Earth Day Party Decoration Ideas

Earth Day began in 1970, the same year that President Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA. A tremendous amount of change has occurred in policies and practices since the first Earth Day, making the environment much safer for everyone. An Earth Day party is a fun way to remind guests of the importance of these environmental efforts.

Color Scheme

Choose a blue and green color scheme to represent the Earth. Provide blue and green cups, plates, streamers and tablecloths. Purchase party supplies made from recycled material if possible.

Inflatable Globes

Hang inflatable globes around the room. You also can use the inflatable globes in place of beach balls for various party games.

Plants

Use plants in decorative pots to decorate for the Earth Day party. The plants can double as favors for your party guests.

Recycled Material Centerpieces

Create centerpieces using items that might normally be thrown away. Turn tin cans into vases, use shredded paper as confetti, or make a sculpture from recyclable materials.

Mural or Poster

Make a mural or poster that depicts the meaning of Earth Day. Use a large piece of paper from a roll, along with markers or paint. Ask each guest to contribute to the mural. Ideas for the mural include what Earth Day means on a personal level and ways each guest can help with environmental conservation.
