Planning an at-home birthday party? Be good to the planet and your wallet by investing in the most Instagrammable and *reusable* decorations for birthday parties!
Naturally, as home decor lovers like yourself, we go a little OTT when it comes to at-home birthday decorations.
But we’re not talking early 00s party decor where it was all about “the crazier, the better”.
Nowadays, we prefer to maintain a classier edge, and invest in quality decorations for birthday celebrations we can reuse on every birthday for years to come.
So, let’s get into it, shall we? Party prep starts now!
Decorations for Birthday Celebrations: Our Fave Finds
Gold ‘Happy Birthday’ Banner
Is any birthday complete with a banner? We think not.
This minimalistic design can be hung from just about anywhere and makes the perfect photo backdrop.
TOP TIP: If you’re serious about scrapping single-use decorations and carving out a more sustainable future, avoid all decorations with names or numbers. A simple ‘Happy Birthday’ does the job whilst creating a timeless aesthetic you can appreciate every year!
Gold ‘Happy Birthday’ Balloon Tails
Well… we did say we like to go a little OTT.
Balloon tails are definitely one of the most luxurious (and certainly non-essential) decorations for birthday celebrations, but we love the way they add an expensive vibe to helium balloons.
Geometric Glass Cake Dome
Don’t forget the decorations for the birthday cake!
Whether investing in a professionally baked cake or making one yourself, it definitely deserves to be on display. A cake dome puts your creation in the spotlight, whilst creating an unmissable centrepiece in the kitchen.
Gold Acrylic Cake Topper
We can’t lie, we love personalised cake toppers. They really make the celebrations feel that bit more special, don’t they?
But we’re certainly not about to buy one for every friend, family member, colleague, or whoever else. That’s why this acrylic topper is our #1 choice to decorate the cake year after year.
‘Happy Birthday’ Neon Sign
Wanna add a little colour to the party? This LED neon sign will definitely create a super cool, street-style vibe, setting the mood for a killer celebration.
Gold Stainless Steel Champagne Flutes
No birthday bash is complete without a bottle of bubbly, right?
But we know all too well the risk of getting your finest glassware out to celebrate (take it from us, it’s not worth it). That’s why these stainless steel flutes are a GENIUS addition to any party, allowing you to “cheers” without the stress.
Disco Ball Ornaments
Love the 70s? You cannot go wrong with retro styling, especially when setting up for a dazzling birthday party.
This 11-piece set of disco ball ornaments makes the ultimate centrepiece for your dining table or bar cart, adding to your perfectly Instagrammable birthday decor.
Metallic Gold Table Runner
It’s giving luxury, it’s giving expensive, it’s giving everything we need.
Scrap the table cloth, sometimes a table runner is enough of a statement on its own. If you’re planning a slightly more boujee ‘do, this is one of those decorations for birthday parties you absolutely NEED.
Reusable Gold & Clear Plastic Tumblers
Move over, red cups.
Did you know you can buy reusable tumblers? Perfect for drinks with friends and family, they save you getting your finest glassware from getting damaged (and cut out tons of washing up!).
Consider them must-have decorations for birthday celebrations with zero fuss.
Multicolour Metal Straws
Plastic straws are out, metal straws are in. We don’t make the rules.
As much as we’re complete suckers for luxe gold straws, a birthday calls for a little extra pizzazz, right? This multicolour set is *everything* and helps partygoers differentiate their drinks.
Scatter Rhinestones
If glam celebrations are your kinda thing, then these are one of the most essential (and flash-photo-ready!) decorations for birthday parties!
Reusable Round Balloon Arch Kit
Hear us out, we’re fully aware you *still* need to purchase balloons every year, despite the balloon arch itself being fully reusable.
But, with your own balloon arch kit at home, there’s no need to pay a professional event planner for the job. See? It’s not the full deal, but it’s halfway there!
Gold Candlestick Holders
We’re all about setting the mood. If you’re planning a boujee birthday dinner party, tapered candles are the ultimate glamorous addition.
Transform your table with these perpetually stylish candlestick holders to elevate the entire celebration!
Cocktail Stirrers
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Like these a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e cocktail stirrers.
While they might not be the first thing on your list when planning your decorations for birthday parties, we consider them an essential (especially if you love a cheeky tipple!).
