What kinds of party decorations are there?

Decorations are essential to setting the celebratory mood that parties need, and are especially important if you have a party theme. Here are some of the main decorations for party events that you'll find at Spotlight.


Latex and foil balloons

The quintessential party decoration, if you have nothing else then you've got to have balloons! Spotlight has a great selection of latex balloons and foil balloons for parties, with great varieties in colour for the former and heaps of cool shapes and prints for the latter. Spotlight has helium tanks for sale or rent, and we can even blow up or deliver your balloons for you - so there's no excuse not to have some of this delightful décor at your party!


Banners, garlands and streamers

Whether they're draped along the ceiling, a wall or across a doorway, buntings, garlands and streamers are a lovely way to create an atmosphere in any space. Our buntings and garlands are themed around birthdays and events like baby showers, weddings, birthdays and annual holidays, so there's something for every celebration.


Backdrops

Ideal for snapping that perfect photo, a hanging backdrop can be placed against a flat wall to create a gorgeous background for your event. We have balloon, streamer and balloon/streamer combo backdrops in beautiful colours you can choose from, and these backdrops can also be used to accentuate the other decorations for party events you own.


Lanterns and lights

Paper hanging lanterns are a unique, textured decoration that you can hang from the ceiling or across the edge of a verandah. They come in a huge range of colours and textured designs, with each one having a unique hanging tassel as well.

Spotlight also has a great range of party lights you can use in your event. We have coloured fairy lights, solar lights and colour-change globes you can use to create certain moods or to highlight areas of your event, and they work well indoors as well as outside.


Table cloths and centrepieces

Whether it's laden with presents or food, your party table should be just as kitted out as the rest of your home during a celebration! Spotlight's range of table decorations and centrepieces includes name cards, bonbon crackers, table cloths and party scatters, as well as impressive centrepieces to draw the eye.
