Whether you are hosting your son's or daughter's twelfth birthday party, or that of your niece or nephew, or a younger sibling, the first thing that comes to mind when decorating for this type of event is how much fun it will be, particularly when it involves parties outside and in the backyard. This means planning the entertainment, food, and birthday decor should be fun and easy at some level. Here are some decoration ideas you should have.

 

1. A Colorful Balloon Garland

This is among the great birthday decoration ideas because you don't need many materials for this project: just some string or wire, scissors, and lots of balloons. Add flowers or ribbon to the end if you want an extra special touch.

 

 

2. An Incredibly Fun Photo Booth

If you have ever been to a party with a fun photo booth, then you know how much fun these things are. You can rent one from any party rental company and set it up in your backyard so your guests can take pictures together. If you want to add an element of surprise for your guests, make sure that props are available for them to use in their photos.


3. Pretty Floral Centerpiece

If you're throwing a party for a 12-year-old girl, flowers are among the great backyard birthday party ideas. They'll add color and brightness to your table setting. And if you pick out some vibrant blooms with exciting shapes, you can make them stand out more by placing them in glass vases or candle holders. That way, your flowers won't get lost amid all the other decorations at your party.

 

 

 

4. A Colorful Birthday Banner

When it comes to birthday decor, a colorful banner is one of the easiest ways to add some pizzazz to your party. It's also one of the most affordable. All you need are some fabric markers and a roll of craft paper, and then you can have a professional-looking banner in no time.

A banner is among great backyard birthday party ideas used in several ways during your 12-year-old's party. You can hang it from the ceiling or attach it to the wall, depending on the layout of your venue and where you want guests' eyes drawn during the event. You could also use it as a backdrop for pictures with friends or family members who came to celebrate with your child.

If you have a big backyard, why not use it to create a beautiful food table? You can use natural elements like fruits and berries as decorations or stick with traditional items like plates and glasses. By adding some details here and there (like flowers), you will turn it into one of the most stunning tables at your son's party.

 

 


7. An Inflatable Bounce House

An Inflatable Bounce House is a great way to keep your kids entertained. There are many sizes of bounce houses, from small ones that can fit in a backyard to large ones that can fit in a park. You can also rent a bounce house from local party rental companies.

 

 

 

8. Confetti Cannons

Confetti cannons are one of the most fun birthday decorations you can buy. The best thing about them is that they are inexpensive, so you don't have to spend much money on them. They also come in many birthday decor colors and designs, so there are plenty to choose from. You can even get ones that shoot out glitter instead of confetti if you want something more sophisticated for a more adult party.

Pinatas are some excellent backyard birthday party ideas. Not only do these help keep kids busy while waiting for cake and ice cream, but they also encourage socialization among guests by encouraging children to work together to break open the pinata at the end of the party so they can all share its contents.

10. Bubble Machine

Bubble machines are great birthday party ideas for 12-year-olds. They can add some extra flair to your cake-cutting ceremony or even make an excellent prop for photos. You can use the bubbles as decorations by blowing them up into the air and attaching them with fishing wire or ribbon.

13. Set Up a Dunking Booth

A classic dunking booth is always fun for outdoor party decoration ideas, especially if you have a pool or other water feature in your yard. Set up the booth on a table or platform and ensure ample room for the kids to stand around it. You can also set up several dunking booths throughout the party so that more than one child can participate. Fill each booth with water balloons and have an adult standing by with more balloons in case someone runs out of ammo.
