Barbie Doll Party Decoration Ideas

There are many ways to create Barbie doll party decorations without purchasing commercial supplies. Parents and teenagers can use their own Barbie fashion dolls to create fun decorations for birthday parties, baby showers and holiday celebrations. These Barbie party decorations can also be used more than once, giving event coordinators an extra way to save money in the long run. Here are four Barbie doll party decoration ideas to customize for fashion, doll and child themed events.

Barbie Place Card Holders
Sit a Barbie doll on the tables, facing each seat that is reserved for guests. The Barbie Dolls should be facing away from the tables, as if they were looking at the chairs. Purchase blank note or place cards that match the color of each specific Barbie Doll. Place cards can also be made at home using colored cardstock and a pair of scissors. Write or print the names of each guest on all place cards. Sit all finished place cards on top of each Barbie Doll's lap and secure them with tape or the doll's hands.

Barbie Doll Balloon Holders
Sit two or three Barbie dolls in the middle of tables or on the ends of any table with a rectangular shape. Using helium filled balloons, tie the balloon strings to the lower arms of each Barbie doll on every table. The string can also be tied near the wrist with each doll's arm adjusted so she is waving hello. Another option for Barbie balloon holders is to tie the string around each doll's waist instead of her arm. Tying strong around the waist may help to keep balloons more secure and prevent the dolls from dropping over.

Barbie Doll Centerpiece
Sit one Barbie Doll in the middle of every table where guests will be seated. Attach the doll to the table using Velcro or tape. Adjust each centerpiece so the Barbie dolls will be holding a tealite candle. The hair on Barbie dolls are flammable, so be careful to keep it away from and candle flames. Styling the doll's hair in a ponytail may help to minimize the risk of any damage to the doll or other Barbie doll party decorations. If the party is for very young children, flowers or small candy can be substituted for candles.
