Birthday Dinner Decorating
Whimsical Themed Birthday Dinner Party Decorating
Transform a birthday dinner into an unforgettable event with engaging
details that are unique and fun. Keep your guests entertained with 2 or 3 different scenes to be revealed throughout the evening. Specifically, plan your:- Pre-dinner cocktail area
- Dining room and table
- After-dinner conversation
Naturally, you will coordinate the overall look of your tablescape when placing elements, pattern and color, but we also like to consider each guest’s point of view.
When serving dinner, the small details at each place setting will go a long way to creating a memorable experience for everyone.
We've individualized each of our place settings with different color combinations of napkins, napkin rings, balloon dog picks and printed placecard names.
Some details to consider:
- Use a charger, dinner plate or placemat as a frame
- Add a theme or color beverage napkin in the center
- Center an hors d'oeuvre or apertif
- Party beads as napkin rings are a subtle surprise to wear at dinner
- Placecard holders (even if you don't use them, you should have a seating plan, see here)
- Print names in theme-related font and color
- Use border, shape and color where appropriate; we cut our placecards with scallop-edge borders to match the cake stand

When decorating each vignette, try to create as much contrast between each location as possible. If weather permits, setup one of the three scenes outdoors or on a porch.
Consider the arrival and flow of your guests so you can keep each decorated vignette hidden until time to unveil your creative secrets.
