Have you ever wondered how those awesome looking party table backdrops were made?

Have you ever wished you could make one yourself, but are concerned that you don’t have the money to splash out on one?

I am definitely someone who can put my hand up both times there. I always knew that a party table backdrop would totally be the star decoration, but I always made excuses that it was too hard, or too expensive or too time consuming.

Does this sound familiar to you?

I am guilty as charged until I realized that this just wasn’t the case.

Now I will NEVER have a food table without a backdrop behind it.

WHY?

Well for the simple reasons that a party table backdrop is:

  • Simple to organize
  • Completely budget friendly
  • Won’t consume a lot of time
  • And it WILL look totally amazeballs.

I think that is enough reason to be getting on with don’t you?

If you have never used a party table backdrop, now is the time to completely change that. These ideas are all easy to replicate and once you have made one you will never look back.

Are you ready?

This DIY awning and table backdrop is one of those backdrops that would drop jaws. Ok, so this is probably the hardest backdrop here and it will take a bit of handy work to put together, but I think you will agree that the result is definitely worthwhile.

There are so many ways that you could use this backdrop. For a candy, ice cream or lemonade stall. Or you could use it as a backdrop to a shop, a garage or even a barn. Use the main structure and be creative with the decor to completely change up the look.

This is a party table backdrop that you can have a whole lot of creative fun with.

With these simple party backdrop ideas, there really is no reason why you can’t create an amazing backdrop at your next celebration.

If you are not feeling confident enough to go the whole hog with this, then just put a “little something” up on the wall behind the food table. It could be as simple as a few paper fans, a tissue paper garland or a party banner.

Having something behind the table will just bring a bit more excitement to the eye.

Otherwise I hope that you will be able to use some of this inspiration and try out one of these table backdrops for the first time.
