40th Birthday Balloon Decor in Swadlincote, Burton & Ashby

Planning a 40th birthday setup
For a 40th the top table or the cake table is usually the focal point. A 6ft sequin wall behind it gives you a clean, shimmering backdrop, and a 4ft organic garland softens the edges so the whole thing looks designed rather than hung.
A double light-up 40 stands beside the wall. If the room is large, step up to the 2.4m sequin wall or a longer garland (they go up to 16ft). If you want a message on the wall, add a “happy birthday” LED sign for £20.
Send us the date, the venue or the town and your colours, and tell us where the top table will be. If you are hiring a room, put the set-up time in the notes box and we will plan around it.

Welcome easels for a 40th birthday
Put the name, the big 40 and the date on a welcome easel at the entrance. A black welcome board with gold lettering suits a black and gold or burgundy and gold palette, and it stands beside the sequin wall so the entrance sets up the room.
Welcome easel hire
from £110A gold antique-style easel or a white A-frame easel, with a black or white round or square welcome board and vinyl lettering in one colour. We deliver, set up and collect.
Tell us the board you want (black or white, round or square) and your wording in “Anything we should know?” in the form below.
