Planning an 18th birthday setup

Most 18ths happen in a function room, a hall, the back room of a pub or the family home. A sequin wall is the simplest way to get a proper photo backdrop in any of them: the 2ft wall suits a table or a gift corner, the 6ft wall stands behind the birthday person, and the 2.4m wall covers a whole end of a room.

Add the age. A double light-up 18 puts the number beside the wall, and helium balloons on weights, in sets of 3, 5 or 7, carry the colour across the room. If the party has a theme or a dress code, tell us and we will match the wall and the balloons to it.

Send us the date, the venue or the town, your colours and the age. If you are hiring the room by the hour or the venue has a set-up window, put that in the notes box and we will plan around it.

Prices shown are the current prices. Delivery is free in DE11 and worked out from your postcode below that. Add items to your booking list, then send the enquiry at the bottom of the page.

Welcome easels for an 18th birthday

Put the name, the big 18 and the date on a welcome easel at the entrance. A black welcome board with gold lettering beside a few balloon clusters is a favourite for an 18th, and it pairs with a sequin wall so the party looks finished from the moment guests arrive.

Welcome easel hire
