Answer 1

Hola, Tzuyu

Un detalle a señalar es que en español es más frecuente usar "decoración" en singular.

1. Compro/compraría una bonita falta y zapatos de tacón alto.
2. Me encanta el helado con fruta. (I love suele traducirse al español por "me encanta")
3. La decoración cuesta 400 pesos
4. Pago por la fiesta con efectivo (es lo contrario de "con tarjeta"). También puedes decir: dinero en efectivo.
5. En la mesa de la fiesta hay vasos, platos y servilletas.

Si necesitas más ayuda, no dejes de consultarme.
