All You Ever Needed To Know About Birthday Decorating
By Slobodan Karabashev

Whether the party is for a kid or for an adult one thing is
certain, all birthdays are special! And planning a birthday
party is harder than it sounds. It’s more than just making a
guest list and buying the birthday boy or girl a present. It’s
about making the day special as it should be, and memorable, and
birthdays are the perfect time to show a person how much they
mean. With all of those things in mind the next time you walk
into a birthday party and see the lights, balloons, streamers or
if you notice that the napkins match the plates, remember that
someone spent a lot of time and money to get even the smallest
detail right so that a loved one can have a great birthday
celebration. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be the one having
to throw a birthday bash! So here’s everything you need to know
about birthdays parties and decorating.  

You know who your friends are and you know that family members
will show up for the big day, so now you have an idea of how
many people will be at this shindig. You call a caterer or visit
the grocery store and get the things that you would like (and
other too) to serve at the party. So within, give or take, two
days you have gotten the easy parts done. Now it’s time to delve
into the real trouble-maker behind any birthday party;
decorating.  

Now you may not think decorating is much of a big deal, after
all they are just a bunch of streamers and balloons right?
Wrong, every individual ornament or piece of decoration used
usually contributes to the overall theme of a birthday party.
And yes birthday parties, even ones for adults, have themes. And
the theme you choose for the birthday party will help you
determine what kind of decorations you will need, what style of
decorations will compliment the area in which you are having the
party and the color or combination of colors that the
decorations should be.  

At this point you should think about getting the most
anticipated item of any birthday party and possibly the only
decoration that a party cannot survive without, and that is the
birthday cake. The cake can be as elaborate as you can afford or
as modest, but what is most important is that the cake not only
matches the other decorations and general theme of the party,
but the cake should also reflect something of the birthday boy
or girl.

Once a theme is chosen and you know the decorations you want to
use, the next task is putting the decorations up in the most
appropriate and flattering place. This may take a while and
several opinions before the right spot is found for a particular
set of decorations. But the work and decorating are not over
just yet, because whatever food or candy you are offering your
guests has to be conveniently available, as well as plates, cups
and napkins. Remember, when serving anything edible always be
sure to use clean dishes, and use dishes and serving trays that
will make the food or snacks on them seem delectable.  

Other negligible factors will depend solely on the age of the
birthday person and the likes/dislikes of the same are dress
code, alcohol, music (DJ or home stereo) and of course, the time
the party is scheduled to start and its subsequent end.  Above
all, the ultimate goal is to ensure that the birthday person is
having a great time and your guests are treated well. So
birthday parties, though they often run smoothly and easily, are
much more complicated than you might think, and the only reason
birthday parties seem so easy to pull off on the surface is
because someone is doing a lot of work below deck.
