Firetruck Birthday Party Decorations

For the fire truck party theme, the decorations should be red, yellow, and orange. Be sure to have lots of color, flare and brightness that all the kids will enjoy. Remember, to get their input on how THEY would decorate for the party!

The main table: There are several options for the covering on the main table. You could choose a plain colored tablecloth in red, yellow, or orange. Alternatively, you could use “dalmation-spotted” material or fire truck material as a table covering. There are also many fire truck-themed tableware's to consider. You'll want to have paper plates and napkins so why not make them part of the decorations. Check out firetruck paper plates, napkins and cups here. For the centerpieces, use either a fire hat or a stuffed dalmation. Tie red balloons and ribbons to the centerpiece for further decoration.

Fireman / Firetruck Photo Opportunity
A great decoration and party activity is the firetruck photo opportunity. Simply setup a photo-opportunity related to the Firetruck theme. You can buy a firetruck photo-op as picture on the right. Alternatively, you can create you own cardboard firetruck. If you can find a refrigerator cardboard box you can cut into a firetruck and paint it red. The final option is to have a Fireman Station where all the kids get to dress-up like a firefighter. Simply purchase a relatively inexpensive firefighter costume. With each child be sure to take their photo in the photo-op area. Then include that in the thank-you cards to all the kids!

Other decorations: First, put a sign at the end of your driveway that reads “Welcome to Firehouse #1”. Then, line construction cones and yellow tape from the end of the driveway to the party area. Cut red, yellow, and orange flames from tissue paper, and put them in the windows and around for decoration. The more red, yellow, orange and firetruck balloons and streamers that are around, the better!
