Decorations that aren't balloons but look WOW

We're having a small family party at home for my DHs milestone birthday. I'd like it to be special and classy if possible but I don't have a vision so need walked through what to do. I'd like to avoid balloons if possible, especially helium as I'm not keen on the environmental impact.

Any ideas? I put put a tablecloth and a banner for the kids birthday and they are happy with that but I'd like a bit more. I thought about renting those big light up numbers and maybe a pick n mix stand (his favourite) but not sure.

I don't have Instagram but is that the sort of place I might see ideas?

Also I had thought about a small gazebo or something with fairy lights but it's December in Scotland with elderly people attending who I don't think would really enjoy being outside.

Thank you!

Thanks @LaundryWoes

I have a colour scheme in mind as I'm making the cake to that, so will think of the words to describe the theme and go from there. That's really helpful

In terms of balloons and being environmental - a lot of the ones that a modelled or twisted are latex and are fully biodegradable.
