Every little one is waiting for their “jam day” with impatience and anticipation of a fairy tale.
Of course, a mother is far from a fairy, but it is within her power to provide her child with maximum joyful impressions. And first of all (after gifts, of course), this concerns the festive atmosphere at the table. We’ll talk about the right approach to preparing a holiday. The best ideas for your attention!
13 ideas on how to decorate a child’s room for a birthday with your own hands
Choose a design style!
Perhaps this is the primary task.
And it doesn’t matter at all how deep your wallet is. All you need is the baby’s wishes and their implementation with the help of your rich imagination and skillful hands.
Of course, it’s better to focus not on your preferences, but on your children’s preferences.
What does he love most?
- Holiday in the style of "Harry Potter". We decorate the room and table according to the film - with surprises, envelopes, black cloaks, magic wands and a hat, of course.
Or…
- Celebration in the style of "Pirates". For this option, the table can be decorated like a pirate ship, guests can be asked to come in costumes, decanters of “rum” (dark juice) can be placed, “treasures” can be hidden on the table, etc.
You can also choose the style of “Minions”, “Smesharikov”, “Alice in Wonderland”, etc.

Select shades and outfits according to the style of the holiday, add the necessary thematic details to the table and be sure to think through the holiday scenario - let the children have fun!
Themed decor for a children's room
Every child, regardless of age, has favorite characters from films, cartoons or books. Believe me, everyone dreams of being at least a little like their favorite. Therefore, we propose to create a real fairy tale that will definitely be remembered for a lifetime.
Beautiful princess
Little girls most often love to watch cartoons about fairy-tale princesses in beautiful outfits. Agree, this is a great idea for a holiday. To create a real princess room, you will have to work hard.
You can hang a beautiful poster with an image from your favorite cartoon on the wall, and install balloon structures on the sides that will resemble a castle. In another area of the room, be sure to place a table with beautiful sweets. For example, cakes in the shape of flowers and a cake in the shape of a crown.
And be sure to prepare a beautiful dress that your princess will wear early in the morning.
Mickey Mouse
A cartoon character that has not gone out of fashion for a very long time is Mickey Mouse. Both boys and girls adore him. Therefore, the decor of a room in this style can definitely be called universal.
The basis of the Mickey style decor is polka dots and bows. As a background for a photo, you can use a tablecloth or just a fabric with a polka dot print. The garland, balls and pompoms should also be in the same color scheme.
Try to make sure that every detail of your decor is related to the famous cartoon. For example, order Mickey cakes. Print the same labels for your drink cups. No matter how difficult it may be, in return you will receive the most sincere gratitude in the form of happiness in the eyes of your child.
Dangerous pirate
If your child is crazy about cartoons about treasures, treasure hunts and dangerous pirates, then we suggest organizing a real quest.
First you need to make a photo zone from striped fabric. The helm, anchor and other attributes will be an excellent addition. If you have large flowers in pots at home, be sure to put them in the children's room as decoration. And, of course, prepare bandanas with skulls, headbands, toy swords and other accessories for the birthday boy and his friends.
But the most important thing is the treasure and various riddles with clues that will be hidden throughout the room and beyond. Believe me, such a birthday will definitely be remembered by everyone who attends it.
In the style of Harry Potter
It is simply impossible to find a child who does not know Harry Potter now. His unusual adventures attract many children, and if your child is just as crazy about this character, then we suggest decorating the room in this style.
To begin, hang curtains around the room that will resemble curtains in ancient castles. And don't forget about the famous platform, because it especially attracts kids. Wrap gift boxes in postage paper and tie with twine. The main thing is to arrange them together with thick books.
To create the atmosphere of the famous film, be sure to place a toy owl, unusual candlesticks and cages in the room, and also decorate the corners with artificial cobwebs. And the last thing you need to do is turn on music that will create a feeling of real adventure.
Holiday shades – choose the 3 most important colors!
Having decided on the style, focus on the 3 main colors of the chosen holiday theme.
Video: Decorating the hall and table for a children's birthday
If these are minions, then your colors are yellow, blue, white. Use them to decorate the table, room, and details (from straws and glasses to napkins, etc.).
Balloons
Balloons will perfectly decorate the room and create a festive atmosphere at a children's birthday! In addition, balloons can be used as packaging for surprises and gifts.
These constant companions of the holiday can be used as follows:
- Inflate 40-50 balloons with helium and release them to the ceiling.
- Inflate a 40-50 balloon with air and “hide” it in a net under the ceiling (release it “into the wild” after a festive dinner).
- Inflate the balloons with helium and tie one to the chair of each guest.
- Inflate the balloons with helium and tie them to personal surprise boxes for guests, placing the latter directly on the table near the cutlery.
- Make surprise balloons (note - fill them with candies and confetti and inflate them with helium).

Key principles
There are several simple principles for proper holiday decor.
Focus on the child's age
For small children, it is better to stick to light pastel shades that are not irritating to the eyes, and simple themes without unnecessary sophistication and sophistication.
The baby will love the unusual transparent balls
Older children will like thematic designs in the spirit of their favorite cartoons, fairy tales or computer games. Don't hold back your imagination, use the brightest colors and embody your wildest ideas.
Decorating a children's table based on Winnie the Pooh
With teenagers, on the contrary, you need to be careful in your ideas. This category of birthday people will not want to seem like kids to guests, and birthday decorations should be more restrained. Limit yourself to just beautiful balls and classic decorations. For a themed party, sports, music and movie themes are acceptable.
Divide the room into zones
Concentrate the main decor in the dining table area, where the children will spend a significant part of the entire celebration.
An example of festive table decoration
Leave enough free space in the second zone, which will become a playground for the hero of the occasion and his friends. Remove all unnecessary items from here, use a play hut and lots of pillows as decorative elements.
Another great idea is to organize a special photo zone. So this holiday will remain not only in your hearts, but also on wonderful photo cards.
Involve your child in the design
A surprise is, of course, wonderful, but older children will be very interested in taking part in the decoration of the holiday themselves, feeling like a full owner of the holiday and the organizer of the special event.
Children are happy to participate in decorating the room for the holiday
An alternative option is to decorate the room only partially, making a surprise for the child, and then begin the remaining decor together with the child.
Lighting above the festive table - decorate the chandelier!
There should be a lot of light at a children's party! This is not a party for lovers or a romantic twilight at a school disco. Therefore, there is more light!
If you have a large chandelier, everything is simple: we decorate it in a holiday style. For example, if these are minions, then the chandelier can be decorated with a serpentine in the colors of the “theme” or attached to it are printed and cut out minions, going down “to the table” along ribbons or the same serpentine.
If there is no lamp, you can use separate lamps (the circuit remains the same).
Tablecloth or oilcloth?
Usually mothers choose the practicality of oilcloth. Children don’t know how to eat carefully, and, of course, it’s simply a pity to get a snow-white “New Year’s” tablecloth for a children’s party.
How to be? What are the options?
- A piece of fabric in the colors of the holiday and a small “overhang” of organza or taffeta “in a hurry” if you have a sewing machine. If you don't have one, you can use a stapler or even a glue web.
- A disposable tablecloth chosen according to the theme of the holiday (you can look for them in “all things for the holidays” stores).
- A plain old white tablecloth (which you don't mind), but creatively decorated. For example, with an elegant themed runner (note: table runner) and a decoration of garlands around the perimeter. The runner can be purchased and placed on top of the tablecloth. Or from fabric, beautifully gathered on the sides of the table and hooked with paper flowers (ships, minions, etc.) according to the principle of pintucks for curtains.
- Bright oilcloth with a thematic image.
- Paper tablecloth! Not a bad option for a children's party. You can draw on such a tablecloth without fear that your mother will be upset. If you choose this option, don’t forget to provide each guest with a glass of markers.

And remember: the main requirement is the color scheme!
Decorating a 1 year old baby's room
Perhaps the most important and responsible day for parents is the baby’s first birthday. Most often, the one-year anniversary is celebrated in the form of a home feast, so family and friends will definitely come to visit with gifts.
In the process of decorating a children's room and apartment, you should adhere to the following rules to make the holiday fun and safe:
- the electric garland is attached high enough so that children and animals cannot reach it;
- It is best to buy decorations in large sizes, so that guests can already notice from the door how elegant and unusual the room looks;
- balls, paper decorations and other decor are selected from high-quality materials;
- You can make most of the decorations yourself, and use the remaining money to buy treats for the table.
The first anniversary will definitely be a success if you approach the decorating process with soul.
Pom-pom balls
A safe and at the same time beautiful decoration option would be pom-pom balls, which can be attached to the ceiling of the nursery. It is best to choose them in bright colors that match the colors of the holiday. Balls are easy to buy in a store or make yourself from fabric, corrugated paper and ribbons. The main advantage of paper decorations is that they look as beautiful and airy as possible. Guests and small children will feel as if the balls are floating above the room.
Paper roses
For your baby's first anniversary, you can buy paper roses. Paper flowers are a beautiful and safe decoration option for small children. Making roses yourself is not difficult if you stock up on corrugated paper and wire. The decoration can beautifully hang from the ceiling or become an organic addition to the holiday table. With the help of large roses, you can decorate the baby’s throne, on which he will sit with his parents.
Volumetric figure made of cardboard and corrugated paper
A home holiday would not be complete without the main attribute of the first birthday – the number 1. You can make the decoration yourself or buy it in a store with holiday decor. It is the one-piece that will stand at the head of the entire exhibition and will become an excellent backdrop for photo sessions. You can make decor using cardboard, ribbons, paper flowers or corrugated paper.
The photo confirms that a corrugated paper figure is an ideal decoration option for a photo shoot.
Fairy lights
It will not be difficult to create a festive atmosphere for the holiday using decor in the form of garlands. With their help you can decorate the ceiling, walls, curtains and arches. Products must be selected in one color or choose multi-colored options, where each detail will be made in a different shade.
It’s very easy to decorate your room yourself using garlands of tassels. A narrow strip is cut out of corrugated paper, which should be twice the size of the brush. Simply fold it in half and cut it to form a fringe. Each tassel is attached to a common thread.
Swing umbrellas
A children's party would not be complete without this seemingly simple, but very unusual decoration. Umbrellas can be hung on the wall, creating an unusual composition for photo shoots. It’s not difficult to make this original decoration yourself; each umbrella is most often made in a different color. Before making it, you should prepare scrapbooking paper, a glue gun, a stapler and napkins.
Step-by-step process for creating a pinwheel umbrella:
- The sheets are folded like a fan.
- The paper is folded in half, and its edges are fastened with a stapler.
- Three fans are alternately connected using a stapler.
Such a budget decoration will look no worse than others at a holiday.
3D stars
3D figures will beautifully complement your child's first significant event. With the help of voluminous stars you can decorate a wall and create an unusual photo zone. They can beautifully fall from the ceiling and delight kids with their large size.
You can make your own stars from colored cardboard or paper. To make the decoration you will need glue, scissors and a pencil.
Balloons
A small child will be delighted when he sees a large number of balloons at his party. Kids love to play with inflatable decorations. In this case, you won’t be able to decorate the room for a child’s 1st birthday with your own hands. It is best to order ready-made balloon arches from the store or decorate the ceiling with helium products. The inflatable number 1 will look original.
Table setting - what to put the treats in and how to decorate the dishes?
What kind of dishes are needed for a children's holiday table?
First of all - glasses and plates, cutlery, vases for fruits and sweets, dishes for a cake.
What can you do (in a themed style, of course) with your own hands?
- Fruit vases made from… fruits. The ideal option (if it’s summer) is a watermelon vase. There are many schemes for making such a “vase” on the Internet. Or mini-vases of oranges (for grapes, for example - in portions).
- Spoons and forks. They can be decorated with ribbons tied to the handles. Or wrap it beautifully in a napkin and tie it with a bow. You can also thread the devices through pre-prepared thematic pictures.
- The choice of plates is up to the mother - broken ones from the sideboard or cardboard and bright ones from the store. The second ones, of course, are more practical (they don’t break and don’t need to be washed). It is extremely difficult to decorate the plates (after all, you will have to eat from them), but you can decorate them with napkins folded into fancy shapes, “scrolls” with wishes for each guest or a festive program, etc.

Interesting ideas for decorating a children's party
In order to beautifully decorate a room for a fun holiday, it is not necessary to purchase something new and expensive. It is quite possible to make a magnificent design from the available materials in your home.
Surely, the child has a lot of toys. Collect them all together and group them according to a single characteristic. For example, make a fairy forest from animal toys, make paper trees or crafts.
For an older child, you can put together a collage from his photographs. Select photographs from birth to the present day, stick them on a large one, sign them and hang the collage on the wall. Children will enjoy looking at the photographs and reading the funny captions.
If the size of the room allows you to build a pool of bright, cheerful, soft balls. When the kids finish eating, they can have fun playing and frolicking in this pool. This will make the children's party more fun.
Multi-colored hats will decorate the festive table and lift your spirits. They can later be given to guests to wear and enjoy.
Build a tree of miracles with sweet surprises. You will need a dry branch of a beautiful shape, which will need to be pre-cleaned, varnished and painted. When the branch is dry, you can place it in a vase or pot. Hang a surprise in a paper or fabric bag on each small branch. A child of middle preschool age will especially like this decoration.
Inflatable toys in the form of various cartoon characters can be placed in the room of small children. The delight of the little traitor and his guests will know no bounds!
Furniture, walls, and ceilings should be decorated with paper garlands made of colored paper. This will create a festive mood and decorate the appearance of the room. In addition, you can make a garland of flags and postcards.
Candles in the shape of figures of fairy-tale animals will fit well into the atmosphere of a children's party. They can be placed on shelves and tables. But you should be careful and take fire precautions.
Determine the place where you will put all the gifts, but this is if a lot of people are invited to the holiday. Opening gifts can be a fun ending to a baby shower.
Menu for a children's table - how to beautifully decorate dishes?
A children's holiday is, first of all, a celebration of the belly! It is precisely to “fill your belly” (and then have fun) that friends come to such events.
But recipes for children's holiday dishes are a separate issue.
And at this point we will remember exactly how you can decorate dishes, how to serve them , and what not to forget.
- What should be on the table? Required - sweets and cake, children's drinks, hearty dishes, fruit.
- How to apply? There are a lot of tips on the Internet for decorating children’s dishes, so we won’t focus on the scheme for making them. The main task is to present each dish in such a way that children not only eat it, but also greet it with delight.
- How to serve fruit? Firstly, don’t forget the advice about vases of watermelons and oranges. Secondly, we study “fruit carving” (educational and impressive). Thirdly, you can simply arrange the sliced fruits on the vase in an original way so that the resulting composition is close to the theme of the holiday.
- How to serve main courses (nutritious)? It all depends on the theme and mother’s imagination. You can serve them on plates and in vases, or in tartlets or on skewers. In the form of canapés or kebabs. And also in boxes personally for everyone.
- Remember yourself as a child! It’s unlikely that you wanted to fuss with chicken legs or chew numerous incomprehensible salads. Children love to eat quickly, fun and tasty. Start from this. And don’t forget about multi-colored jellies - kids adore them without exception. Just choose original serving options, not primitive glasses and bowls. By the way, you can also make ice cream yourself, stuffing it with little surprises (nuts, gummies, etc.).
Video: Ideas for decorating dishes for a children's birthday
Here is my photo selection, which I hope will be a source of ideas for you:
Sandwiches
There are many examples of fantastically decorated sandwiches on the Internet, but... Let's be realistic . Not all mothers have high knife skills, and, as a rule, they have very little time. Here you would have time to prepare the main dishes, but you don’t always get around to decorating. I chose the simplest options possible, and they require patience, skill and creative energy.
Here are some sausage and cheese fantasies with vegetable twists.
Sandwich bread can be shaped using cookie cutters!
For the lion cub's mane, choose “marbled” cheese
These are already 3D sandwiches. A corner is immediately cut out of the bread. Phone buttons can be peas, corn and pieces of olives.
Bees deserve special attention. Alternate rings of green olives and pitted black olives, stringing them onto blocks of hard cheese
Canapes
Tiny sandwiches and figures made of eggs and vegetables. How the hand of a craftswoman combined large black olives and mozzarella cheese, resulting in very pretty penguins, is a mystery to me. Maybe you can do it?
Lion cubs: Under a bright layer of carrots there is grated cheese with mayonnaise and garlic.
Figures
This, in my opinion, is the most difficult “food art” (I literally translate from English “food art” - decorating dishes). Some figures remind me of a 3D construction set (a bull made from a bell pepper and a cat made from a tomato). What can I say... Add it up!
Tomato variations
Cars, a crocodile, palm trees and a frog are built using toothpicks
These figures are simpler. The crocodile turned out to be charming, you must agree! One of these is enough to decorate a salad. I don’t know how compatible pear and cucumber are, but these are the products that make up the frog. A bouquet of tulip tomatoes stuffed with cheese could also decorate an adult holiday. The stems and leaves are from green onions.
I like these little mice in big cheese holes!
Decorating salads and side dishes
A pile of rice offered to guests as a treat can turn into a penguin (plus olives, plus carrots). And rice itself, processed with wet hands, becomes a pliable sculptural material. How do you like the sleeping bear and kitten (paws made from pieces of cheese, black parts - dry sheets of seaweed for making sushi)?
Two wonderful fish! It’s quite easy to give the salad a shape, but you’ll need to work hard on the scales...
Ladybug in a flower meadow will decorate any mayonnaise salad
Goldfish made from boiled carrots among seaweed and olive stones
Do not put pickled cucumbers in Olivier salad, but rather decorate the salad with them on top. I love this magical snake with a crown!
I would give this cat the People's Choice Award! We cut out the black parts from sheets of nori. Lapki - dense feta cheese or hard cheese.
The cute Red cat is made using “strokes” from finely chopped olives, the gnome is made from whites, yolks, cherry tomatoes and grated beets; mice with cheese ears decorate Mimosa, and a sunflower bloomed from chips.
I thought the pineapple with walnuts was cute, and the bunny with carrots could be made by a child himself!
Fruit desserts
Amateur photographs from an amateur feast. But it's also cute.
Bananas from which you build palm trees must be sprinkled with lemon, otherwise they will darken
Thanks to whoever came up with this Christmas tree made from an apple and a carrot. We stick toothpicks into the “trunk”, string berries and pieces of fruit. Beauty!
And this is a hedgehog made from pears and grapes. Well, how can you refuse such a treat! Once you've peeled part of the pear, keep it in a bowl of water and lemon juice, otherwise it will turn brown quickly!
Dear mothers! Keep the page bookmarked so that on the happiest day of the year (and this is your child’s birthday) you can easily find this source of inspiration.
To decorate the table, there are magnificent sets of disposable tableware and room decorations, selected in the same style.
Let's decorate the chairs!
Well, don’t leave them in their usual form for a children’s party, really.
And, it seems, well, chairs and chairs - whatever you can think of! But no.
There are options!
- Drapery.
- Light decor with fabrics, organza, bows.
- A tied balloon with a surprise.
- Thematic attributes on the chairs.
- Pillows in the “tone” of the holiday.
Believe me, your child will be delighted! No detail should be left unattended.
Decoration with balls
It’s hard to imagine a holiday without balloons; if previously they were simply presented to the birthday person as a gift, today they can decorate a room in a variety of ways:
- Table decoration: using small boxes with weights, which can be placed near each guest’s plate and balloons inflated with helium can be tied to them.
- Make large figures in the form of cartoon characters, funny characters and just baskets with flowers from balloons. The process is not at all complicated, and such a figure will delight you for a single week.
- You can make numbers from the balloons (of the denomination of how old the birthday boy is).
- To decorate a large room, they create panels and arches that have a strong frame underneath them; they look especially good at celebrating an anniversary.
- You can order balloons with photo printing from a special agency, depicting the birthday person or memorable dates on them.
- A great idea would be to fill a huge balloon with hundreds of small ones, each of which can be filled with a surprise: at the height of the celebration, the large balloon bursts and the guests are showered with a heap of balloons and gifts.
- After inflating the balloons with helium, you can tie them to a heavy base (for example, small soft toys) and place them around the perimeter of the room.
- To surprise your guests, you can inflate a lot of balloons of different sizes and place them under the ceiling, first stretching a fabric hammock. At the climax, the hammock is removed and a rain of balloons covers the guests.
- Helium balloons look very elegant; they cover the entire ceiling; the ribbons from them can be wrapped like a serpentine and left hanging down.
- An excellent option for a holiday in the evening would be to decorate the room with balls that glow due to the diodes inside them.

Memorable gifts for the child's guests
An extremely important point to think about in advance. It is clear that the holiday is not for the guests, but for the birthday person - but given that your guests are children, you need to follow traditions.
That is, no one should be left without a gift. At least a tiny one. For example, packages of sweets and small toys. Or a kinder surprise and a pack of marmalades. Or a mini Lego set.
Or themed gifts: for example, magic wands for the Harry Potter team.
What are the options?
- Hide the gifts in balloons, fill them with helium, and tie them to chairs.
- Hide the gifts in beautiful chest boxes and place them near the plate for each guest.
- Fill one large ball with gifts and hang it from the ceiling.
Presents for everyone
Children love unexpected “pleasures,” so when creating your masterpiece table, hide a few surprises among the cutlery and decorations.
We offer some interesting ideas:
- Place a small gift under the plate for each person. For example, a thematic bookmark in a book, a notebook with your favorite characters on the cover, a postcard or a disk with a new cartoon. There is no point in talking about gifts in advance; children will certainly discover them themselves, even if this happens when changing cutlery before tea.
- The dishes that are served at the table may contain “secrets”. Children usually really like edible decorations: for example, sweets made from mastic or frozen liquid chocolate.
- Something can be hidden by telling the children that whoever finds it will be a rare lucky one and good luck will definitely smile on him. As a future find, you can take a large white bean. It’s even better to hide several different “secrets” that “bestow” all sorts of “benefits”. In a berry dessert, among the sweet strawberries, several currants may be “hidden”; whoever finds and eats them can be the first to start some kind of competition.
- A surprise for children will certainly be the absence of knives, forks and spoons at the set table. There is nothing to eat, only your hands remain, although they are clean, but still! Invite the children to find or win in a competition the missing devices.
Napkins for the festive table - do we buy them or make them ourselves?
Of course, you can’t do without napkins. And, of course, it’s cheaper and easier to buy some napkins and just put one under each guest’s plate.
But if you have the time and desire, and your hands are in place, then you can use the following options:
- Ordinary paper napkins, but folded into intricate shapes.
- Fabric napkins in the color of the overall holiday style. You can roll them into bunnies, shirts, ice cream, etc.
- Fabric napkins with light embroidery, in keeping with the overall theme. This is a good option if you have an embroidery machine and experience.

Paper children's birthday decoration
Decorate your child's room with paper crafts:
- stretch marks
- fan circles
- honeycomb balls
- flowers
Paper stretcher. Winds made of paper.
Fan circles made of paper.
Paper napkin flower.
Additional elements of the festive table
Just a table with dishes is boring. Even if the dish is originally decorated. Therefore, we use various “tricks” and enliven our table. Here everything depends only on your imagination.
Examples to get you started:
- Skittles or M&M's scattered between utensils.
- A vase of flowers made from inflatable long balloons (involve a specialist in creating a bouquet if you don’t have the skills).
- Mini bouquets of lollipops.
- Etc.

Use numbers
Every birthday is a special and unique holiday! Use numbers to decorate your birthday room. Of course, you shouldn’t do too many reminders - choose one or two ideas you like and bring them to life. This is just the perfect anniversary decor
, and this wonderful idea has another pleasant side: such a festive number-decor will serve as an excellent backdrop for photographs for a long memory!
For many years, hand-made voluminous figures, also called piñatas, have been popular. As a toy, they have not caught on very well, but are actively used as holiday decor and photo zones. The manufacturing principle is the same: a frame-figure, usually made of cardboard or polystyrene foam, is covered with decor - corrugated paper (using different techniques), paper flowers are glued (from napkins), covered with fabric or yarn - there are a huge number of ways! The simplest (and fastest) ways to decorate a three-dimensional number is to cover it with a fringe of corrugated paper or cover it with fabric. The most labor-intensive ones are gluing using the trimming technique and decorating with small flowers (roses). |
Along with three-dimensional numbers, they also decorate with flat numbers. They are convenient to hang on the wall or mount on the wall; you can create a phrase (for example, a name). Manufacturing method: a cardboard figure of numbers or letters is decorated with corrugated paper, flowers made from napkins, etc. |
Of course, balloon figures also do not lose their popularity - they are always in fashion! True, most often the figure needs to be ordered, because... without experience it is quite difficult to repeat the first time. But nothing is impossible if you really want it! |
Decor of glasses, bottles with drinks, etc.
Cardboard glasses are boring. Plastic too.
If the kids are old enough to use glassware, you can take glasses from the sideboard.
If you are afraid for your service, then we take glasses made of transparent plastic (not the cheap ones that you pour coffee into at kiosks, but hard plastic, especially for holidays) and decorate them according to the “theme” of the event. We decorate the edges of the glasses with sweet powder and add decorative umbrellas.
We also disguise boxes of juices and bottles of lemonade with original themed decor.

Dishes
If children are already grown up and know how to handle breakable objects, then you can put on the table a regular set that matches the color scheme. But if you are inviting children about three years old, then it is better to protect them and set the table with plastic or disposable tableware. Today on sale there are many options for cute sets made of plastic, colored disposable tableware, laminated cardboard plates and glasses with various designs and patterns. Such dishes can be matched to the overall style of the holiday and the kids won’t break them. And if you choose disposable tableware, you will get another bonus - you won’t have to wash it after the holiday.
Another option is metal utensils. But not those vintage bowls and mugs, go for a more modern option. The kids will love these dishes, because they don’t have them at home. And if you are planning a party in a pirate style, then metal dishes will be very appropriate.
"Boarding" name plates
They will be a great addition to the holiday table as a whole. In addition, the birthday person must choose who and where to imprison.
And don’t forget to properly design the signs themselves:
- "Golden" cards with names.
- "Tickets" for a pirate ship.
- Creative cards-plates with your child’s “design”.
Well, the last recommendation: start preparing for the holiday ahead of time! Of course, it is simply impossible to carry out full preparation in 1 evening.
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 onto 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.
