Strawberry Shortcake Party Decorations
Presentation can make a big difference between a hit and a miss, and parties are no exception. If you're planning a Strawberry Shortcake party, festive decorations will help create an enchanting mood in line with your party theme. With a little effort, you can make your own home look like it sits in the heart of Berry Bitty City. Does this Spark an idea?

Balloons
-
Bright red balloons can look just like clusters of strawberries with a little help. Use a permanent black marker to make small dots all over the balloons to represent strawberry seeds, and tie green ribbons to them. You can cluster these strawberries in the corners of the room or on the backs of chairs. If you don't have a helium tank, tape strawberry balloons around the room. Drape green and pink crepe paper strips along the walls, and space the balloons out between the scallops.
Lights
-
Make use of your holiday string lights for your party. If you have red light strings, hang them around the party place for a bit of extra pizzazz. You can replace one or two lamps with red bulbs to cast a warm glow on the shade, walls and furniture.
-
Scents
-
Infuse your home with the delectable scent of strawberries in honor of the theme. Use a strawberry-scented air freshener spray, burn strawberry incense or simmer a strawberry-scented potpourri somewhere safe while the party is going on. This added dimension to your preparations will really make an impact on your guests.
Table Decor
-
You can use Strawberry Shortcake's color scheme to put together a beautiful table by mixing and matching. For example, choose a white tablecloth, pink plates and plastic flatware, red cake dishes and cups and bright green napkins. If your child has a different favorite Strawberry Shortcake character, model the color scheme after her instead. For example, if your child loves Orange Blossom, use orange, pink and white.
Licensed Merchandise
-
Even if you're on a budget, you can tie all the other generic decorations together by throwing in some licensed merchandise of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends. Crown the table with a Strawberry Shortcake centerpiece. Hang a Strawberry Shortcake poster as a focal point of the room. Give out Strawberry Shortcake goody bags at the end of the party.
