Overcome the difficulty of decorating outside with these simple and fun outdoor birthday decorations. These easy Birthday Party Ideas go with any theme and work in any weather.
Are you feeling frustrated with decorating for an outdoor birthday party? I get it. There are issues with the materials you can use and then the weather adds another level of stress.
That’s why I created this list. I found the best party decorations for you. All of them can be used both inside and outside. That way, if you have to move the party because of the weather, you don’t have to buy a whole new set of supplies.
And I didn’t just create a list of party supplies. I’m also sharing all my best birthday party tips, too!
I’ll be sharing ideas for Birthday Party Foods, drinks, and themes – and my favorite places to buy party supplies.
If you don’t want to read all my tips, then scroll down to the list of decorations.
Best Birthday Party Themes
Having a birthday party theme makes every other decision so much easier. Instead of deciding which food or decorations to buy, just grab the ones that match your theme.
Picking a theme can be really easy. Here are some simple themes that are easy to plan with.
- Age or Milestone
- Celebrity or Pop Culture Character
- Colors
- Birth Year
- Location (Tropical, England, etc)
- Animals
Or keep it really simple and just go with a general birthday theme. The birthday party decorations can be as simple as happy birthday signs and birthday cakes.
Personally, I like to keep things really simple. It decreases my stress so much!
As long as you keep the birthday person as the center of the celebration, the theme will take care of itself!
All of the party decorations in this list will go with any theme that you pick. So, where will you buy the decorations?
Let’s look at that next!
Best Places To Buy Party Decorations
While you can always go to big box stores like Walmart or Party City to buy decorations, I prefer to shop online. It just makes sense because online is always open and no traffic!
As you click through the ideas on this list, you’ll see that I linked to a lot of things on Amazon and Etsy.
Both Amazon and Etsy are great places for online shopping. Amazon has that super fast shipping. So it’s a great choice if you’re short on time.
But there’s just something fun about shopping on Etsy, too. You can get unique, handmade items that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, you can customize almost everything too!
At the end of the day, either choice is perfect. You could even go with whichever one is lower priced.
