Planning a summer party for your little one?

Whether it’s a sunny garden bash, a birthday in the park, or just a get-together with family and friends, the right decorations can completely transform the vibe. We’ve rounded up some of the biggest party decor trends for summer 2025 to help you create an event that’s fun, fresh, and photo-ready — without the stress.

1. Bright, Playful Colour Schemes

2025 is leaning into bold colour palettes. Think hot pinks, turquoise blues, sunshine yellows, and citrusy oranges. These colours don’t just scream summer — they bring instant energy to your space and look amazing in photos.

Tip: Pick one or two main colours and build everything around them, from balloons to tablecloths. Simple and cohesive.

2. Kid-Approved Party Themes

Some themes just never go out of style, and this summer, they’re getting a fresh twist:

• Unicorn Magic (with iridescent details)

• Dinosaur Discoveries (add explorer hats for fun!)

• Bluey & Peppa Pig (TV favourites that never fail)

• Jungle Safari (think animal print bunting)

• Mermaid Lagoon (with seashell accents and blue waves)

Choose what your child loves most and have fun with it.

3. DIY Photo Backdrops & Fun Props

Creating a spot for photos is one of the easiest ways to make your party more memorable. Use streamer curtains, paper fans, balloon garlands, or a simple themed backdrop to turn any space into a mini photo booth.

Bonus: Add in props like party hats or funny glasses for extra laughs.

4. Outdoor-Ready Decor

Summer weather can sometimes be unpredictable (especially if you're based in England like us), so go for party pieces that are lightweight but sturdy — like reusable plastic tableware, bunting, and balloon sticks that hold up in a breeze.

Tip: Peg your decorations down with garden hooks or tape to avoid flyaways.

5. Pre-Planned Party Kits

Feeling overwhelmed? Full party sets are a lifesaver. They include matching tableware, balloons, banners, and more — all in one go. They're also super helpful if you're short on time or planning multiple events this summer.
