!

Once you’ve got the guest list in order, consider the aesthetic you’ll be trying to create within your party. Is there a color scheme? It could be a single color like lavender, or monochromatic, or inspired by an orange creamsicle’s shades of orange and white. Maybe you’re considering a theme, such as Mardi Gras, nautical, flappers, or arcade. Whatever you’re considering, you can help the theme come together with key details.

Incorporating the colors of your theme can come from the napkins, tablecloths, centerpieces or balloons. Adding key theme-specific decorational pieces could really bring together the theme you’re trying to achieve. For example, you could add a gold tier cake and white feathery centerpieces to a Great Gatsby themed party. One excellent addition would be a step and repeat or 8x8 backdrop which could help sell the entire theme. Entirely customizable, you could highlight your event with your own designs, photos, patterns, or text to go with your party. It would complete the room of the party while simultaneously acting as a great photo backdrop for all your guests. The step and repeat and customizable backdrops are made of 14 oz high tenacity polyester vinyl making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so don’t feel limited in choosing your party location! You can also consider adding a dress code element and ask guests to come dressed appropriately according to the theme, which can help add an extra spark to the party!

Tip: If using a larger space for your party, you can consider placing an x-stand banner in front of the entrance to help your guests find their way to the party.

No matter how you throw the party, what’s most important is that you are in good company. Even the most poorly decorated parties can end up being the best because of the people in attendance. So no matter what you decide to do, we hope you and your loved ones have a great time celebrating!
