Design ideas
Depending on the child’s hobbies, you can come up with an appropriate themed design for the room. Little travelers will surely enjoy the marine theme.
And for those who are interested in stars and astronomy, you can put up a large panel painted with planets and stars.
How captivating are these fantasies of decorating a children's party on one theme or another!
Holiday decoration for a boy 5-8 years old
For decoration, it is useful to involve the birthday person himself. A child of this age is very interested in making a list of invited guests, inventing and drawing invitations, together with their parents coming up with a festive decoration style and competitions, and participating in the creation of decor.
When decorating a festive hall, it is advisable to choose 2-3 basic colors to decorate the interior of the room and photo zone. Also, these colors can be used when creating a menu and choosing the color scheme of outfits for the birthday boy and guests.
The holiday can be organized in the style of popular cartoons. All decorative items - garlands, posters, balloons - must correspond to the chosen theme and contain images of your favorite characters. Boys will be happy to become pirates and go in search of treasure. A pirate ship and a treasure chest can be made from cardboard and paper, and bright scraps of fabric can be used for pirate costumes.
A room decorated in a nautical style can be well decorated with ships and marine-themed items - anchors, steering wheels, etc. The main color is blue or light blue.
DIY garlands
Decorating a room with paper or fabric garlands is not difficult. Of course, such a decoration can be purchased at a specialized store, but it’s much more interesting to make the decor yourself! For example, on fairly thick cardboard you can draw patterns in the form of a flower, butterfly, bird, heart or other figure. Then carefully cut out the blanks and attach them to colored paper, then trace them with a pencil and cut them along the intended contour. In this way, prepare the required number of figures and secure everything with a thick thread, keeping a distance of 10-15 cm from each other.
Today it is very fashionable to decorate the house with vertical garlands, so it is better to use both types of decoration. A combination of vertical and horizontal garlands will look much more interesting and original.
Budget options for every family
Unfortunately, not every family can afford to organize a magnificent celebration in honor of the birth of their beloved girl.
We offer budget birthday options. This will require materials that can be purchased at any office supply store, where they are inexpensive, and a desire to create.
Balloons
It's hard to imagine a birthday without balloons. They cost relatively little, and are also very easy to decorate any room with. Balloons are made not only from latex, but also from foil.
They can be inflated with helium and will float above the ceiling. Or secure them in a special stand so that they are in the air like a voluminous bouquet. The balls are decorated with designs and made in various colors. In addition, there are glowing balls that will help create a magical atmosphere in the room.
Garlands of balloons
Whole garlands are created from balls, alternating shapes and colors. Balloons with the image of your favorite hero from fairy tales and cartoons will also help you.
If you want to surprise your daughter and guests with small gifts, prepare a surprise balloon. This will require a big ball and small surprises, for example:
- Candies;
- Souvenirs;
- Balloons;
- Serpentine;
- Predictions (a great idea to arrange a festive fortune telling in oriental style).
At the end of the evening, such a ball explodes or bursts on its own, and fabulous gifts are poured out on the children.
To prevent children from getting hurt, it is best to hide souvenirs and toys inside small balls in advance; this will also create intrigue as to what exactly the guest got.
It will be cute and interesting if you make a figured decor from balloons. From balls you can make:
- Letters and numbers;
- Flower arrangements;
- Heroes of fairy tales and cartoons;
- Arches and garlands.
Interesting paper ideas
You can easily and stylishly decorate a room using paper; there are many options for this using various techniques.
Below are the most commonly used ones:
- Pom-pom balls. This type of decor is made in one or several colors. They decorate walls, chandeliers, curtains and other pieces of furniture. If you hang them at different levels, it creates the feeling of falling stars-snowflakes. What will add magic to the holiday;
- Numbers. This is an integral part of any birthday. You can cut out a number from paper or cardboard and decorate it with real or paper flowers, pompoms or balls;
- Fairy lights. To create them, various shapes and paper of different structures are used, for example, corrugated. For a birthday, it is best to use bright colors; they can create a festive mood for all participants in the event;
- Flowers. Flowers made of corrugated paper have long and firmly entered our lives. They are quite simple to perform, but at the same time festive and interesting. If you don’t have corrugated paper on hand, then feel free to use ordinary colored paper, your flowers will not suffer from this;
- Revolving umbrellas, they are also called forfeits, they are very simple to make, but due to their appearance, a room decorated in this way looks very elegant;
- Wall newspapers, many may think that this is an outdated option, but in fact it is not. If you make it in the form of a favorite fairy-tale character or in an interesting shape (castle, crown), and place many photographs illustrating the life of the birthday person, it will be quite interesting and unusual.
For superhero lovers
An interesting solution is to hang the inscription “Happy Birthday!” on the wall, the letters of which will be cut out from comic books. Decorate it with colorful balloons. It would be good to buy a costume or parts of your child’s favorite hero - a Spider-Man costume, a Batman mask or a Superman cape. A cake baked yourself can be decorated with colored fondant or icing with themed designs and patterns.
Birthday in the style of your favorite Harry Potter
Even adults, let alone children, organize parties based on fairy-tale characters from JK Rowling’s novels! Organize a delightful fairy-tale holiday at home a la Hogwarts School, but for this you need to prepare properly.
Invite a group of children's animators who will play, for example, Hogwarts teachers. Invitations should be associated with letters that students of the magic school received. To make similar ones, use artificially aged parchment (soak it in strong coffee or tea) and plasticine stamps with the Hogwarts School logo.
Some details will help you immerse yourself in the fairy tale as much as possible:
- magic wands made from improvised materials;
- brooms for the sport game Quidditch;
- walls decorated with posters and posters of Harry, Hermione and Ron;
- legendary glasses for the birthday boy.
And of course, you can’t do without a red brick wall here. In the hallway between the floor and the ceiling, attach a piece of wallpaper with a characteristic brick pattern, cutting out a door through which guests will enter Hogwarts. Provide each student with a hat and gown.
And don't forget about the chocolate frogs on the holiday table!
The idea of a holiday in the style of Harry Potter guarantees a cheerful mood and an interesting pastime for all participants of the celebration!
Children's holiday table
As for treats, it is advisable to include in the menu dishes mentioned in books or films. These can include chocolate frogs, pumpkin cookies, eclairs and the famous molasses cake.

Balloon decoration
Inflatable colorful balloons are the most popular design option for children's parties. First, decide what they will be - regular inflatable or helium. The first ones can simply be beautifully laid out on the floor or hung on the walls; the latter are filled with helium so that the balloons float mesmerizingly under the ceiling.
Flowers made from balloons look great. They are made quite simply: just inflate several balloons of the same color and connect them to form petals. Let the core be a yellow ball.
Another original idea is to hang a large balloon with a surprise, which can be filled with confetti, sweets, streamers, etc. At the right moment, someone must burst the balloon so that the children can catch their surprises or joyfully watch the bright snowfall of confetti.
We decorate the wall and ceiling
The easiest and most budget-friendly way to decorate the walls and ceiling of a child’s room is to use multi-colored balloons.
Hang helium balloons from the ceiling, and use ordinary ones to create spectacular compositions on the walls. Use bright colors: red, yellow, purple, green, blue are ideal.

Many companies provide services for creating arches, flowers and other compositions for their inflatable balloons - contact them if you cannot decide on the best decor for the free walls of your home.
Tip: you can make animals and people out of balloons and decorate different corners of the children's room. This design is especially relevant if you adhere to a certain theme (for example, airy and light fish are suitable for a marine style).
You can put sweet prizes in the balloons and arrange games and competitions for children. By the way, in addition to the wall and ceiling, chairs and a festive table are suitable for using these decorative elements. Tie helium balloons to the legs - and the children's dining area will immediately stand out from the general background.
Another way to decorate walls and ceilings is with garlands. You can make them yourself using paper, fabric, beads, candies and other bright details. If you are planning a celebration in the evening, decorate the room with electric garlands with different lanterns.
You can use garlands to lay out abstract compositions or create festive inscriptions on the walls. You can attach cheerful pom-poms made of thread or corrugated paper in bright colors to the ceiling.
Paper flowers and butterflies, bright wall stickers, and family photos are also suitable for decorating a nursery. Ready-made hanging inscriptions and numbers for celebrating children's birthdays are available for sale.

Decorating a table for a child's birthday
At a children's party, cake and sweets should become the main part of the festive interior. It is better to cover the table with a colored tablecloth - it is beautiful and practical, since a white one can get pretty dirty.
Tip: buy disposable bright tableware with drawings of comics or cartoon characters. This is a very reasonable decision, since such dishes do not break and will make cleaning after the holiday easier (you won’t have to wash them).
When it comes to table decoration, there are a lot of interesting ideas. The main thing is your imagination and desire to make your children's holiday unforgettable!
It’s not difficult to make shaped cupcakes, mini-cakes, and sandwiches: prepare simple cakes and sandwiches, then press the treats through shaped cookie cutters.
Eggs and olives make funny canapés in the form of mini penguins on skewers, and seasonal fruits make cute pyramids.
Try to prepare original sandwiches, for which you can come up with a plot yourself, or you can look for ready-made samples in the photo. For example, wonderful ladybug-shaped sandwiches can be easily made from tomato halves and black olives placed on a cracker greased with cream cheese.
“Live” salads will look very impressive on the table. Give them the shape of turtles, snakes, fish, decorating them with scales of cucumbers or olives.
Decorating a children's party is a labor-intensive task, but no less exciting and incredibly interesting. We hope our selection of ideas will further inspire you to organize an unforgettable birthday for your child!
