Transform Your Birthday Celebration with these 5 Simple Table Decoration Steps

For those envious of the gorgeous Pinterest party tables and unsure of where to begin, look no further than these five affordable steps to transform any table into a stunning display:

1. Set the tone with a theme and color palette.

Getting started is easy once you've selected your theme and color palette. Mixing and matching various patterns creates visual interest and adds a touch of style to your party decor. Make sure to maintain the cohesive color story throughout all aspects of your decorations.

2. Flowers and foliage are essential!

Flowers and foliage are sure to add beautiful color and volume to any table setup. Choose flower types and colors that match your theme and color palette to ensure a harmonious result. If arranging flowers is not your forte, stick to one type and display a dozen in a single vase. The number of arrangements needed will depend on the size of your table and decor items. Aim for two tall arrangements and consider adding smaller ones to balance it all out. Be sure to add flowers or foliage to a balloon garland or to create a centerpiece.

3. Create dimension.

Flat and boring tables are a real party faux pas. Utilize different heights of elements to make for a visually intriguing display. Adding varied elements such as cakes, assorted sweet treats, different sized boxes, and decor objects tied to your theme creates volume in your decor. Use a cake stand for the birthday cake, trays or smaller stands for cupcakes and other treats, and distribute them evenly throughout the table surface. If still feeling flat, try placing trays or plates on top of boxes or placing cookies in an open, decorative box.

4. Decorate with balloons, garlands, and wall stickers.

Creating backdrops with balloons, garlands, and wall stickers is an easy and affordable way to make a big statement. Simply follow your established color palette and get creative! Consider grouping decorations in one area to create more impact. Use a variety of items such as pompoms, foliage, garlands, wall stickers, and origami to create a stunning effect.

By following these simple steps, anyone can upgrade their table decor to professional party status!

5. Little extras that add magic to your table setting

Creating a stunning table that dazzles your guests doesn't mean breaking the bank. Scour your home for items that blend in with your party theme and color scheme to lend a personal touch to your table setting. Party bags can also double up as charming table decor, be it as a centerpiece or as an accent on your console.

If you're throwing a birthday bash for little ones, don't overlook the entertaining accouterments like party hats, masks, and piñatas that can do double duty as quirky table embellishments.
