March 7, 2008 — Wendy Moyle
One thing that’s sure to happen at your birthday party is eating. For a birthday party, the table can be a great decorating focal point. ShindigZ has tons of products perfect for serving up your pizza, snacks, cake or other birthday treats in style!
If you have a themed party check out the wide selection of party kit-n-kaboodles that include tons of tableware items and decorations. There’s also tableware to fit tons of theme parties. Check out our theme party tips for more ideas.
You can create a look all your own using plastic tableware. Coordinate plates, cups and cutlery in your own color scheme. For example, choose a neutral or light color such as white, light pink or silver and combine it with a bright color like pink, blue, or purple. This is a great way to keep things simple and personalize them to your guest of honor.
Add some personalized napkins to make your tables really special. You can personalize napkins with a logo and your own wording. They’re available styles such as dmbossed, metallic and monogrammed. They make great keepsakes for scrapbooks too.
Cover your tables to coordinate with your tableware using plastic or paper table covers and sprinkle them with confetti. There’s confetti styles to fit many themes or you can choose classic stand-bys like stars and swirls confetti or heart shaped confetti. You can’t overestimate the appeal of this simple party decoration.
To save money and resources, try Etch-It Party Cups. Guests can use the etch-it panel to add their names to their cups so cups don’t get lost or wasted during your party.
Don’t forget balloons! You can make a simple, fun centerpiece using a balloon weight, curling ribbon and some latex balloons. Inflate balloons in colors to coordinate with your decorations or tableware with helium and attach them with curling ribbon to the balloon weight. Be sure to keep the ribbon short so the balloons hover above the table but still look like part of the table décor.
There’s also a wide variety of themed centerpieces. Check out our theme party tips for ideas.
With simple but festive table decorations your party food won’t just taste good, it will look good too!
