Party decorations for every celebration, all in one place. Our decorations range covers party banners and party bunting, table decorations and confetti, scene setters and backdrops, hanging decorations and party lights. Whether you're dressing one room or a whole venue, you'll find pieces that work together.
Setting a theme? Add a door cover or party sign at the entrance, then carry your colours across the table and the walls. For the finishing touches, balloons pair with almost everything, and our birthday decorations pull a party together by age and theme.
Decorating a room? Our party decorating guide covers banners, balloons and hanging pieces.
Show moreGood party decorations do two jobs: they fill the space, and they tell everyone what the party is about. Here's how we'd plan them, after more than 3 million orders.
Banner, bunting or a backdrop? A party banner carries the message, a happy birthday, an age or a name, so hang it where guests walk in or behind the cake. Party bunting is best for length: string it along a wall, a fence or a table edge to add colour fast. A scene setter or backdrop covers a whole wall in one theme and doubles as a photo spot. Plenty of parties use all three.
How much to buy for a room. As a rough guide, dress the three things people look at first: the entrance, the food table and the main wall. For an average front room, one banner, two to three metres of bunting and a table centrepiece cover it, with hanging decorations or party lights to fill any bare ceiling. Bigger venue? Scale up the bunting and add a backdrop so no wall looks empty.
Match your colours. Pick two colours and repeat them across the room, on the table decorations, the walls and the balloons. Sticking to a pair looks pulled together and makes it easy to top up later. Following a theme? Let the banner and backdrop set the palette, then match everything else to them.
If the party's close, order by 4pm and next-day delivery means you can still dress the room the day before.
A: It covers the pieces that dress a party space, including banners, party signs, door covers, flags and bunting, table decorations and larger set pieces like tiki bar frames. You can shop by birthday age, by theme, or by the type of decoration you need.
A: Start with the occasion. We have milestone birthday sets for ages like 16th, 18th, 40th, 50th and 60th, plus themed pieces for events like Hawaiian and football. Pick a main feature such as a banner or backdrop first, then add signs, flags and table decorations to match.
A: Yes. We have dedicated ranges for several milestone ages, including 16th, 18th, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with matching banners, signs and table decorations so the numbers and colours tie together.
A: Sizes vary by product and are listed on each page. As a guide, our foil birthday banners come in lengths around 2.7m, door covers are roughly 66cm x 152cm, and the polyester flags are commonly 5 x 3 ft. Always check the individual product for exact measurements.
A: Many of our party signs and door covers are made from PVC, which is lightweight and easy to hang. Banners are often foil or paper, and flags are polyester. The material is shown on each product page.
A: Yes. Some pieces, such as our sailboard backdrops, can be personalised with your own wording. Look for personalised options on the product page, and see our Personalised range for more custom banners and signs.
A: Yes. Items like polyester flags, bunting and bamboo tiki torches are made for outdoor settings. Indoor pieces such as foil banners and door covers are best kept sheltered.
A: A large foil banner or party sign makes the main feature, then add matching table decorations and a door cover on the entrance. Our age-specific ranges keep the numbers and colours consistent across each piece.
A: We have themed set pieces to build a look quickly. A tiki bar frame, torches and flower garlands suit a Hawaiian party, while flags and bunting work well for football or a World Cup gathering.
A: A door cover is the quickest way to transform a doorway. Pair it with a banner above the frame and a party sign nearby to greet guests as they arrive.
A: Our sailboard backdrops give a printed feature for photos, and many can be personalised. Photo holders and props help set up a simple photo corner for guests.
A: Support the banner at several points rather than just the two ends, and use low-tack tape or small hooks. Pulling it taut from only the corners is the usual cause of tears.
A: PVC relaxes at room temperature, so lay it flat or hang it a few hours before the party and most creases drop out. Do not iron it. Gentle warmth from a hairdryer on a low setting held well back can help stubborn folds.
A: Polyester flags hold up well outdoors for a party or event, but long spells of strong sun and wet weather will wear any fabric over time. Bring them in after the event to keep the colours fresh.
A: Tiki torches use an open flame, so only use them outdoors, keep them well away from banners, bunting and anything that can catch, and never leave them lit unattended. Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
A: Most banners, signs and table decorations are fine for family parties, but small parts and any flame-based items like torches should be kept away from young children. Always supervise children around decorations.
A: Many pieces are made to reuse. Polyester flags, bunting, tiki bar frames and torches can be stored and brought out again, which cuts down on waste compared with single-use items.
A: PVC is not widely accepted in household recycling, so we would rather you kept and reused these pieces where you can. Paper based banners and card items are easier to recycle through kerbside collection.
A: Balloons are the usual next step to fill out the space, and matching Tableware and catering ties the tables together. Browse those ranges to build a coordinated setup.
A: Foil and latex balloons need helium to float. Our Helium gas range has disposable canisters and balloon packages, or you can air-fill many designs to stand or hang.
A: Take a look at Party Accessories for poppers, confetti cannons, sparklers and candles, and Party bags to send younger guests home with a treat.
