Dress Up Birthday Party Decorations

The colors can be influenced by your chosen dress up theme, but in general, use some gold, silver, and violet for the typical fun dress up party, or black and white if you want the more somber version.

Popular dress up elements should surround your party room. Different masks (super heroes, Halloween, Mardi Gras, etc), feather boa, wigs, hats, jewelries and other accessories should be displayed appropriately. 

Pictures of popular figures in the costume department (Santa Claus, super heroes, anime characters, clowns, Ronald McDonald, etc) should decorate your walls.

Though not exactly something that you hang out as decoration, commissioning a friend or two to dress up like a specific person can add a lot to the atmosphere you’re aiming for.

Another element that is not exactly decoration but will add to your ambiance is scent, which you can easily get by having the right flowers and/or scented candles in your party room.

For your centerpiece, sticking a mask (with a handle) in a vase is a good idea. A vase containing ostrich feathers (or other feathers, peacock feathers are also quite cool) or full of daisies or rose will also be a good alternative. Or better yet, combine those ideas and make your centerpiece way cooler.

You can leave your vase alone or you can choose to dress it up a bit. Using ribbons and beads should help you do the trick. If you think there’s nothing like candles to beautify a table, you can also choose to dress up a candle, in the same way that you plan to dress up your vase.

If you like fruits and feel that they are worthy centerpiece candidates, then a couple of dressed up apples – one decorated to “wear” a suit and another one “wearing” a dress will be fantastic. You can even replace apples with cupcakes and it will also work well.

To wrap up your decoration, you can just choose to have violet and orange balloons or black and white ones. Either will work well with what you have prepared so far.

Farm Animals Birthday Party Decorations

If you can find a good barn or farm to hold your party, then you won't have any problems with your decorations since you can have the right ambiance by just picking the right venue. If you cannot have your party in a barn, then decorating your party room with tons of browns and greens will be the next best thing.

You will also need lots of hays in your party room. Some tractor toys, stuff toys in shapes of cow, horse, pig, or sheep are very welcome. Some chicken stuff toys on top of some nests are really cute and are worth adding.

Decorating your ceiling with cut-outs of different farm tools like rake, shovel, and the like will do a lot to the atmosphere you're aiming for.

If you feel that you still need more wall decorations, we think that movie posters of Babe, Chicken Little and other movie star farm animals are also very fitting.

For your centerpiece, if you still have more farm animal stuff toys, you can place them in a basket and use a ribbon or two to decorate them and to tie them together.

Another great centerpiece idea which will work well with what you have prepared so far is a nest which should come with some egg-shaped candies. If you don't like the nest idea, you can also place those egg-shaped candies in a transparent jar or vase. That should make you a colorful and very pretty centerpiece indeed.

We have always loved edible centerpieces and we think that cupcakes designed to look like a farm animal (one cupcake can have a pig's snout, while another can have a cow print, etc) will be amazing. Just display them on a cake stand of some sort and you have a great centerpiece right there!

For balloons, there are tons of mylar balloons that come in the shape of your favorite farm animal. But if you want simpler balloons, then a white balloon with special cow prints will also do the trick. Or better yet, challenge your creative juices by just getting white balloons and decorating them yourself. We bet you will have tons of fun in your balloon decoration process and that will be priceless!

Halloween Birthday Party Decorations

Black and orange are the typical colors for any Halloween party and it will not be any different on your Halloween birthday.

We will leave it you whether to go for gory decorations, but if you prefer a Halloween party without the scary elements, then this means going for cute vampires and witches rather than Mr. Frankenstein.

Pretty-looking pumpkins, cute witch and warlocks on broomsticks, a cauldron, black cat stuff toys in all shapes and sizes, candies, and some cobwebs here and there are perfect for your Halloween decoration. You can even add posters of Casper, Corpse Bride and Addamms Family since they have the right non-gory Halloween touch that you prefer. And lastly, you might even want to add a fog machine to add to the atmosphere you're aiming for.

For your centerpiece, we think that candy corns in margarita glasses are worth considering and so are antique-looking candelabras (something that will not look out of place on a haunted house). We also love the idea of orange flowers in a mummy wine bottle, which is basically your wine bottle covered with white plaster. But if you really want a creative centerpiece, then a pumpkin candle holder might be more to your taste. The idea here is to remove the stem and enough part of the pumpkin so you can sit the candle there securely. Just add some flowers and such to cover imperfections, if any.

To wrap up your decoration, you can just choose to get some black, orange and/or white balloons to surround your party room. That should complement all the other decorations you have prepared so far.

Jungle Birthday Party Decorations

You should have lots of greens and browns in your party room. Some trees and vines here and there will not be amiss.

Since this is a jungle party, be sure to include some cute stuff toys on those trees. Some monkey stuff toys will be great additions!

If you have posters of Madagascar and other similar movies, this is the perfect time to bring them out since they're needed for your party decoration. Other nature posters will work as well.

For your centerpiece, if you have animal stuff toys, you can place them in a basket and use a ribbon or two to decorate them and to tie them together.

We absolutely love caramel apples as a centerpiece so we’re pitching that in. And to ensure that they fit just right on your jungle party, decorate each apple to have some spots to appear like a cheetah or a leopard or maybe some stripes of a tiger or a zebra. You can even replace the apples with cupcakes displayed in a cake stand of some sort and that will also work neatly with what you have prepared so far.

For balloons, you can either get some animal-shaped balloons or just get some ordinary-shaped ones that comes with special leopard, cheetah, zebra, or tiger prints. Now you’re ready for your wild jungle party!

Mexican Birthday Party Decorations

Bright colors should surround your party room so be sure to have orange, reds, yellows and lime green all over the place. Prepare some banners and make sure they come in these bright colors and hang them in your room.

If you have sombreros in all shapes, colors and sizes, it's time to bring them out. If you have posters that showcase some Spanish traditions (fiesta, bull fighting, Spanish movies, etc), you definitely want them to decorate your walls.

For your centerpiece, a sombrero full of flowers is a traditional centerpiece idea. A decorated cactus will also make a nice and easy table decoration and so is a scented candle floating in a margarita glass. But if you want a more unique centerpiece to decorate your tables, you can use a pair of maracas instead. You need to find a vase or a stand for it and voila, you have a unique, creative and very theme-based decoration right there.

You will want very colorful balloons in your Mexican party, but if you prefer balloons shaped like a cactus or a giant chili, those will definitely do a lot to the atmosphere you're aiming for.

Monkey Birthday Party Decorations

You should have lots of greens, browns and yellows in your party room. Some (banana) trees and vines here and there will not be amiss. Bananas in all shapes and sizes are also welcome.

Since this is a monkey party, be sure to include some cute stuff toys on those trees. Monkey stuff toys will be great additions!

Since monkeys are not really alone in the jungle, you can choose to include other jungle animals like giraffe, elephant and even some lions (cute version) if you so prefer.

If you have posters of Madagascar and other similar movies, this is the perfect time to bring them out since they're needed for your party decoration. Other nature posters will work as well. We also think that cute posters which says something like No Monkey Business or No Monkeying Around will also be cool.

For your centerpiece, we think that a monkey stuff toy tied to an old wine bottle will be a pretty table decoration. We will leave the decision of what flowers to put in your wine bottle, but we think any yellow flowers will be perfect.

We also think that yellow candies in a jar or shallow dish is worth considering as your centerpiece and will also serve as dessert for the kiddies on your party.

For balloons, you can either get some monkey-shaped balloons but if you want the ordinary variety, just make sure you get yellow and brown ones to make them perfect additions to what you have prepared so far. 

Moroccan Birthday Party Decorations

You can choose to have your party in a tent to add authenticity, but if you would rather have this in someone’s party room, then decorating the place with bright colors (orange, red, violet, and gold) and the right fabrics (silks, laces, and velvet) will also do the trick.

If you have carpets that have been collecting dust in your basement, it’s time to bring them out. You should also display any antique-looking stuff you have like exotic lamps, since they will add a lot to the atmosphere you’re aiming for. While you’re at it, bring out those throw-pillows that you have stored in your cabinets since we want many, big and brightly colored pillows on your amazing Moroccan party!

For your centerpiece, an aquarium-like bowl full of water with floating scented candles amidst strewn rose petals will be the best candidate. Some candles in your antique candleholders will also be a very fitting table decoration. But if you happen to love flowers and think that there’s nothing like a bunch of flowers to beautify any table, then you can stick them in any vase that you feel will work nicely with what you have prepared so far.

We always say that any party needs some balloons and that includes your Moroccan party. Anything in orange, violet, red or gold will be cool.

Last but not the least, though not exactly a decoration, we think that the right music can add a lot to your ambiance so there’s nothing like a collection of Moroccan music playing in the background to have everybody in the right mood for your Moroccan party.
