Christmas selection might be green and red. Halloween, orange and black. Valentine's Day, red. Your child's birthday party, his or her favorite colors. The idea is to personalize it.
Banners are also great for decorating an empty space.
The decorations you choose depend on the theme of your party. For St. Patrick's Day decorate with lots of green clovers and Irish accessories. For a Super Bowl party, use footballs tossed around the room and a football helmet filled with goodies. For a New Year's Eve theme, give out party hats with the year on them, and confetti to throw, and use clock centerpieces that sit around and remind every guest how long they have before they welcome in the New Year. We have mentioned places to have your party, invitations, and decorations, and the word theme keeps recurring.
