China Themed Girls Birthday: Decorations

Incorporate the vibrant, beautiful colors of China into your party with lively birthday party decor.


China Themed Decorations

If you live in a metropolis, the easiest way to get traditional Chinese decorations is to head to your local Chinatown.

Purchase paper lanterns, colorful kites, delicate Chinese paper cutting banners and bright paper parasols to create a spectacular party setting.

Paper Lanterns:

If you are holding the party in the spring or summertime, string the lanterns outdoors from trees. If the birthday party is indoors, place small hooks in the walls and tie string onto the hooks to string lines of lanterns back and forth across the room.

Square or rectangular lanterns can also be placed on the food table with candles inside for a soft glow.

Butterfly Kites:

Hang butterfly kites from lighting fixtures so that they flutter above the dining and living area. Or take down the artwork and photos currently hanging on your walls and use the nails to hang the butterfly kites flat against the wall.

For outdoor parties, hang the butterflies from trees and fences.

Paper Parasols:

If you can find both, purchase the large paper parasols and the small mini drink parasols. Hang the large parasols upside down at varying heights from trees to create a colorful canopy over the party area. Have a few extra lying around for the girls to play with as well.

Place small paper parasols in Styrofoam balls to create bright decorative balls for the table. Also place the parasols in a piece of fruit to put on the rim of a drinking glass to add a spark of color and excitement to the iced tea beverages.
