Party Decorations

It can be very easy to decorate a party venue, whether at home or a village hall.

The easiest way to decorate the venue is to use lots of balloons. These are cheap to buy and make a real difference to any venue.

It is also always a good idea to put some balloons outside the party venue in a highly visible place, to help people know where the party is!

If you do decide to decorate with balloons, you are better off tying the balloons together in bunches and hanging them on the walls, to give out to the children at the end of the party. If balloons are left on the ground at the very beginning of the party, the children tend go a bit mad with them and it can be extremely hard to calm them down again...even for an amazing children's entertainer!

You might also want to consider printing some 'old' pictures of the birthday child/children and fastening them to the doors/walls with blu-tack. It’s always funny for their friends to see what they were like when they were younger.

Another nice idea is to have a BIG birthday card, that the guests can all write in as they arrive at the party. Think of it as a kid-sized guest book!
