Eco-Friendly Decorating Ideas: Birthday Parties

I remember when I was a kid I used to count down the days to my birthday.  Now the story is a little different, the older I get the more I dread my birthday but still I am grateful for another year of life and happy to celebrate and plan a good birthday party. Here are some eco-friendly ideas that could also help you save some bucks. :-)

make party hats from newspaper

repurpose denim pockets into a banner, this could be great for a cowboy theme party

make a happy birthday banner using pages from an old book

 decorate using miniature toys according to your theme

 make a garland using rags

send your invitations in envelopes made from comics

make a garland from a kids book 

 or from an outdated map book
