the how

Choose from curtains (2 pieces) or backdrop style
Curtain style is useful if you want to gather and tie sections into bunches or separate like curtains at each end of your dessert table (see photos below)
These look best hung from a backdrop stand or with a curtain rod attached to the wall with damage-free adhesive hooks
Check out my separate page of Backdrop Stands, Frames, and Fixings for help hanging your backdrop
I recommend framing the side / top edge or corners with balloons, flowers, or foliage to blend and hanging a banner or sign in the center

the why

AS PERIMETER / WALL DECORATIONS

Transformative; helps transform a domestic space or empty venue into a party environment
Masking; helps hide or distract from existing or incompatible room décor
Size; can help dress large areas
Atmospheric; perimeter decorations are important early on, before the room fills up, to help create a party atmosphere and ensure it feels like a special occasion
Intimacy; helps define the party space and envelope guests to create an intimate atmosphere

the why

as a backdrop

Value; allows you to create a large, eye-catching, feature wall / display
Maximize budget; by concentrating decorations around one larger display rather than dress entire room
Impact; a backdrop creates a strong visual impact, turning a bar / food table into a display
Special; a dessert / buffet table with no backdrop can look a bit sad, lacking, or underwhelming
Visibility; backdrops help identify the location of bars and food stations in large or crowded rooms
Focal points; more visible bars and food stations encourage mingling by creating destinations for guests to explore
Versatile; a backdrop to a dessert / buffet table or bar can double as a photo booth backdrop later in the evening

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Whether you’re using as a backdrop to a table / bar or to dress walls in a larger room, these look best if you ‘frame’ or ‘blend’ the edges with additional decorations; be it bunches of balloons, balloon garlands, artificial flowers / garlands / vines, or paper flower decorations (check out the links at the end of this post).

This helps soften the harsh side edges—where the backdrop ends and it meets the wall—so it blends into the surrounding decor and doesn’t just look like a panel on the wall.

Plus they can help hide the legs, sides, and crossbeam if you’re using a backdrop stand or frame.

You can also personalize these backdrops by pairing them with a custom name sign. Check out my round-up of creative party signs here or preview some in the images below.“
