Types of 70th Birthday Party Decorations

Balloons, centerpieces and hanging decorations can help make your celebration space more fun, but add a personalized banner to make the party feel extra special to the guest of honor. If you're pressed for space, focus on decorations that can hang on the wall or from the ceiling ¿ these will make it look like you've decked out the space but not inhibit people's movement through the space.

How about a fun 70th birthday photo booth with a silly cardboard stand-up of the birthday person? Add some photo props and costumes for a really fun party activity. And, as a bonus, you'll have plenty of fun photos to share with the birthday person after the party!

A Celebration for the Celebrant

The most important thing to remember about a 70th birthday party is that it should be all about the birthday person. Don't let anyone else take over the planning if they don't want to do things the way the birthday person wants.
