Summertime means celebration and bringing backyard party decoration ideas to life with family and friends. The warmer months are the best time of year for gathering together outdoors. Toy World has a variety of party supplies available, from simple decorations like colorful plates, tablecloths, and streamers to balloons from top-quality brands like Qualatex and Kalisan. Everyone loves throwing a backyard BBQ or pool party, but if you’re looking for more inspired outdoor party ideas, check these out:
A fun party theme makes for a memorable event, and a camping vibe is
easy to recreate. It lets you feel like you took a road trip without even leaving the house. To get started, place a small tent in the corner of the backyard for kids to explore and set up a firepit if your space allows for one. For snacks, assemble a s’mores bar with lots of marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers. (Don’t forget the skewers for grilling!) If you want to get extra creative with your backyard party decoration ideas, put together some paper or cardboard signs featuring common camping symbols like a tent, picnic table, or a hiking stick figure.
Not many things in life are more low effort, high reward than a picnic. A backyard picnic party is a laidback way to enjoy a meal with friends and family while taking in the great outdoors. Spread a colorful blanket down on the grass and pile up some pillows so guests will be extra comfy. Place small tables around the picnic blanket to provide guests with flat surfaces on which to set food and drinks and minimize the risk of spills. For extra color, gift wrap the tables in printed paper that complements the visual theme of your party. If you’re celebrating a birthday at your backyard picnic, tie balloons and streamers to trees or fence posts. Instead of traditional sliced cake, consider serving cupcakes or cookies, which make for easy snacking and quick cleanup.
If you’re getting together with friends and family in the evening and searching for backyard party decoration ideas, don’t underestimate the power of thoughtful lighting. Lights can make an outdoor space feel warm and inviting for all your guests. For a festive effect, place some twinkle lights around the trees in your backyard or set tea lights along the edges of the back patio for extra ambience. You can also use balloons to illuminate your party area. Simply pop mini LED lights into large latex balloons and inflate them. Place the balloons together in bunches for a dazzling effect. You’ll have floating lights that last up to eight hours.
If there’s a backyard and a projector on hand, you’ve got the makings for a
summer movie night. Before you send out invitations, be sure you have a suitable wall or fence in your backyard at which you can point the projector. Frame the projected image with streamers or small inflated balloons—a great way to add color while also reminding people where to sit to take in the best view!
Flowers are a universal language of love and affection, so why not throw a
garden party in your backyard? Make a daytime gathering extra colorful and
fragrant by placing bouquets at various heights around the space. Mix and match flower buds and paper streamers or sprinkle rose petals atop a table between place settings. Take your floral theme even further with floral tableware and flower-printed balloons. If these balloons are hard to find, take a marker to solid color ones to create your own custom floral prints.
