A child's birthday, like any other event, has its own characteristics of table setting and organization of the holiday in general. Also, the design of the celebration is influenced by fashion trends, reflected in the decor and rules of its holding.
But all parents have the opportunity to arrange an unforgettable and vibrant holiday for their child and his guests, which will not only be preserved in the common memory, but will also fit into the budget.
To arrange a magical birthday for your child, first of all, you need:
- Choose a general theme for the holiday. It could be your favorite cartoon, which will immediately determine the color scheme, holiday attributes, and even the child’s outfit. Today, “Frozen”, “Minions”, “Smeshariki” are especially popular, and classic Disney princesses or comics also remain relevant. The theme of the holiday can be a hobby or the child’s desire for some kind of work;
- Choose a room in which a children's table will be organized. This can be the children's room itself, the living room and the kitchen, if its size allows.
- Create a menu with suitable recipes. The table must have an assortment of sweets and all sorts of healthy goodies that will not be difficult for children - mini-formats, tartlets, skewers, canapés are desirable;
- Prepare small gifts for little guests. These can be toys in the general theme of the holiday, sweet gifts, etc. It’s not bad if children can use them immediately during the celebration, and then take them with them - magic wands, pipes, headbands or decorations, etc. You can put them on plates.
The main thing is to start preparing for the children's party as early as possible, so that you have time to check the selected recipes, use or make your own decor, and find everything you need. At the same time, you need to remember that the children's table is not the place for spicy, fatty, overly salted and smoked dishes, plus it is important to find out in advance from the parents of the little guests whether they are allergic to any foods and exclude them from the menu.
There is no need to come up with overly sophisticated dishes, because children may refuse them - they only eat familiar, traditional food with pleasure. And under no circumstances should you try to force one of the children to eat, because such behavior from adults can lead to hysteria, which will ruin the entire holiday.
Table decoration for a children's birthday
Decorating a children's table for holiday gatherings has its own requirements:
- Maintaining the overall color scheme. Regardless of whether a specific theme is chosen for the holiday (cartoons, professions, hobbies, etc.) or a neutral design in the form of stars, hearts, polka dots, etc. is chosen, it is important that the entire table setting matches 2-3 primary colors or shades of choice;
- Decorating the space around and above the table. These can be “Happy Birthday!” garlands, paper decorations, paper or fabric backgrounds, figurines, flowers, etc.;
- Selecting the right cookware. You will definitely need plates, cutlery, glasses, shelves for sweets and fruits, a cake stand, vases for sweets, and trays and more dishes may also come in handy. But for reasons of convenience and safety, it is better to choose paper or plastic dishes, which can be made in the colors of the holiday. No - universal white will do;
- Making a festive tablecloth. It should also fit into the color scheme, so you should not purchase a tablecloth separately for one holiday. It could even be a disposable oilcloth, if it suits the theme, but even the simplest white tablecloth can be easily decorated with frills or a garland (using a stapler), or painted with watercolors, adding inscriptions and drawings;
- Making decorations for the festive table. We are talking about themed napkins, vases, placemats, decorations for straws, cutlery, cakes and desserts, candlesticks, etc. – all this can be made from scrap materials;
- Decoration of chairs. Chairs are an important attribute of the festive table, for which they need to be draped, tied with bows, decorated with balls, or name plates and other attributes corresponding to the theme should be hung on them.

How to decorate a children's birthday table: ideas, photos
Some of the most relevant themes in children's party decor today are “Princesses” and “Frozen” for girls, “Pirates” and “Minions” for boys.
You can create a fabulous atmosphere of a Disney holiday for a little princess with the help of bright and lush decorations - clusters of balloons, pink bows and ribbons, streamers with inscriptions, draperies of chairs, tables and lampshades, paper garlands. In this case, it is desirable to have more flowers in the design - both live and artificial, and even in pots, as well as cardboard models of castles and towers or posters with drawings of them.
The cartoon “Frozen” won the hearts of all girls, so a holiday in this style will certainly make them the happiest in the world. Here blue and white colors come to the fore, as well as any imitations of snow and ice.
Snowdrifts made of padding polyester or other material, cardboard figures painted with glitter paint or covered with shiny adhesive paper, snowflakes made from Christmas decorations, cookies of the same shape, cupcakes with blue cream and sprinkled with silver confectionery sprinkles... And balls.
You can throw a pirate party for your little birthday boy using bandanas, vests and pirate hats, which are sold in many children's stores. You can also find toy daggers and treasure chests there. The treat includes bananas, chocolate coins, snacks with seafood and caviar (you can imitate it).
“Minions” are adored by all children, so decorating a children’s birthday in this style is suitable not only for boys, but also for mixed holidays. It is advisable to find minion hats or masks for all guests, but you can simply print out their images from the Internet and hang them on the walls.

If you are preparing salads, then before serving, place them in small salad bowls or shortcrust pastry baskets. Salads served in transparent cups look very nice. A great idea is to organize a salad bar. To do this, you need to place the chopped ingredients on separate plates - boiled potatoes, beets, carrots, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, canned corn and green peas, meat, chicken, sausage, boiled eggs, herbs, etc. And dressings for them - homemade mayonnaise, sour cream, butter. The children themselves serve what they like and mix their own salads. It is important to offer small plates for culinary experiments so that too much food does not suffer due to failure.
Fruits and desserts can also be placed in portioned cups or, for example, waffle cones.

It’s worth making snacks that are easy to eat with your hands or a fork without a knife, without decorating them with small details. A buffet table set against the wall is ideal. Serve sandwiches and canapés on large trays, and leave room in the room for outdoor games.
Decoration of children's dishes
An important part of the holiday menu is the decoration of children's dishes. It’s good to decorate sandwiches and tartlets with funny faces, animal faces or flowers. Salads should be decorated with strips of vegetables in the form of fireworks. Mashed potatoes can be tinted with beets or spinach and placed in the shape of a house or a car. If you have pastry umbrellas at your disposal, be sure to decorate the dessert bowls with them.
