Cheap Birthday Party Decorations for Kids at Dollar Tree
Party Supplies
Tablecloths
Dollar Tree has tons of different color tablecloths to brighten up the tables at your party. They are all for a long rectangle table but you can cut or fold them to fit smaller tables.
The tablecloths don’t just come in solid colors either you can get patterned table clothes to go with your child’s birthday theme. Some examples of what you’ll find are Happy Birthday, Princess, and Lego table clothes.
Plates and Napkin
Just like the table clothes you can find solid color plates and napkins and patterned. Use the patterned plates to go along with your themed birthday party or just go with the ones that say Happy Birthday.
Tip: Most of the plates are paper and are strong enough for cake and pizza but if you’re having heavier food you might want one of the plastic plate options.
Forks & Knives – They also have plastic forks and knives but they are not very sturdy. They do work well for cake.
Candles
Pick up candles for your child’s birthday cake. Dollar Tree has candles with numbers, plain and ones that say Happy Birthday. I mix and match to make the cake look fun and give my kids more candles to blow out.
Signs
Pick up Birthday Party signs to hang at your event space or home. The signs really help decorate your party room.
They have yard signs with Happy Birthday too which would help guests find your house. It’s also exciting for the kids to announce to all the neighbors it’s their birthday.
DIY Birthday Sign
Create your own cool birthday candle displays with pool noodles, sharpie, masking tape, and balloons. Everyone will be talking about your awesome birthday decorations. Don’t tell them how easy it is to do.
To make these candles rubber band together the number of pool noodles as your child’s birthday. For instance, if your child is 6 you’d need 6 pool noodles.
Use a small bin as your base to hold the bottom of the noodles
Then blow up a yellow balloon for the top of each pool noodle. With an orange sharpie draw a flame. Tape the balloon with masking tape to the pool noodle.
To hold these up I would suggest putting them against a wall or door. To hold ours up we put a rubber band around a pool noodle and use a binder clip to hold the band to a doorknob.
Finish it off with a Birthday Sign hung above your candles.
Invitations & Thank You Notes
Pick up your birthday party invitations and thank you notes at Dollar Tree. They come in smaller amounts of 8 in a package but with it only being a dollar it’s still cheaper than cards at Target or Party City.
Gift Bags & Wrapping Paper
Stopping spending so much money on gift bags and wrapping paper when you can pick them up at Dollar Tree. They have tons of options and with the savings, you can spend more on the gift.
Birthday Cards
Need a card to go along with your gift. They have tons of options for fun birthday cards for kids and adults. Prices vary from 2 for $1 to $1 per card.
Birthday Party Decorations Ideas
Balloons
Every birthday party needs a few balloons. We have found the helium balloons at Dollar Tree are the best and last forever.
The balloons are generic Happy Birthday balloons but are so much cheaper than buying balloons at Party City. If you don’t need a specifically themed balloon I would pick them up at Dollar Tree. It’s a great place to save some money for your party.
Balloon Holders
While buying balloons make sure to get a weight to tie the balloons down. They always have plain colors and sometimes you’ll find one the shape of a small bag with characters on them such as Legos or Princesses.

The balloon holders also work as fun centerpieces.
Balloon Games
Add fun & cheap Balloon Games to your birthday party. All you need is a bag of balloons to keep the kids entertained.
Streamers
Make your event space or house festive with different color streamers. Tape them across the room and on the birthday child’s chair.
Tip: If you tape them with painter’s tape to the wall you won’t ruin your paint.
Another fun idea is to decorate your child’s door with streamers and balloons. Your kids will love waking up to their door decorated on their birthday. If you like this idea find more meaningful birthday traditions to celebrate your child’s birthday.
Picture Booth
Kids love to take pictures and be silly. They now have picture booth supplies at Dollar Tree. One way to create the picture booth is to hang their large photo prop backgrounds on your wall.
The second way is to use their photo frames (pictured above) and have the kids hold them up while taking a picture. The borders on the photo frames have themes such as sports or princesses.
Goody Bags
All the kids are hoping for a great goody bag after a birthday party. Create fun goody bags without spending a ton of money. First, pick out bags you want to use as goody bags.
Then find items to add to your bags. Here are a few ideas of what to put in your goody bags
