Decorating for a party where you can't hang anything?

We are renting a room at a community center and realized we can't hang up anything on the walls:
So now I'm wondering how exactly we are going to decorate? Thoughts/ideas/suggestions? |

| Helium balloons held down by weight. Confetti on the tables. Nice tablecloths. |

Yeah, we just taped things anyway, and then took the tape off at the end.
We used some special tape that doesn't peel paint; fun tak. |

| Tablecloths. Tabletop decorations. Agree with PP's suggestion to hold balloons down with weights too. |

+1 we did this at a gym, but not the confetti (what a mess!). It was fine and very festive. |

No confetti either. |

Yep we'll have to since it also includes that we are not allowed to have balloons float to the ceiling. |

Except the little part that says no tape... |

Tie balloons on the back of all the chairs. Then send them home with the kids as party favors. Get them from the Dollar Store. Win-win.
What is the theme of the party? We here at DCUM might be able to help you better knowing what you're aiming for. Oriental Trading has some great free-standing decorations (like card board palm trees, for example). |

It is a kids birthday party - if it is young kids go big with lots of balloons / balls and have these double as a party favor.
Are you allowed to do bubbles? With a bubble machine? |

| Science fair project trip-folds (know what I mean?) set up in corners with the theme. Ours was a 5th Birthday astronaut party, so we had one with planets (cut and pasted on) and one with holes cut out to take pictures behind. |

| I love the look of balloons, but be careful because a lot of the elementary school kids seem to have learned in school how bad they are for the environment. I saw an adult throwing a party chastised by a group of seven year olds. |

| We were at a rec center and did soccer theme. I had tablecloths that looked like grass fields and green plates, etc. We brougt on a collapsible goal and hung his name from top and had soft balls kids could kick into goal. I truly don't think anyone noticed we had not hung any decorations.... |
