That's why beautiful decorations are so important

In the kitchen, they say, “We eat with our eyes.” And when it comes to a party, the same definitely applies: “We celebrate with our eyes!” After all, attractive decoration that is appropriate for the occasion quickly puts guests in the right mood. This applies equally to adults and children, as even the youngest guests first need to “warm up” when, for example, they do not know the other invitees. How lovely it is, then, when colorful decorations for a children’s birthday party turn the garden, party room, or even the entire home into a cheerful party venue.

Whether you choose the motto “Less is more” or want to use as many decorations and accessories as possible is entirely up to you and your child. These may be criteria to help you decide which decorations, and how much of them, are suitable for a children’s birthday party:

  • How large is the area you have available to decorate?
  • Are you celebrating indoors or outdoors?
  • In addition to tables, can you also decorate walls, windows, and doors, or trees and garden furniture?

Children's birthday party – the best decorations

The great thing about decorations for children’s birthday parties is that they are so incredibly diverse that there is guaranteed to be something to suit every taste. However, this also means there is a tough choice to make, because deciding among all the lovely accessories can sometimes be difficult. Broadly speaking, we distinguish between children’s birthday party table decorations, tableware sets, and wall decorations for children’s birthday parties.

Our tip: Here at Kostümpalast, balloons form their own special category: From colorful eco-friendly balloons and foil balloons in many different
shapes to balloon garlands, you are sure to find exactly what your child will like best. In the balloon accessories category, for example, we offer helium bottles and sticks for holding balloons. With us, you can get all your party decorations from a single source.

  • Children’s birthday party table decorations


    What shouldn’t be missing from the table alongside the birthday candle and delicious treats? Pretty decorations, of course! Use streamers and confetti to decorate the table and make it the central eye-catcher in the party room. Cakes, muffins, cupcakes, and savory snacks can also be decorated to match with cake decorations in the form of picks, paper banners on cardboard sticks, or paper baking cups. Or how about a
    cardboard tiered stand to beautifully arrange the delicious treats? With child-friendly table decorations, you have so many possibilities!

  • Paper tableware and sets


    Party decorations for a child's birthday party include more than just accessories that enhance the venue. Practical items that are always needed for serving food are also part of the essentials. These include, for example, plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths, and straws. Paper tableware is especially popular at outdoor birthday parties, as ceramic plates and glasses can easily break during a picnic
    . In a garden allotment or park, there is usually no fully equipped kitchen available either, which is why paper tableware and sets are a welcome alternative.

  • Wall decorations for a children's birthday party


    Whether you celebrate the children’s birthday party indoors or outdoors, many decorations can be used both inside and outside. For example, you can attach honeycomb balls and rosettes, bunting and paper garlands, as well as paper lanterns and lanterns, just as easily to curtain rods and furniture as to trees and garden sheds. Classic wall and room decorations also include curtains and party backdrops, which make the entrance door or a bare wall look inviting. With decorations this great, the children’s birthday party is sure to be a fantastic success!

  • The special Kostümpalast tip

    People of all ages love photo booths! They not only invite guests to take funny pictures with friends during the party, but also create lasting memories. You can either give guests the printed photos to take home right away or make them available for download digitally.

    Photo booth props make the memories from a child’s birthday party even more special. Funny speech bubbles, hats, beards, and much more encourage guests to experiment with facial expressions and gestures. Here at Kostümpalast, you can also find themed photo booth accessories, such as Star Wars or Disney sets.

Popular themes for children's birthday parties

The main thing is that it’s cheerful and colorful—or would you rather go all out with the style of Anna and Elsa, Fireman Sam, Peppa Pig, or the Minions? There are virtually endless possibilities for adapting children’s birthday party decorations to a specific theme. Most children love these theme parties, as they can celebrate with their heroes from film and television or their favorite animals.

For all the popular themes, we have put together practical supplies and useful accessories at Kostümpalast. In addition to complete paper tableware sets containing cups, plates, and napkins, you will find foil balloons, garlands, and banners, for example—naturally printed with the appropriate theme, featuring dinosaurs, a pirate skull, and many other designs.

These are 4 popular themes for children’s birthday parties for which you can find matching decorations and beautiful accessories here at Kostümpalast:

  • Heroes from Film and Television

    • For kids, for example: Frozen, Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Minions, Fireman Sam, Pokémon
    • For teens, for example: Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Marvel superheroes, Disney classics

    History

    • For example: knight and princess, pirate, cowboy/cowgirl, Roman emperor, Egyptian pharaoh

  • Professions

    • for example: firefighter, astronaut, doctor, pilot, chef

    Animal World

    • for example: dinosaurs, horses, dogs, cats

Depending on your preferences, you can limit the decorations for the children’s birthday party to the table with matching tableware and napkins, or really go all out with the decorating. You could also enhance the themed party with the appropriate costumes for women, costumes for men, and, of course, children’s costumes. Kids love dressing up, not just for Carnival!

These games are the most fun

Children’s birthday party decorations not only spruce up the party venue but can also be easily incorporated into popular games. For example, use an inflatable knight’s sword when playing “pot banging”—it makes considerably less noise than a wooden spoon. These 7 games are true children’s birthday party classics and never get boring. Best of all, depending on the season and weather, they can be prepared and played both indoors and outdoors.

  • Pot Banging: Hot or cold—the players give hints about which direction the pot is in, which the player has to hit.

    Sack Race: At least two children each get into a large sack and hop along a
    predefined route as quickly as possible.

    Musical Chairs: This game is also known as musical chairs. There is always one fewer chair than players, so luck and agility are essential.

    Chinese Whispers: The first player whispers a sentence into the next player's ear, who then whispers it to the next player. This leads to
    amusing misunderstandings.

  • Spin the Bottle: A bottle is spun in the middle of a large circle. Whoever the bottle neck points to must complete a task.

    Drop the Handkerchief: All the children sit in a large circle while one player walks behind them carrying the handkerchief, secretly drops it, and runs off.

    Chocolate Game: Whoever rolls a 6 must quickly put on a hat, gloves, and scarf, then use a knife and fork to cut off a piece of the chocolate bar.

3 tips for birthday party decorations

  1. It’s not a must, but it has now become an unofficial standard: the party favor or small gift. Use gift bags or pouches that match the party theme.
  2. Food and drinks are, of course, also essential at a children’s birthday party! Serve cake and savory snacks on paper plates and
    provide printed napkins so that everything looks beautifully coordinated.
  3. Not everything has to be new – you can safely store banners, garlands, table confetti, photo booth props, and much more and reuse them for the next suitable occasion.
