Ivy Garland
I’m not a fan of plastic plants but these vines will make anything look nice. They arrived tied up and organized so it was so easy to decorate with and went great with the theme. I simply hung them over the rope that was tied across the yard nd they stayed put all day. They are lightweight and can be manipulated easily around any structure. It was a windy birthday so the gardlands didn’t stay completely even but they still looked great.
Since I had garlands of leaves as my backdrop, I couldn’t just use any birthday sign so I found this skeleton sign on Amazon that was just perfect. It comes attached to a long string so that the letters can be spread out according to your space and it’s as durable as cardboard can be. I loved it!
Balloon Arch
So this might look intimidating to make but it’s incredibly easy! I blew up the balloons, repeated a color pattern of my choice, and threaded the balloon through the plastic garland strip. The trick is to skip two or three holes in between each balloon and insert every other balloon on opposite sides of the garland. I repeated this process for about 25 minutes and ended up with this beautiful, cheap, professional looking arch. I did not need strings or special tying techniques and I finished it off by tying the completed balloon arch to the rope that we had draped across the yard.
Jumbo Inflatable Dinosaurs
This was a hit at the party! I had the inflatable dinos displayed all around the yard as temporary decor. The kids spent the entire party passing them around, tossing them, and dinosaur fighting. It was so much fun!
Helium balloon dinosaurs.
I used these helium balloons to hang all around the yard. I filled them with the electric balloon pump so that they wouldn’t fly away and they looked great. I will say, to be careful when filling these with an electric pump because they fill up fast and I popped two in the process . I would not give these out to play with because they tear easily.
Dinosaur Masks
Another party favorite were the dinosaur masks. The pack I ordered brought so many different styles and it was super affordable. They are amazing quality, durable, and comfortable.
Table Cloth
If you are looking for a durable table cloth than I recommend this brand on Amazon. It’s a washable polyester fabric that’s heavy duty. I bought this for the party because the disposable table cloths tend to break easily and I can wash and re-use it again. It’s thick and it comes in different colors.
Palm leaves
To add to the jungle’ish dinosaur theme, I pinned palm leaves to the edge of the cake table with safety pins. The front of the table was missing something to it and this purchase tied everything together nicely. They are great quality and can be saved for multiple occasions.
Dominican cake
If you live in New York, I got the cake at Sweet Occasions in Queens and it was really really good. I originally wanted a volcano with a dinosaur design but it was way too pricey for my taste ($200). Instead, I chose this simple 1lb cake with green decor for $55 and decorated it with dollar store dinosaurs. It fed about 25 people or more and there were left overs.
Miniature dinosaurs
The kids loved playing with these little dinos around the yard. You can find different assortments at any dollar store in your area for no more than $2. I placed them around the tables, on the cake, and even in goodie bags.
Illuminated Letters
There’s just something about giant, illuminated letters that make any table look fancy. We had the letters H, B, and D for happy birthday. They are battery powered and can be used over and over again.
And if you’d like to go above nd beyond with the theme, below I’ve listed more items that I thought would compliment the party.
I hope this quick list of items was useful for your birthday party. Don’t forget the most important thing of all is to enjoy the party and have a memorable time. Until next time Xox.
