Pennant and paper garlands as creative decorations

Why Use Garlands as Decorations?

Party garlands are not a new invention; people have been using them for hundreds of years. They decorate objects, rooms, or even themselves with them. Garlands are decorative chains used for embellishment. They emphasize the occasion of the party, such as Halloween, a birthday, a wedding, or Christmas.

These popular decorative items can be made from different materials—paper is one of the most common. Flowers, leaves, shells, and stones are also wonderful choices for garlands.

Over time, bunting garlands—also called bunting chains—developed from the classic garland. You can recognize them by the small flags, usually triangular, arranged in a chain. They are often made of fabric, but paper and plastic are also common. The latter is ideal, especially for an outdoor party, as these chains can withstand rain and storms very well.

Paper and Bunting Garlands as Decorations

You can creatively decorate your venue with garlands, as there are different types:

• classic garlands
• bunting chains
• swirls
• banners
• honeycomb ball garlands
• hanging garlands

Pay attention to the length of the garland. It should not get lost on the wall, but it should not extend beyond the wall either. If you want to hang the garland across the room, the distance from hook to hook is also important. It must also hang high enough for even the tallest guest to walk underneath it upright.

Decorating Properly with Garlands

Before you start decorating, think of a theme. This is, of course, easiest when decorating for a holiday, a milestone birthday, or a wedding. At a small birthday party or summer celebration, a specific theme is perfect for creating special moments. It will also bring unique joy to the birthday child, for example.

What do you feel like? What does your child want for their birthday? How would you like to surprise your guests? There is an endless pool of possibilities:

• 1980s
• hippie party
• horror house
• island paradise
• winter fun
• detective adventure
• superheroes
• and much more
