~ Easy Kid Party Decorations ~ GREETING SIGN A greeting sign in your front yard or on your door is a nice way to welcome
party guests. Match it to the party theme and colors. For a construction party write "Caution:
Work Zone" in black on a yellow background. For a luau party, draw orange, yellow and pink
leis around the word "Aloha". A western party sign could say "Welcome to the O.K. Corral". BALLOONS Balloons are a must for every kids party. They are cheap, colorful, and every kid
loves them! Choose the balloon color to complement your party theme. For example, two
shades of green for a jungle party, orange and black for a Halloween party, yellow and orange for
a construction party, and so on.
Assorted helium-filled balloons can be bunched and anchored in the middle of the party table as
a centerpiece, or attached from the light fixture in the center of the room. I always get a special
birthday mylar which relates to the party theme and tie it to the birthday child's chair. A balloon arch is an impressive way to direct guests to the party area. Simply attach helium-filled balloons to a ribbon about every 12 inches and secure it to the ground on either side of your
doorway. Remember to attach a few balloons to your mailbox to show guests where the party is.
Be sure you have enough balloons to give one to each party guest as they leave. CREPE PAPER Quick and easy kid party decorations start with a few rolls of colorful crepe paper. Tie four to six pieces
from the center light fixture in the room extending to the corners and walls. Twist as you go and
secure with masking tape or rubber cement, both of which are easily removed after the party is
over. For an extra fancy effect, twist two different colors of crepe together. Attach a couple of
balloons over the crepe paper ends to cover any tape or glue. Hang crepe paper strips in doorways similar to the 60's beaded look. Alternate colors for more
visual interest. Balloons and crepe paper alone are enough to give your party area a fun and
festive atmosphere. TABLE DECORATIONS Personalize your party table with some homemade embellishments.
Start with a tablecloth designed by the party child. Cut a length of butcher paper and let him or
her decorate it with colorful markers, crayons, pictures cut from magazines, construction paper
shapes - let the imagination run wild! Then, sandwich your child's creation between a colored
plastic tablecloth and a clear one, so it can be appreciated by all, yet protected from spills. Use one or more of your child's toys relating to the party theme as a centerpiece. For example, a
large teddy bear for a teddy bear picnic party, a grouping of Barbies for a dolly party, a cowboy
hat for a western party - you get the idea. You can even anchor a balloon bouquet to your unique
centerpiece to make the best of kid party decorations.
Curl several lengths of curling ribbon and lay on the table surrounding your centerpiece. Add a
few sprinkles of party confetti it even comes in different themes to complete the effect.
COSTUMES You may not think of costumes as kid party decorations, but they are! They just happen to
be adorning people, not walls or tables! It's fun for the party hosts and party child to dress with
the party theme, even if it's just a hat, funny glasses, or themed T-Shirt. This conveys a playful
mood to get your party going in a festive spirit.
If you plan your theme several months ahead, you can anticipate your needs and take advantage
of sales and discounts to keep the cost of decorations down. Keep a storage container of kid party
decorations you see on close-out throughout the year.
