BIRTHDAY DECORATION AND RETURN GIFT IDEAS "

No birthday party can be complete without birthday decorations. After all these birthday decorations make a party livelier and help in giving a good look to the party. The birthday decorations may vary for the birthday parties of different age groups.

When planning balloon decorations, I find it's easier to come up with the theme and colors first, decide on how the cake will be decorated - if a cake is involved - and then choose balloon colors based on the theme and the cake.

How to Make Cute Balloon Flower Decorations :

In the video above, there's not a lot of verbal instruction, but the demonstration is so easy to follow and the result is stunning. Once you have the hang of it, you can make these flowers in just a few minutes. Because of their size, you'd need only a few to make a great backdrop balloon decorations for a little girl's birthday party.

How to make a balloon cloud :

Groupings of Balloon Clouds (Three to Five) look fantastic above a table top, over a stage area or buffet table. Cloud displays can be made in 3, 4 or 5 clusters of balloon clouds, in an extensive range of balloon colors. Add table decor bows, ribbon or tulle swags and tiny hanging balloon bunches in matching colors.

Low Cost Birthday Decoration Tips :

The truth of the matter is that anyone can come up with a great idea for a birthday party and pull it off on a reasonable budget. With so many types, kinds and styles of birthday decorations to choose from, the budget conscious shopper is sure to find fitting decorations at prices that fit into his/her budget. Just remember that it does not have to cost a lot for it to look good, and with the right combination of colors and creativity a birthday party decorated on a budget can be equally impressive.

The first thing you should think of is what theme you’re going for, and theme does not mean trying to make Disney World in your back yard. A birthday party theme can be as simple as ‘Under the sea’ or ‘In the woods’, but the importance of having a theme for budget conscious shoppers is that your theme will tell you exactly what you need, how much of it you will need and what colors, style and types of decorations to go for.

So for instance, if you decide to go with a theme like ‘Under the sea’, you can look for decorations that are blue or blue-green. Different sizes of balloons in these colors will not only make excellent archways but can also give the effect of bubbles. Another inexpensive but incredibly useful decoration for birthday parties are streamers, and since many of them are made out of crepe paper, you can get streamers in any color or combination of colors. Various types of candy can be used as sea treasures as well as shells and iridescent aquarium stones can make beautiful table ornaments.

And to top off a wonderful time under the sea, you can bid your guests good-bye and well wishes with party bags, using the sea animal,shells, stones and especially candy as party parting favors.
