On our website, you’ll find personalised party decorations, themes for every occasion, and blog posts full of tips, tricks, and photos.
Here is the ultimate guide to planning your next Brisbane party.
Themes for your Brisbane Party
Brisbane is known for its beautiful weather and outdoor lifestyle, so when you’re choosing a theme you might want to keep the great outdoors in mind.
At Katie J Design & Events, we have over 300 personalised party themes you can choose from for your next celebration. Many pair perfectly with outdoor events, whether you’re hosting children’s birthday parties, 18th, 21st and 50th milestone birthdays, baby showers and naming ceremonies, christenings and baptisms, engagements and anniversaries, or hens parties and bridal showers.
For example, our Personalised Girls Camp Out Party Decorations feature an illustration of girls camping in tents with a fire and toasting marshmallows by Pretty Grafik. It’s a gorgeous theme for a sleepover under the stars on a warm Brisbane night.
For a baby shower, our Personalised Sunflower & Honey Bee Decorations showcase a watercolour sunflower border on your choice of a white or yellow background with the sweetest hand-painted honey bees by Trendy Sense Studio. It’s beautiful for an outdoor baby shower in Brisbane.
Of course, the weather doesn’t always cooperate during storm season, so it’s smart to have an indoor plan. We have hundreds of themes so you can always find the best one to honour your celebrant.

Decorating Ideas for your Brisbane Party
One of my favourite parts of hosting a party is the decorating. It’s so fun to style a party space that matches the theme and wows your guests.
My best tip is to play with theme colours. When you choose a theme, you’ll notice a few colours really pop. Bring those colours through the rest of your styling to tie everything together.
- Tablecloths: Use one of your theme colours for all tables to make a big visual impact. Reusable coloured bed sheets are an eco-friendly option.
- Balloons: Balloons in your theme colours look great on walls, posts, and as a feature with a banner. See our guide to decorating and hanging party banners.
Here’s a banner and balloon display from my daughter Paige’s unicorn themed 4th birthday party.
Personalised decorations: It’s always special to include customised supplies for the guest of honour. When you order from Katie J Design & Events, you can add personalised details to your chosen theme. We’re proud to be featured as one of Brisbane’s 5 best party supply stores.
Our party themes include banners, posters and bunting for decorating your Brisbane party space. Everything is printed on high-quality, durable, waterproof material, so it’s great for outdoor use too.
Your Brisbane Party Food and Treats
Don’t forget food, treats, and party favours. Guests love to mingle around snacks, and favours let everyone take home a little piece of the celebration.
We make it easy to theme your food and favours with personalised products. Our range includes party invites, chocolate wrappers, loot bags, water labels, juice and bubble wand labels, round lollipop and favour stickers, wine and beer labels, and more.
Our mini chocolate labels are especially versatile. Here’s how to wrap mini chocolate bars with personalised labels for quick, cute favours.
Hosting adults in Brisbane? Our beer and wine labels make elegant favours. This display of baby shower wine bottles is simple, personal, and looks beautiful on a styled table.
Beyond labels and stickers, I love easy, colourful treats that match your theme. Some of our most popular party snacks are chocolate spoons, iced biscuits, rainbow jelly, and wafers dipped in sprinkles. They’re kid-friendly and can be adapted for any celebration.
Brisbane Party Games and Activities
Games are always a hit. To make the most of Brisbane’s sunshine, take your activities outdoors when you can.
Scavenger hunts are a family favourite. Kids love searching for themed items. You can also print and laminate images to pin around the party area for an easy, low-mess game.
We’ve also adapted classic party games over the years. Try these fun kids party games for all ages, including DIY piñatas, musical chairs, and more outdoor ideas.
