Colorful Birthday Decorations

A colorful birthday look comes from repeating a few bright patterns around the room, not from buying everything in rainbow. Shoppers here start with the assorted mini party hats, 9 patterned pom-pom cones plus two metallic crowns, then add the colorful pennant banner: 24 printed paper flags with smiley faces, dots, stripes and chevrons on two 16.4 ft ribbons. A 30 x 24 in yellow smiley foil balloon gives the cake table one bold focal point.

What to look for

  • Repeat each pattern at least twice: if the banner has polka dots and stripes, set out hats with dots and stripes too, so the room looks planned rather than random.
  • Banner math: twelve flags edge to edge cover about 6 ft; spread out on one 16.4 ft ribbon with 2 ft tails, they span about 12 ft. Use one long garland or two shorter strands.
  • The flags are paper and best for indoor, short-term decorating. For hanging without marking the walls, see how to hang party banners.
  • Fill the smiley foil balloon to about 80–90 percent so the seams aren't strained. With air it hangs on a wall; with helium it floats.
  • Keep one calm area, such as a white tablecloth, so the colors around it stand out instead of competing.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the colorful pennant banner?

The kit includes 24 flags and two 16.4 ft ribbons, 32.8 ft in total. How far it spans depends on flag spacing: about 6 ft per dozen flags edge to edge, or about 12 ft when spread out.

Can I split the banner into two strands?

Yes. With two ribbons and 24 flags, you can hang two strands of 12, for example one over the cake table and one across a doorway.

Do the party hats match the banner?

They share the same bright, patterned style. The Vesil and Olen hat sets each include 9 printed cones plus a gold and a silver crown.

Does the smiley balloon need helium?

No. It floats with helium, or you can fill it with air and hang it on a wall or backdrop. It comes with about 33 ft of ribbon.
