At carnival buffets are extremely popular with your guests. To represent the party here too, you can decorate the table in a festive and colorful way. How about a colorful tablecloth, for example, with a confetti or balloon pattern? The tablecloth will match the theme and at the same time protect the table from food scraps and other spills.
Moreover, you don't even have to clean paper tablecloths - they can be disposed of directly. Scatter streamers and garlands between dishes for that real carnival flair. However, watch out for open flames in hot plates - after all, you don't want the decorations to catch fire.
Tip #2: Matching table decoration
In addition to the buffet table, you can also decorate the tables of your guests to match the ambience. Place garlands and streamers here as well. Especially when it gets darker, candles provide the right mood. You can go for real wax candles, but LEDs are a bit safer for boisterous celebrations. With LED candles there is no fire hazard, because they do not have a real flame, but glow electronically. Another advantage: many models can also change color and thus glow beautifully colorful and matching the carnival theme. Also paper napkins are safer with LED candles and can not catch fire.
Tip #3: Colorful napkins
If there is food at the carnival party, napkins are a must. They serve not only as a means to an end, but also contribute to the mood. Which colors and patterns you choose is entirely up to you. You can also mix colors - at carnival it can be crazy and colorful. For boisterous parties, paper napkins are best in terms of material, because you do not need to wash them, but can simply dispose of them.
Napkins can be bought already pre-folded, but you can also fold different shapes yourself. At Duni you will find tips and instructions for different folding techniques. It is also best to use cardboard for the plates. This reduces the risk of injury to your guests, for example if dishes break and end up on the dance floor.
Tip #4: Make carnival decorations yourself
If you want to decorate your premises for the carnival party, you do not need to spend a fortune on party supplies. With simple tricks of the trade, you can easily make your own decorations from materials such as napkins. For example, fold several napkins into a fan and connect them with glue to form a circle. The small colored rings are best glued on or simply placed on the tables. Conventional drinking glasses and cups can be transformed into colorful glasses by gluing confetti on them. This works best with cardboard cups, which will be disposed of after the party anyway.
Tip #5: Balloons and fairy lights
Once you have decorated the tables and the buffet, the only thing missing is decoration on the walls and ceiling. Especially beautiful are large, colorful balloons filled with helium. You can also hang so-called honeycomb balls on the ceiling. They come in many different colors.Fairy lights on the walls and wrapped around wooden beams look atmospheric and provide indirect light. Especially fairy lights that can change color are a hit at any party.
