As the resident event planner in my home, I have my hands in just about every celebration that takes place under our roof. With three daughters and a large extended family, we host. A lot. And for so many wonderful holidays, occasions, and most importantly, people.
But by far, my favorite events to plan are my daughters’ birthdays. Over the years, we’ve used all kinds of fun themes (tea party, tropical, pink lemonade stand, gymnastics, princess, girl power – shall I go on?).
As they’ve aged, it’s been extra fun to collaborate with them on their parties. I love the memories made in both the planning and at the event itself. After all, that’s why we host events, right? To mark a moment and make wonderful memories?
Finding great birthday party supplies online is the first step to creating a successful event, after deciding the theme. I will share my picks from Amazon and Etsy. Some I’ve tried and some are “in my cart” to maybe purchase in the future. I hope this curated birthday party supply list helps you find a few special goodies for your birthday party!

This post is all about birthday party supplies online from Amazon and Etsy.
Birthday Candles
What’s a birthday party without candles (and some bad singing – at least in our house!)? There are so many fun options on the market today that go way beyond the tiny primary color candles of my youth. Tall is definitely in – and there’s a color for any palette.
Paper Plates
Paper plates give party planners the fun of temporarily having the exact perfect plate for an occasion, without having to spend a fortune on a “real” set. Oh, and they make clean-up a whole lot easier! There are so many elevated paper plate options perfect for birthday parties. Here are just a few of mine!
Cutlery
Disposable cutlery has gotten an upgrade. You not only have a choice in color but also aesthetic. Some look so good it’s hard to believe are actually disposable! Whether your birthday party is an elegant sit-down meal or a rumpus of hyper kiddos, there’s likely an option that’s just the thing for your theme.
Disposable Drinking Cups
No matter what you’re serving, cute drinkware makes it taste better. Okay, maybe it’s just in my head – but presentation IS everything, right!? The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice style for function when using disposable cups.
Birthday Party Napkins
Paper napkins come in all shapes and sizes. Go beyond the traditional square and choose a conversation-starter napkin for your party!
Disposable Tablecloths
Ease your mind about spills, and use a paper tablecloth for your next birthday celebration. Disposable tablecloths will make cleanup a cinch. Luckily, just as with the other party items we’re talking about today, there are loads of well-designed table coverings available!
Cake Toppers
Why stop at candles or icing writing when you can add an adorable topper to your sweet treat? Your birthday party supplies checklist should definitely include a unique cake or cupcake picks that will make your party stand out.
Banners and Garland
No-brainer birthday party decor items are banners and garland. Use them to frame your dessert table or create a backdrop for photos. There are so many cute options! Here are just a few of my favorites!
Birthday Ceiling Installations
Ready to take your party over the top – or, well, TO the top? Try a ceiling installation over your party table or where the guest-of-honor will hang out and open their gifts.
Balloons
If a birthday party is held without balloons, did it happen? Okay, sure, you could get away with skipping balloons. But what fun would that be? – especially with so many adorable, festive designs out there!
Favor Bags
Choosing a cute favor bag is almost as much fun as deciding what to fill it with! Send your guests home with a stylish and thoughtful treat. To help you with your birthday supplies checklist, here are a few options to consider!
Crowns and Hats
Crown the guest of honor, or supply a hat for each guest. Either way, it will make your party WAY more festive – and a darling photo op!
Little Extras
Sprinkle in some extra fun by adding confetti, crackers, piñatas, and noisemakers (regrettable? maybe – but the kids will have a ball!).
