We are big on birthdays around here. Decorating the house overnight for the kids to wake up to on their birthdays is a tradition I started when the kids were just toddlers and have continued year after year. We’ve had some fun, themed family get-togethers and even a few full birthday parties. No matter how we’re celebrating, it’s always so much fun to plan, decorate, and party!
While our celebrations have looked a little different lately, one thing hasn’t changed- decorating! Shane is getting a little bit older now {he turned 12 this month} so he’s starting to age out of the cartoon character balloons and kiddie party games. So how exactly do you decorate for a tween’s birthday?

Well for Shane’s recent birthday, I pretty much knocked it out of the park thanks to Big Dot of Happiness. They have so many awesome party supplies that are perfect for kids {and adults!} of all ages. Below are my tips for planning the perfect celebration at home that makes a big impression- but doesn’t take hours of work to pull off!
Personalize it
Big Dot of Happiness has dozens of unique themes, so whether you’re celebrating a tween like I was or someone younger or older, there’s bound to be the perfect line for them. They have a lot of great ones for tweens- our pick was the Game On theme which was perfect for my gamer!

Decorate it
With lots of easy to use options, Big Dot of Happiness has the perfect combination of decorations for your space. Whether you’re decorating at the park, your home, or somewhere else entirely, they have lots of options including bunting banners, décor swirls, and table toppers.

Add a fun activity
My tween is long past the days of pin the tail on the donkey. You know what tweens do like? Taking photos! We had so much fun with the Big Dot of Happiness photo props, which were perfectly themed to our décor and let Shane show his personality!

Keep the party going
Big Dot of Happiness has the perfect takeaway box- the Gable Favor Boxes! Whether you fill them with favors or snacks, they are the perfect way to thank your guests. Or, if you don’t have guests beyond your family, you can fill them with popcorn and pair them with a movie!
Birthday celebrations are meant to celebrate not just the passing year, but the guest of honor themselves. With so many fun themes to choose from, you can really nail the perfect party with Big Dot of Happiness party supplies. And best of all, you won’t have to spend hours putting it all together- everything is super easy to assemble. Everything is made of really high quality materials, so I didn’t have any issues assembling anything!
