Roaring Dinosaur Birthday Party Decorations
Dinosaur-Colored Balloon Arch
Balloon arches are incredibly trendy in the 2020s and make a fantastic addition to your decorations. They can serve as an epic backdrop or jazz up an entryway for your guests. Here are two of my favorite color scheme choices that would blend seamlessly with these dinosaur-themed birthday decorations.
Dinosaur Plates & Wrapping Paper/Table Runner
Here are a couple of my favorite dinosaur plates, napkins, and coordinating wrapping paper that you can use as table runners. Adding a plain blue or green plastic tablecloth as the foundation of your tablescape will provide protection and another splash of color to your party table. I enjoy shopping at budget-friendly stores like Dollar Tree, Walmart, or Target to find the perfect plastic tablecloth shade. 💲
Dinosaur Cake Birthday Ideas
Crafting an extraordinary dinosaur birthday cake will elevate your sweetheart’s party to new heights. It serves as a standout centerpiece for the tablescape or a highlight on the food table. Consider adding a playful cake topper, incorporating tiny dinosaurs for a ferocious touch, or opt for adorable cupcakes adorned with whimsical dinos standing oh-so-tall.
If you’re in the Metro-Detroit area and seeking the most INCREDIBLE dinosaur cake masterpiece for your little one’s birthday, you don’t have to look any further! Feel free to contact my favorite baker, Sweet Annie, here, via her Instagram page. She can bring your cake dreams to life! 💚
Dinosaur Garland
Hanging streamers and banners that highlight your special guest of honor help bring all the decorations together. A banner can announce to the guests, “Let’s get the party started!”
More Dinosaur Themed Birthday Ideas & Tips
- Utilize old wooden stumps and slabs to elevate your food and decorations, adding height and visual interest to your staging.
- Incorporate lush green ferns and tall grasses to create a prehistoric, tropical ambiance.
- For girl dinosaur birthday ideas, consider adding touches of pink to the balloons, streamers, cake toppers, and gift bags for a chic and vibrant aesthetic.
- If you’re seeking dinosaur birthday party ideas for 1 year old, consider incorporating the milestone number into the décor, such as with a high chair banner and balloons.
- As previously mentioned, one of my favorite tricks for birthday party décor is using wrapping paper as a table runner. Not only does it look adorable when you find the perfect coordinating print, but it also simplifies cleanup, especially with little ones around. An added bonus: wrap a gift or two in the same wrapping paper to seamlessly tie your theme and color scheme together.
- Incorporate items such as hanging vines, palm branches and trees, and tiki torches to transform your party into a dino safari.
- Pass out safari hats as you welcome the kids to the party.
Dinosaur Birthday Candles
When it comes to birthday candles on the cake, you have options: dino-themed pieces or color-coordinated stick candles. Keep in mind, not all decorations have to be in dinosaur form to complement your party theme.
Designer Tip- I like to mix up the décor to ensure everything coordinates in terms of color and style, rather than sticking to a matchy-matchy look with all the same print. It’s akin to entering a new home and finding identical light fixtures everywhere. While functional, it can lack excitement and may feel uninspired in terms of design and style.
Dinosaur Favor Bags
Having goodie bags for your little guests to take home brings your party full circle. It’s one of those elements that offers a “knock it out of the park” opportunity. They’ll not only remember how beautifully decorated and fun the dinosaur-themed party was, but also reminisce when they enjoy their favor bags.
These are some adorable dinosaur party supplies Amazon has to offer that would coordinate well with the other fun pieces in this post.
Dinosaur Party Favors
Amazon offers adorable dinosaur party favors that you can stuff into the kiddos’ party bags. Other budget-friendly stores with dinosaur goodies include Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Target.
Remember, party favors don’t necessarily have to coordinate with the party’s color scheme. They’re meant to be taken home and enjoyed, so feel free to include anything “dinosaury” in their bags that you’d like.
Money-Saving Tip- Instead of stuffing the party bags with extra goodies, you can place them near the piñata and use them solely to hold the treats for when the kids smash into it.
Dinosaur Balloons and Inflatables
For an extra layer of fun, consider tying a dinosaur balloon to each guest’s party bag, adding more roaralicious excitement for them at home. Alternatively, these would be delightful options to enhance your party decorations, clustered near the food table, dining area, or even the entryway, providing a warm dino-welcome as your guests arrive.
Jurassic World Party Games
To host an unforgettable birthday bash, it’s essential to have engaging activities and games to keep the kids entertained and having a blast. Here are some roaring dinosaur party games to consider for your celebration, from Dinosaur Pin the Tail to dinosaur piñatas. I’ve gathered some of the top-trending dinosaur game ideas that are sure to be a hit with your kid-crew! 🎉
