How to Decorate for a Kid’s Birthday Party
Give yourself as much time as possible to prepare for the party. Start by looking around your house for supplies you already have. Free is best. Then, gather whatever other materials you need from the thrift store, craft store, or online.
Craft, cut, glue, and blow up balloons with enough time to clean up and catch your breath after.
Make your home a clean slate, as much as possible, and begin the decorating process the day before. You may want to decorate your entrance, the cake table, and the activity space. Balloon arcs are an easy project you can add anywhere!
Do what you can and enjoy the process. Remember: it’s as much a party for you as it is for your baby. Ahem, one year old.
Once the party is over, pack away the best of the decor for the next baby down the line. If you have room in your garage, storing plastic bins with party gear is a great way to save things for future parties.
