Decorations for the birthday party – inspiration for decorating the hall

Wondering what decorations to choose for your birthday party? We’ve put together 3 tips to help you create a beautiful and cohesive hall decoration! Get inspired!
A baby’s first birthday is always a huge experience for the whole family! Your beloved little one has already been with you for 12 months and has just stopped being a baby. Whether you’re organising a lavish birthday party that resembles a wedding reception or an intimate celebration for the immediate family, you’re probably keen to prepare pretty birthday decorations.

A beautiful setting for a baby’s first birthday party is very important – a beautifully decorated room will delight the guests and the little birthday boy, in addition to providing a wonderful backdrop for photos, which you will certainly want to take plenty of on the day! Here’s how to create pretty decorations for a girl’s or boy’s birthday party.
How to choose decorations for a birthday party
Choosing decorations for your child’s first birthday seems like a huge challenge to you? We’ve put together 3 tips to make your decision easier and help you create a nice, cohesive decoration:
- Firstly, choose a party theme colour. The most common choice is blue for a boy and bright pink for a girl (of course, this is not the only option!). The colour consistency of the chosen goodies will allow you to create a beautiful decoration. Of course, the theme colours can be several (you can prepare a birthday party with a rainbow theme) – the key is to repeat them in large decorations and a variety of decorative details.
- You can also choose a party theme, e.g. a character from a favourite book, a favourite animal, a vehicle, etc. A good party theme is of course also…. the number ‘1’, which should appear in several places on your child’s first birthday.
- Personalised birthday decorations are also definitely worthwhile, e.g. various gadgets printed with the child’s photo or name. This could be a large decoration – a photo frame, a garland with photos of the baby, as well as sweets or photo magnets handed out to thank the guests. It’s worth getting involved in creating a nice personalised decoration for your child’s first birthday – it will be a great keepsake in the future!
How to decorate rooms for a birthday party
The theme colour of the party
The most common decoration colours chosen for a child’s first birthday party are pink and blue. To decorate the hall at a low cost, reach for inexpensive decoration accessories. Colourful balloons and decorative fabrics, such as tulle and organza, which can be used to decorate, for example, windows, table and chairs, are ideal for this task.

Decorative fabric bags are also worth looking out for. They are inexpensive and can be used during the party in surprisingly many ways. Among other things, they can be used as thank-you packages for guests, decorative cutlery cases and covers for vases or bottles.


The theme colour should appear both on the large decoration elements, such as balloons, and on the details. Even the snacks set on the table can complement the party decorations wonderfully! Details can make all the difference.


The guiding colours for a birthday party are of course not just pink and blue! You can choose pretty much any colour you like (or several co-ordinating shades). There is, however, one rather important point worth mentioning. When preparing the decoration of the hall, it is certainly worth taking into account its fixed design elements. Most often, such venues have a neutral colour scheme, which allows you to choose any theme colour of your reception. However, it may happen that an intense colour has been used in the decor of the hall, which will look unfavourable with the shade you want to use for the decoration.


Fun theme
By the age of 12 months, some children already show certain interests. If your little one already has a clear preference and you have noticed that he or she loves, for example, cats, tractors or a particular character from children’s books consider organising a party with your child’s favourite theme.

The little one will certainly be delighted! To create a cohesive decoration, make sure to repeat your chosen theme in several places. You can order a wafer for the cake with your chosen graphic, a T-shirt for the little one and personalised thank-you bags for guests and decorations.
Personalised birthday party decorations
A garland with photos of the first 12 months of your baby’s life is a beautiful decoration that has the added advantage of allowing those gathered to reminisce about that special year.

Personalised guest thank-you pouches printed with the child’s name and guest details on the back of the pouch are very versatile gift packaging. Firstly, they will allow you to wrap the gifts nicely during the reception and also replace the traditional vignettes. An additional advantage of such pouches is that they will be a nice memento of the special day in the future.
