I have always Loved all Types of Parties. My Family Celebrates Birthdays, Holidays, and other Milestones! It’s so Fun to Create Amazing Party Spaces, with Decorations, Food, and Games for the Guests to Enjoy.
But not only to I Love different reasons for Celebrating, I also Love different Party Locations.
Many of my Customers have been asking for Ideas about how to Throw a Party in the Park! When the Weather is Beautiful, it makes sense to let the Guests Enjoy the Great Outdoors.
I’ve compiled Some Amazing Inspiration from Past Parties from my Customers and my Family as well as a few New Ideas. If you’re looking for tips for a Park Party, I have them here for you!
Decorating at a Park Party
It’s easy to Decorate Inside a House. After all, there’s a ceiling, walls, and plenty of surfaces. If you want to throw a Park Party, you’ll need to make use of existing structures or bring your own.
And trust me, you’ll want some sort of Structure. Even if you don’t plan to do a lot of decorating, a Pavilion, Gazebo, or Tent will provide Shade and Shelter if you need it! A Table is also important so you have a place for Food and Gifts!
Make sure to Visit the Park Location so you know if there’s already a Party Area, like a Pavilion with Picnic Tables, or if you need to bring your own Tent and Folding Tables with Chairs. If you're near Brisbane, Qld like us, Check out the Brisbane Parks Finder.
The Great News is that with some sort of structure, even a fence, and a table or two, you’ll have an easy time Decorating for your Park Party!
Park Party Decoration Ideas
When Decorating for your Park Party, you can use the same methods that I use for Indoor Parties. Think of your Party Theme, and Choose Theme Colours for Tablecloths, Balloons, and other Supplies.
Just remember that anything you set up Outside needs to be tied down well so it doesn’t blow away in a gust of wind! Tie Balloons, Posters, Bunting, and Banners tightly to structures with string or wire, and make sure to weigh down Tablecloths and other light objects.
For this Bananas in Pyjamas Birthday Party, they’ve made excellent use of the existing Pavillion and Added their own Table! You can see that the Blue and Yellow Balloons are weighed down and the Tablecloths are tied so they won’t blow away.
At this Party, there are some Beautiful Balloons attached the the Pavillion Supports, and they’ve used the table as a place to Hang the Personalised Themed Bunting!
It was such a Creative Idea to hang this Banner on the Fence. It’s easy to Tie the banner with strings, and Guests can see it as they enter the Park for the Party!
In this Photograph, they used the Fence for their Personalised Dr. Seuss Birthday Party Banner and for some large Dr. Seuss Inspired Decorations!
Don’t worry if you have to bring your own Tent to the Park Party. We have plenty of Customers who have done a great job with Decorations in their own structure.
Here’s an example of an Outdoor Baby Shower using the Personalised Floral Aussie Baby Shower Theme. They have their Banner hanging and framed Posters to Display on their Beautiful Party Table.
This Colourful My Little Pony Party at the Park has such an Amazing Celebration Area! They have a banner and hung Streamer Curtains for such a fun effect.
At this Gorgeous Unicorn Birthday, they used a Sheer Curtain and Hung the Personalised Party Banner with Pins. This is such a Great Idea and Creates a Look that is just Perfect for the Unicorn Theme.
If you don’t have a Pavillion or Tent, you can bring your own Structure for hanging a Personalised Banner for your Park Party Decorations. At this Bananas in Pyjamas Party, they used a Wire Party Stand for their Banner and Balloons.
