Decorating for a party means lots of balloons, streamers, table cloths, maybe a garland or two but what about the front door? If you really want to make an impact you need to WOW your guests before they even walk in. Forget about just throwing some balloons on the letterbox – we’ve got some great ideas to take your party decorating skills to the next level.
Here are our top ten ideas to give your front door the WOW factor.

I can see a rainbow
Red and yellow and pink and green. Make all the colours of the rainbow at your front door with tulle. And the front door ruffles are simply crushed up layers of tissue paper – cheap and effective, we like! (via Kristen Unraveled)

Go back to Medieval times and bring down the drawbridge for a knightly celebration. Mini dragon slayers will love this theatrical entrance for their birthday party. (via Deborah Poole-Hoffman)
