How to Decorate a Hall for a Birthday Party
- 1). Outline the open main doors in a colorful balloon arch. Place a stanchion with a placard that welcomes guests to "The (name of birthday person's) Birthday Party" on each side of the doors. Place an easel with an over-sized birthday card and markers off to the side so that well-wishers can sign it.
- 2). Scatter round tables covered with white tablecloths or tablecloths that match the colors of the decorations around the lower half of the hall. Use candles and flowers for the tables' centerpieces. You can also create centerpieces from fairy lights or small twinkling lights and netting that will match the decorations over the dance floor.
- 3). Indicate the dance floor by hanging colorful, small twinkling lights within masses of sparkling silver or gold netting from the ceiling. You can also hang 2 to 3 feet sections of curled metallic ribbon from the netting. Outline the dance floor in a glittery metallic tape if dancers spilling off the dance floor is a safety concern.
- 4). Set up a buffet and gift table off to the sides of the hall, out of the way of arriving guests and dancing couples. Ensure that the buffet table is far enough away from the wall so that two serving lines can form around it. Hang two bunches of balloons that match or contrast with the decoration scheme on either side of the tables. Place a larger version of the round tables' centerpiece on each table. Put a gift on the gift table to indicate its purpose. A separate drinks or bar table can keep the food line moving smoothly, and a bartender can provide alcohol control.
- 5). Place restroom signs outside near the main doors and on the walls inside the hall if the restrooms are located outside of the birthday party hall. These signs can continue the birthday party decoration theme with matching party colors, outlines of male and female party goers in birthday hats or gift signs with the words "Men's" or "Women's" and arrows printed on them, indicating the direction of the restrooms.
