Recipe for a great mood

Hosts should remember a few simple rules to make the party unforgettable.

It is better to announce to the invitees in advance what outfits they should wear. This is necessary to maintain the general mood of celebration.

The location is important: you can gather in a cafe or at home. The general style should be present not only in the decorative elements of the room, but also in the gift packaging.

Entertainment also needs to be thought through. It’s good when a birthday takes place according to a given scenario, where the time for the feast and entertainment is taken into account, and what kind of music will be played is indicated.

Thematic sets

When there is no time left to prepare the holiday and it is no longer possible to decorate the birthday party, ready-made thematic kits will come to the rescue.

The main advantage of this product is that you buy a ready-made solution for the holiday, all you have to do is provide food and a good mood. The sets are arranged according to color scheme and adhere to a specific holiday scenario.

The price range is quite large and depends on the volume of content. Most often, the standard set includes:

• caps, crowns, hats;
• banners on the wall with a congratulatory inscription;
• Garlands;
• Balloons;
• games;
• decorations for food (flags for canapés, skirts for cupcakes, stylish straws for drinks);
• labels for drinks.

Aerodesign

Balloons will allow you to decorate a room without breaking the bank. You can place weighted helium balloons on the table, one for each person. Figures of cartoon characters, numbers or flowers will stand beautifully around the perimeter.

Garlands and arches look great, especially at significant celebrations. Balloons released into free flight under the ceiling, decorated with ribbons hanging from them, are also appropriate.

Good idea: balls in a net. This design is attached to the ceiling, and when the network is untied, multi-colored rain is obtained. A similar method is a large ball with several small ones inside, which shower guests after the shell explodes.

A few more decor ideas

A great idea would be to decorate the wall with the so-called “wall newspaper” - whatman paper, on which guests can write and draw their wishes and congratulations to the birthday boy. You can use a large piece of wallpaper for this.

You can decorate the wall with a photo collage of the most interesting moments of your baby’s life. Pay attention to the design of the chairs and table. Chairs can be dressed up in fabric skirts, decorated with ribbons tied in a bow, and lush ruffles can be sewn to the tablecloth.

Use a number to decorate the room - the number of years of the hero of the occasion. It can be pasted on the stand, and the number itself can be made from:

• paper in the form of an applique;
• balloons;
• colors;
• New Year's tinsel;
• ribbons;
• pom-poms.

The result is an original painting, or a large postcard.

A non-standard garland will be made from candies, marshmallows or marshmallows strung on a thread. Paper pinwheels placed, for example, on a festive table will fit perfectly into the decor of a child’s birthday. Along the perimeter of the room you can place ordinary balloons, wrapped in transparent paper or veil and tied with ribbons on both sides - you will get bright fake caramels.

Paper decorations

You don’t have to worry long about how to come up with birthday decorations if you have crepe paper at home. It will allow you to make balls with your own hands.

You need to take 4-8 sheets and fold them like an accordion, and tie them in the middle. A semicircle is cut along the edge and the product is straightened. 10-15 resulting balls can be tied on long threads to the ceiling.

Beautiful examples

Use balloons and numbers from them in the decoration of the room where the celebration on the occasion of your spouse’s birthday will take place. This decor is inexpensive, but looks original.

Choose your color scheme carefully. Bright shades are best left for children's or girl's birthdays. For a men's holiday, you can order white and gold balloons.

Balloons in black and white are ideal for a brutal celebration.

There are many original design options; surprise your man by implementing one of the ideas proposed above.

See the video below for the scenario for celebrating the men's anniversary.

Wish tree

An original idea that will please the hero of the occasion and guests. A silhouette of a tree is cut out of large thick cardboard and attached to the wall. Paper rectangles are attached to the branches, where those invited will write congratulations.

Posters

You can hang it on its own or as an addition to the previous idea.

On whatman paper you need to write a title, stick a photo of the hero of the day and postcards. Leave space for inscriptions, prepare markers and colored pens for guests.

Giant candies

The instructions on how to make birthday decorations will be clear even to those who have not created similar designs before.

• A 50-60 cm plywood strip is covered with light paint;
• A circle of foam plastic with a diameter of 30 cm is covered with brightly colored paper;
• The parts are fastened together;
• The foam “lollipop” is wrapped in oilcloth, which is tied with ribbon to the stick.

Decoration with balloons

First of all, do not forget about such a wonderful symbol of joy and fun as a balloon. Each of us associates a balloon with childhood, going to the circus or amusement park, with happy holidays, clowns and other equally joyful events in life.

You can create an amazingly beautiful panel of balloons on the wall or ceiling, combine clusters of balloons into luxurious bouquets or form outlandish compositions. Decorative satin ribbons or cut out corrugated paper ribbons can be an excellent addition to balloons.

Balloons that are randomly scattered on the floor throughout the room look festive and original. Young children especially like this decoration. You can attach the best children's photographs of the birthday boy to balloons inflated with helium and decorate the room with them.

The news portal “Vtemu.by” would like to share with you a little trick. After a holiday or birthday party, you will definitely start cleaning, which means you will have to get rid of the balloons. So, do not rush to throw away deflated or burst balloons, because even from such garbage you can make an amazingly beautiful piece of furniture, like a decorative wreath on a door or a bright garland.

Show all your imagination, and you will definitely get a bright and unforgettable holiday interior.

Star

Many voluminous stars will create a fabulous atmosphere. The diagram must be attached to paper and cut out. Fold the blanks according to the pattern. Glued together, these parts form a star.

Paper pompom

A semicircle is cut out of thick paper folded in half. Several sheets of corrugated paper need to be placed on top of each other and cut out a circle.

Glue the paper alternately in strips to a sheet of cardboard, and at the end - cardboard. Fasten the thread inside the product and glue the cardboard semicircles.

Dance battle

This happens in the second half of the holiday, when guests have a desire to get up from the table and stretch their legs. The charismatic host manages to organize the dance battle very effectively, but you and I need to make do with minimal effort. It is best to divide the guests into 4 groups and invite them to pull out a piece of paper with the name of the dance from their “hat”. There is no need to speak out loud - we just give the teams the opportunity to mentally prepare and remember the basic movements. We are preparing recordings of 4 dances, for example: rock and roll, gypsy, latina, hop-hop. Each group dances one dance in the center, while all other guests make a large circle and support. This won’t work in an apartment, so the teams simply dance one by one.

It would be nice to give out some accessories - funny plastic glasses, bandanas, scarves, beads, etc.

Among the dancers, a large inflatable figure looks impressive (they are called “walkers”). They are inflated with helium and have weights in the legs. The figure moves with the air flow, so it seems that this is another dancer at the anniversary.

If such a dance battle is difficult to organize, let your guests at least lead a round dance in honor of the birthday boy.

Collage

This decoration is created from photographs of the birthday boy. You can simply attach them to the wall, but it’s better to be creative.

Photoshop will help you combine the face of the hero of the occasion with the body of any movie or cartoon character. If a children's party is planned, then the photo of the child is fixed on the poster as he grows older.

Jewelry "Frei Wille"

Frey Wille is an Austrian jewelry house that produces incredibly beautiful jewelry with designs made from multi-colored enamel. All products are made only from precious metals - gold, silver and platinum.

Such jewelry is considered true works of art. It sometimes takes several years to create one collection.

The women's line includes rings, bracelets, earrings and chains. The cost of the products is quite high.

A ring, for example, will cost 80 dollars or more, a bracelet – 100. But such a gift is definitely worth it. It will make the girl feel unique and inimitable.

Balloon characters

To realize your plan, you need a lot of balls of different shapes, colors and sizes. What you get in the end depends on your imagination and skills.

For a children's party, animal figurines, comic book and fairy tale characters are suitable. The product can be supplemented with paper parts.

Table decoration

The overall style of the cutlery, tablecloth and napkins will add joy to the overall atmosphere. Near each plate it is interesting to place a distinctive detail: a figurine, a twig, a personalized card, a gift for a guest.

When serving, the finished food can be decorated with tomato, cucumber or chocolate flowers, depending on the type of dish. Don't forget about fruits. Shaped and arranged, they will look even more appetizing.

Decor of individual table elements

When choosing options for how to decorate a room with your own hands for a wedding or birthday, we must not forget about the most important thing, decorating the festive table. Proper decoration will emphasize the atmosphere of the celebration and will delight the guests.

Holiday table decoration

Table decoration can become the central embodiment of the whole holiday idea.

The main thing is to take into account numerous nuances:

• the table, cutlery, napkins, chairs must be in the same style and match the decorations in the room;
• single figurines look beautiful, which can be placed in slight disorder on the table or at the plate of each guest (they must correspond to the style of the holiday);
• decorating dishes is very important; on the Internet you can find many photos of salads and hot dishes decorated with flowers and figures cut out from food products;
• in autumn, a fruit bowl cut from a whole watermelon looks very beautiful;
• cutlery can be tied with a napkin or a beautiful ribbon;
• if there will be a lot of guests, you can prepare name cards that will indicate where they will be accommodated;
• you can decorate plates using paper or drawings on the edges with a special gel; for a children's birthday, disposable bright dishes with your favorite cartoon characters would be an excellent solution.

Tablecloth decoration

The tablecloth determines the style of the entire table decoration.

She may be:

• elegant, festive (bought in a store or sewn yourself from organza, taffeta, tulle, satin);
• disposable, polyethylene (large selection in special stores, they differ in designs and quality);
• standard white, which can be decorated with a special runner (runner), which is laid in the center of the table;
• when creating a holiday in a rustic style, you can use an oilcloth tablecloth in a checkered pattern;
• unusual (for example, from paper, which children can color with felt-tip pens at their discretion right during the celebration).

Napkins also play an important role in decoration; they can be folded in different ways.

1 way:

• fold the canvas in half;
• connect the side corners to the top;
• fold the canvas so that the lower corner is 2-3 cm away from the upper corner;
• bend the top corner;
• bend the sides and insert them into each other.

Method 2:

• fold the napkin across;
• make an accordion out of the triangle, leaving the top free;
• fasten the top edge with an accordion;
• fold in half;
• secure with a ring.

3 way:

• fold the corners first on the back, then on the front side of the canvas;
• Holding the center of the napkin with the corners, remove the bottom corners so that they take the form of petals.

Chair decoration

When choosing an option on how to decorate a room for a birthday, it is important to decorate the chairs with your own hands.

There are several options here:

• decorate the backs of chairs using light fabrics (tulle or organza), matching the tablecloth and the surrounding environment;
• tie a balloon inflated with helium to each chair, in which you can place a piece of paper with the guest’s name or a small surprise;
• place colorful soft pillows on chairs;
• decorate the chairs with attributes in accordance with the holiday style (pirate sabers, princess crowns, space weapons).

Decorating a room for a party is an exciting activity that can bring no less pleasure than the celebration itself. In order for the result to amaze the guests, you need to arm yourself with imagination, bold ideas and put in a little effort.
