Wall decor · wall stickers
How about using wall stickers to decorate when it’s hard to fill a large wall—like a plain white wall—or when you want a simple, stylish finish? These days there are many types available, including chic, minimalist text-only designs for celebrations and parties.
The great thing about wall stickers is that they don’t take up space and are easy to clean up—just peel them off.
They’re also recommended when the wall is so large that, even after decorating, it still feels empty.
How to make a floral column arch
This is a unique and adorable column arch with a flower motif.
The pillars are made by stacking vertically a part called a cluster, which consists of four balloons tied together.
The balloon with a face drawn on it makes a nice accent.
For the arch section, we use linkable balloons that can be easily connected.
If you want to make the arch more striking and gorgeous, we recommend using patterned balloons or filling the gaps between the linkable balloons with smaller clusters.
How to make a balloon tower
Balloon towers are recommended when you want to make the venue entrance look festive.
In this idea, you tie inflated balloons in pairs, connect the pairs, twist the connected sections, and secure them to a banner flag stand.
We used 32 balloons, but please adjust the number to fit the size of your stand.
If you don’t have a banner flag stand, you can substitute one by fixing a tension rod in place with 2-liter water-filled bottles.
To make it even more luxurious, add a star-shaped decorative balloon on top and fill the gaps between balloons with floral decorations.
flower bouquet
Why not incorporate a flower bouquet decoration that even kids can easily make? Cut a paper cup in half so its height is halved, and stuff it with crumpled newspaper.
Then secure a ball of clay on top and cover the clay’s surface with tissue paper flowers.
Use a toothpick to press and insert small pieces of tissue paper into the clay.
It’s recommended to use tissue paper in the same color family with different shades.
You can also add a handle using the rim of the cut-off cup, or slip in a message card for a cute touch!
Candlelight
Thank-you parties often involve dining, so you’ll want to make the table settings cute and stylish.
Simply placing candle lights on each table can instantly create a chic, lovely atmosphere.
Since children will be attending, real candles can be dangerous, so how about using LED candle-style lights instead? Options that flicker like real candles, or arranging lights in chic colors and different sizes, are great ideas too.
In a dimly lit room, they’ll stand out beautifully.
Balloon table centerpiece
Balloon decorations are often large, but if you make them table-sized, you can enjoy a different kind of festivity right on the table than with dynamic, oversized displays! Inflate about two balloons in your favorite patterns or colors and attach a stick to each.
Prepare a clear jar that can hold the balloon sticks, and fill it with marshmallows or cute-shaped packing materials.
Insert the balloon sticks, threading them between the fillers, and you’re done! For a large table, it’s nice to line up several of them.
Origami flower garland
Cute paper flowers will make the thank-you party feel even more festive and vibrant! Prepare origami paper in your favorite colors and first cut each sheet in half.
Accordion-fold the piece, then use a hole punch to make holes in the second and third sections from one end.
Keeping it folded, staple the center, and trim the ends into rounded, petal-like shapes.
Next, open it out into a flower shape and staple the edges together where they meet.
Finally, thread a string through the finished flowers and you’re done.
You can string together flowers of a single color, or mix different colors—finish it in the color palette you like!
