A tablecloth is not needed only when you have a table - in itself the highlight of the holiday: an antique item, a modern piece of furniture, the surface of which is not allowed to be closed from prying eyes. In any other cases, one should approach the issue of choosing a "base" with all responsibility.

Don't settle for dark colors. Such a gamut is appropriate only if all other elements of the decor act as a bright contrast. A win-win option is pastel colors: they are suitable for all variations and are universal.

Remember that the tablecloth does not have to be a classic fabric that completely covers the tabletop. You can stop at the original options:

lace cut, passing exactly in the middle of the table;
for each of the guests - individual coasters made of paper or wood;
homemade cover made of kraft paper;
placers of book pages fastened together with a stapler.

Candles - we know how to decorate a table for a birthday at home in an atmospheric way!

Candles are a universal element of decor that is suitable for any celebration, except for children. In order to give the holiday an atmosphere of sophistication, a touch of romance and a pinch of creativity, special knowledge and skills are not required: decorate the table in such a way that you like it. But at the same time, do not forget about the elementary rules of fire safety!

Candles can be the basis of a festive composition: put them in the center of the table. Use both classic coasters and unusual interior items. So, "pills" will look great in glasses / cups filled with coffee beans.

Candles can be placed near the appliances of each of the guests. An ordinary wine glass will help you with this. Turn the glass over and put a “pill” on the leg. Original, unusual, unconventional!

Glass bottles help out anytime, anywhere. In our case, they will make excellent candlesticks. At the same time, it is not necessary to take the same container - take “different-sized” bottles: if there are a lot of them, this “diversity” will add a touch of creativity to the created decor.

The luxury of natural holiday decor elements

Recently, the so-called natural style has become popular. The main idea of this approach is the use of natural ingredients for table setting.

You can take the most ordinary tangerines or oranges, and make any figures from the skins: scatter them on the tablecloth, and the guests will gasp in surprise! However, unpeeled citrus fruits can also create the right holiday atmosphere - to do this, place them in glass containers, ceramic cups, saucers, and place them around the perimeter of the table.

On the plate of each of the guests, put a linen napkin, for which the vine will play the role of a ring.

Winter birthday? Then it's a sin not to use the appropriate paraphernalia: cones and spruce branches.

Well, if the holiday is summer, then there are no options for decoration. You can put literally everything that comes to hand on the table - seamings with jam, wild flowers, fruits and berries on a plate. At the same time, give up traditional flower vases - it is better to place chamomile and cornflowers in ordinary jars (2x, 3x, half a liter).

Don't forget the flowers!

Flowers should be everywhere - in the hands of the birthday man, and on the festive table, and everywhere in the apartment. After all, roses and daisies, peonies and tulips, sunny sunflowers already set the right mood on their own! And if you also try, then the original design of the decor will be created once or twice.

Choose little-known outlandish plants. This will help get rid of template solutions, banal and hackneyed ideas.

Separate the bud from the stem - in this form, the plant can be placed anywhere on the table. The advantage of this kind of "serving" is that flowers without stems do not close the guests from each other, do not interfere with communication, do not clutter up the space.

You can also use petals for decoration. But do not overdo it: if the entire surface of the table is covered with them, this will create certain inconveniences for guests: there is nowhere to put a glass or put a napkin, each wave of the hand is accompanied by another petal falling to the floor. And after a couple of minutes, the table will look far from presentable - with "bald" areas.

Note to the hostess: a few ideas on how to decorate the table with paper napkins (photo attached)

Ordinary napkins can be turned into - there would be a desire! The main thing is not to overdo it: a pile of paper tinsel will be superfluous. Everything is good in moderation.

Hang balloons above the table.
Place colorful paper flowers in vases.
Place paper butterflies near cutlery. Instead of regular warp threads, use bright ribbons.

For those who have decided on the theme of the party, we will show you how to set the table for a birthday at home

The chosen theme for the holiday is solid bonuses for both guests and the birthday person: there is a clear understanding in which direction to move in the design of the celebration; all invitees will come in suitable outfits, which will only enhance the “Wow” effect; photos from the holiday will be bright and unusual!

If a Hawaiian party is voiced, then put pineapple-bananas on the table without fail. Don't forget exotic flowers. Napkins, rings for them, tablecloth - all this should be done in fresh (preferably turquoise) colors.

Or maybe you choose “Cards, money, two barrels”? .. Everything is simple: get several decks of cards from the bins, buy dice, stock up on textiles in red and black colors.

Are you a fan of Italian motives? Then a Venetian celebration is exactly what you need! The main elements of this celebration are masks and candles. Table setting should be done in pastel colors.

You can and should take sweets to a sweet party. They will be everywhere - in bulk on the countertop, in vases and jars, glasses and on the guests' plates. You can make a candy bar - such a corner with desserts will attract adults with a sweet tooth and children. The highlight will be a chocolate fountain in which you can dip fruit.

How to economically decorate a birthday table at home (photo of a few ideas)

Instead of expensive ceramics, use disposable tableware. It is both beautiful, and after that there are no problems in order to wash all these cup plates.

Helium balloons are a win-win option. Attach them to a salt shaker, unused glasses, or a flower arrangement in the middle of the table. The main thing is not to overdo it: 3-4 balls are enough for a long table for 10-12 guests.

Preparing for the birthday is very pleasant. This holiday happens only once a year. Of course, people invite their relatives and friends on this day to celebrate this event. Naturally, for such dear guests, a festive table is laid and the best dishes and drinks are placed on it. But if you want to really surprise your guests, then you should beautifully decorate the festive table. But we will tell you how to do it right in this post.

Fairy tale and folklore decor with ethnic motifs is a great choice for a birthday party

Birthday is not only a pleasant holiday, but also a responsible one. The task of the organizer, whether it be an invited specialist or a person close to the birthday person, is to create an atmosphere of fun and lightness, and table setting plays one of the most important roles in creating this atmosphere. Beautifully, harmoniously and stylishly designed festive table- one more brick in the foundation of not only a great holiday and good mood of the guests, but also the pleasure of the hero of the occasion. Fresh napkins and familiar plates will not surprise anyone, but the original decor and bright accessories will help raise the degree of fun at the party.

The birthday theme is magenta color! “I want guests to see the table and immediately understand that the evening will be special,” says decorator Kim Siebert

We serve the table according to the season

The seasonality of a birthday must be taken into account when setting the table, because these are additional opportunities for using spring flowers or autumn vegetables, linking to a picture outside the window, or, on the contrary, creating “summer in winter”.

So, for example, table setting for a summer birthday will be full of flowers and bright colors.

Themed birthday - the new European fashion

The European fashion for theme parties that has reached the post-Soviet countries is gaining more and more popularity: today, not only weddings, but also birthdays are held using a certain theme and attributes corresponding to it.

Some of the most common birthday themes include:

Pirate parties.

Stilyagi. This theme for a name day is especially popular, because the abundance of colors and brightness in the design of the festive table for such a party creates an amazing effect. Use records instead of coasters, bright napkins and dishes. Replace the names on the cards with funny nicknames: "Michael" instead of "Mikhail" and "Lalya" instead of "Elena".
