A quick guide from your local balloon artist at Confetti Party Guildford
We all love a good birthday party — and let’s be honest, no celebration feels complete these days without those big, bold number balloons front and centre. Whether it's a little one turning 1, a sweet 16, or someone fabulous hitting 40 (or 80!), number balloons are the go-to choice for photo ops and wow-factor moments.
At Confetti Party, our balloon workshop in Guildford has styled number balloons for hundreds of celebrations — so here’s a quick and cheerful guide to help you pick the right ones for your next event
What Size Number Balloons Should I Get?
The most popular choice (and definitely the most Instagram-worthy) is the giant 34-inch number balloons.They’re big, bold, and perfect for:
Birthday party centrepieces
Photos next to cakes, gifts or balloon bouquets
Floor or table displays, indoors or outdoors
If you’re short on space or want to mix sizes, we also offer smaller number balloons or foil balloons with printed numbers (more on that below).
What Colours Are Available?
You’ve got options — and we mean lots of them! Our most popular colours include:
Can’t decide? We’re happy to help you match colours to your party theme or create a custom bundle. Some of our clients love mixing tones like rose gold + white, or navy + gold for milestone birthdays.
Foil Balloons with Numbers Printed On Them
Round or star-shaped foil balloons with numbers printed in fun fonts — great for kids’ parties or when you're going for a lighter, air-filled bouquet.
Pro tip: Combine a giant number balloon with a helium latex balloon bouquet — the look is gorgeous and festive without being over the top!
What About Light-Up Number Props?
Okay, so not technically a balloon — but we just had to mention our light-up number hires.They’re seriously popular for milestone birthdays, especially for:
18th and 21st parties
30th, 40th, 50th and beyond
Garden parties and event halls
Evening celebrations with low lighting
You can hire them easily, and they look amazing paired with a balloon arch or balloon bouquet.
