DIY Taylor Swift Birthday Invitations
Kick off the celebration with some fun and creative invitations. Use Taylor Swift album covers and pastel colors to set the tone. You can find adorable printable invitations online, or make your own using red lipstick and glitter for a unique vibe. Adding some Taylor Swift Easter eggs in the design will delight fellow Swifties.
Taylor Swift Birthday Decorations
Transform your living room into a magical realm reminiscent of Taylor’s concerts and music videos. Here’s how:
Color Scheme
Use pastel colors inspired by Taylor’s albums. Incorporate shades of pink, lavender, and light blue to create a dreamy, Swiftie-approved atmosphere. Don’t forget to add lots of sparkle!
Fairy Lights and Disco Balls
Create a whimsical atmosphere with fairy lights draped around the room and disco balls hanging from the ceiling to mimic the sparkle and fun of Taylor’s concerts. Too difficult to hang disco balls? Place disco balls on the table instead and grab a few of these fun disco lights to make the whole room feel like an instant party.
Photo Booth
Set up a photo booth with Taylor Swift-themed decorations like a red carpet, oversized sunglasses, and a cardboard cutout of Taylor. Add props like feather boas, guitars and microphones for kids to pose with. Download these free printable signs to make your party photos extra special.
Table Settings
Use Taylor Swift party decorations, such as a silver Disco ball table runner with place settings featuring heart-shaped sunglasses. Include themed paper goods like plates, napkins, and cups adorned with Taylor’s album art. Or for a more subtle look go with pastel rainbow and silver sparkly disco ball plates layered together for a fun look.
Album Cover Art
Display Taylor’s discography as part of the decor, or print off pictures from the Internet to tape to the walls. Another fun idea is to thrift some old guitars and paint them to represent the different “Eras.” This adds a personal touch and gives the room a unique vibe that any Swiftie would love.
Taylor Swift Themed Food Ideas & Snacks
Delight your party guests with these fun things, each inspired by one of Taylor Swift’s albums:
Taylor Swift (Debut Album): Butterfly Sandwiches
Create mini sandwiches using butterfly-shaped cookie cutters. Fill them with classic favorites like peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese.
Fearless: “Fearless” Golden Cheese Pizza
Offer a pizza bar with plain cheese pizza where kids can add their favorite toppings.
Speak Now: “Enchanted” Apple Slices
Sliced apples with caramel dip, sprinkled with edible glitter.
Red: “Red” Velvet Cupcakes or Cookies
Make red velvet mini cupcakes or cookies. Even more fun if they’re lip shaped! Decorate with red lipstick-colored frosting.
1989: “Blank Space” Lemonade
Refreshing blue raspberry lemonade with colorful straws. Make a sparkling punch with lemonade, blue raspberry Hawaiian Punch, Sprite (or Sparkling Water) and some vanilla ice cream to look like clouds.
Reputation: “Look What You Made Me Do” Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Set out fun karaoke microphones (or these fake ones) and some sparkly outfits to really get into the performance.
Dance Party
Have a dance-off to Taylor’s music, featuring popular tracks from each of her albums. Include a disco ball and some colorful lights to create a party atmosphere that will get everyone on their feet and dancing. I used paper mache letters from Hobby Lobby to spell out “DANCE” and painted them black with silver glitter to really set the stage.
Craft Station
Create a friendship bracelet making station with letter beads, inspired by Taylor’s version of “Lover.” Provide a variety of beads and strings so kids can design their own bracelets to take home as a memorable keepsake from the party.
