Looking for a great venue for the upcoming birthdays? Whether you want to take your kids' celebration to the next level or please your beloved by giving them the best moments of life, celebrating a birthday in your backyard is a great idea to explore. If you have a backyard, you have a great venue already; the only thing that you need to do is to turn it into a great birthday party spot. How? We will let you know! In this article, we present some of the best and easiest backyard birthday party ideas that would transform your backyard into a welcoming and attractive place for entertaining, no matter what time of the year or the size of the space. In case, if you do not have your backyard, rental backyards are great alternatives to hold your next birthday bash.

**1. Make your backyard party feel special with soothing textiles**

One of the easiest ways to lift your backyard birthday party game and make it feel like a fascinating occasion is to just lay down some attractive table linen. You want to shadow the lines between outdoors and indoors and make the tables outside feel just as special as they would at a usual indoor party. Layer some table clothes on top of each other for a laid-back, countryside feel and match the table decor to that country vibe with some wooden chopping boards, Mason jars, and little vases of sweet-smelling fresh flowers.

**2. Hanging Candles**

When it comes to a backyard party, you will always love the look the hanging candles create. Moreover, just think how special these would look at night, making a lovely glow over the tables. You could easily do such a structure using beams (or for a more subtle look, use wood) and then just hang up the candle holders at various heights to make a lovely ambiance at the dinner table.

**3. Table Decoration With Garden Findings**

The key to producing lovely, country-style backyard table scrapes is using many textures, so place jars of flowers randomly throughout the plates and foods and trail garlands so they fall naturally off the sides. Instead of buying your greenery, have a look around your backyard for decor and make your floral decor. This will make a nice bond between the table design and the surrounding backyard too.

**4. A Camping Vibe**

Even for the adults, there is something so thrilling about camping, and that sense of a backyard party turning into a night sleepover. So pop up a tipi or tent if you have a backyard and surround it with rugs, floor cushions, and chairs to create a nice vacation feel. Get a fire going too as it gets dark and hand out some marshmallows as an after-dinner feast.

**5. Green Theme**

If you want to decorate your backyard for the birthday party, selecting a theme will make it punchier visually. Wish you were having a garden party in the tropics somewhere? Why not re-form a sweet tropical atmosphere with flamboyant accessories and a piñata. Add bright cushions and hanging beautifications, and you are good to go.

**6. Add a shaded area**

It is always a nice idea to have some shaded area at your backyard party for people who do not like being in the sun for too long, or if your visitors want a shaded spot to relax away from the main event.  A gazebo or pergola would do the job, but we are loving sail shades this summer, they are so simple and fashionable and add a twist of beachy vibe to a backyard.

If you want to go for a gazebo or pergola, here is some information to know before making your decision.

Pergolas are the structures that shelter the seating areas or landscaping elements such as walkways. Often, these are rectangle-shaped, but you can also go for squares. One of the easiest ways to find a pergola is by its roof. A pergola has a roof made from horizontal planks of wood or metal. The open roof is flat instead of being angled. Adding a pergola to your backyard for the party has various benefits.

- It is a sophisticated design feature for the outdoor seating area.
- Added over outside park cooking spaces, it delivers protection from the sun.
- Foliage can be developed across the top for sun protection and landscaping
- It adds graphic appeal to a backyard or park.
- They are reasonable and easy to use.
- Vinyl pergolas are long-lasting, need low maintenance, and are water-resistant and rust-resistant.

A gazebo is a shade structure usually octagonal in shape. This open-air shelter includes a rounded roof besides symmetrical columns. Gazebos come in different sizes, and they are normally large enough to accommodate medium-sized gatherings of 20 to 40 people. 

Adding a gazebo to your backyard will likely renovate the look of the space without necessitating a tremendous investment. Businesses that manufacture gazebos typically prepare them against insect invasions since they are alfresco structures. Gazebos are normally manufactured from wood, but you can also go for steel and other metals as per your party idea.

With a bolted roof and solid floor, alfresco gazebos extend your backyard’s capacity to host a horde of events as well as give a place for public gatherings on the off days. Other benefits include:

- Enhance the safety of the backyard by protecting it from outdoor elements.
- Create an extra source of revenue with weddings, parties, and more for the backyard owners
- Add a performance venue for the local concerts or recitals.
- Enhance the attractiveness of your space with a gazebo as a focal point or backyard structure.
- Offer a public gathering place where guests can rest, get out of the elements or meet a like minded person at the party
- Preserve your patio backyard furniture and amenities by placing them under a closed roof. They will withstand water and sun damage much longer.

**7. A night-time backyard party**

To ensure your garden party continues flawlessly into the evening, make plenty of outdoor lighting. Mix and match diverse types, from tea lights to lanterns, for a truly pretty, luminous effect.

**8. Serve Fresh Lemonade**

Nothing screams 'backyard party' like a lemonade dispenser. In addition, it adds such an attractive rustic feel to your backyard birthday party. You can pick them up cheaply on Amazon and make your lemonade easily using just lemons, sugar, and water. It is easy, economical, and pleasing to guests.

**9. Include a Fire Pit**

If you are throwing a backyard birthday party in autumn or winter, having an open fire of some kind always helps to draw everybody together. Marshmallow toasting is one of the great wishes of a cold-weather party, particularly if there are children at the party. 

**10. Hanging Lampshades**

Give your backyard party table a real indoor/outdoor feel with some hanging actual lamp shades above. You could only hang them from string to a tree and wind around a battery-powered fairy light to form a more rustic and lovely version of this beautiful element.

**11. Comfy Seating**

Comfortable seating is mandatory to include in a backyard party since it is for keeping everyone pleased into the evening. We say plenty of cushions is the way to go.  If your seating is naturally hard, for instance, a corner bench or metal set, get some cushions and blankets to make a cozy atmosphere for your guests.

**12. Outdoor Speaker**

Want to just get the party started? You must have music. And while you do not want to irritate all your neighbors with an excessively loud sound, a tinny old speaker will not do, either. Use a portable speaker that you can simply bring out into the backyard and move it around should you need to. Then you just ensure you have a banging playlist all set to play.

**13. Make an outdoor kitchen for live cooking**

If you are more into your al fresco dining, you can think of building an outdoor kitchen. This is a mainly worthwhile deal if you entertain regularly – imagine the time and effort saved by not having to have endless dishes back and forth between your kitchen and backyard.

**14. Backyard Movie Night**

There is nothing like concluding a successful backyard party with a late-night film screening. Precisely, for an outdoor cinema, all is needed is a sheet, or a white wall and an outdoor projector (if you do not know what to go for, check out online some best outdoor projectors), but we think it is the extras that make it all the more special. We love the look of festoon lights and you could add some lanterns to make even more of a lovely glow. In addition, if you are feeling extra, bring out your duvet and hang up a net-made canopy to have an almost outdoor bedroom. Isn’t it dreamy?

**15. Backyard Bar**

Bar stools are so nice and fun and make a cool and warm atmosphere; and – if you are very lucky and have a swimming pool – they can contribute to a poolside bar look that is just perfect for a backyard party.
