Birthday decoration, built around your celebration
The best birthdays happen at home now, and the setup is what turns an ordinary living room into the party. That's the bit we handle for you. You pick a design, a verified decorator arrives with the balloons, the backdrop, the foil name and number, and the lights, builds it all in about an hour, and clears it away once the cake's been cut. Setups start at Rs 1,499, the themes cover every age, and in most areas you can book for the same day. A first birthday, a surprise for your partner, a milestone number for a parent, you choose the look and we take care of the rest.
What's included, and how it works
You don't shop for anything or blow up a single balloon, because everything the design needs comes with the decorator. The booking takes a couple of minutes: pick a setup, add your city and address, choose a date and time, and confirm. We'll call you before the slot, set up in 60 to 90 minutes, and leave the room ready for your guests. And if it's a surprise, just say so when you book, and we'll coordinate quietly so everything's finished before the birthday person walks in.
Birthday themes for every age
Kids and adults want very different birthdays, and the theme is where that shows most. For the little ones, the setups we build most are Cocomelon and Peppa for toddlers, then Jungle, Unicorn, Frozen, Mickey and Minnie, superhero and car themes as they grow up. For adults, black and gold leads by a distance for a grown-up evening, with soft pastels, a clean minimal look and retro themes close behind. Seen something you love on Instagram or Pinterest? Send it across when you book, and we'll tell you honestly whether it works in your space and what it'll cost.
The one thing that makes a birthday setup photograph well
Here's the single most useful thing we've learned after thousands of birthdays. You don't need balloons around the whole room, you need one strong, well-lit backdrop behind the cake table. That's where the cake cutting, the candles and the group photos all happen, so that's where the setup should be richest. A focused backdrop almost always photographs better than a big, scattered one, and it usually costs a little less too. So when you book, point us to where the cake table's going, and that's exactly where the effort lands.
First birthday setups
A first birthday is the one families photograph the most, so it's worth getting right. Picture a soft pastel arch or wall, a big foil number one, a decorated cake table, and a clear corner kept ready for photos. Because everyone's taking pictures all evening, we build around that one strong backdrop rather than spreading balloons thinly around the room. It's a small choice, but it's the difference between lovely first-birthday photos and cluttered ones.
Milestone and adult birthdays
Not every birthday is for a child, and the big adult numbers deserve a look of their own. For an 18th, 21st or 30th, black and gold or a chrome finish sets a grown-up tone, usually with the age in large foil numbers and a lit name board. For a parent's 50th or 60th, families often want something warmer and more dignified, so we lean towards a soft floral backdrop, a printed photo display spanning the years, and a comfortable seat at the centre for the cake and the group picture. Whatever the milestone, share the age and the mood you're after and we'll pitch the design to match, elegant rather than childish.
Simple and budget birthday decoration at home
A birthday doesn't need a big production to feel special. From Rs 1,499 you get a clean, photo-ready look, and for under Rs 2,000 you can have a two-colour balloon wall, a foil Happy Birthday banner, fairy lights and a tidy cake-table corner. These are sized for regular apartment living rooms, and they're a favourite for quiet family birthdays and last-minute plans where the gesture matters more than the scale.
Surprise birthday decoration
A surprise only works if the room's ready and cleared before the birthday person arrives, and that timing is exactly the part we take off your hands. Tell us it's a surprise when you book and we'll plan it quietly with someone at home, whether that's a sibling, a partner or building security. Surprise setups for a partner, a parent or a close friend are among our most-booked designs, and midnight is easily the busiest slot for them.
Same-day and midnight birthday setups
Birthday plans often come together late, and that's completely fine. Same-day birthday decoration runs in most areas as long as you book early in the day. Midnight setups are one of our most-requested slots, with the decorator arriving late in the evening and finishing before twelve, so the room's ready the moment the birthday begins. If that's what you're after, book a few hours ahead and we'll confirm it's available in your city.
Birthday decoration for any space: room, wall, stage or terrace
A birthday setup adapts to wherever you're celebrating. In a living room, a single feature wall behind the cake table does most of the work. For a bigger party, a stage or a named backdrop with the age anchors the room, and terraces or banquet halls take an entry arch and a seating corner. Just share the space when you book and we'll scale the design to it, so it never feels squeezed in or spread too thin.
What birthday decoration costs
Let's talk numbers plainly. Birthday decoration at home starts at Rs 1,499. A simple balloon wall with a banner sits between Rs 1,499 and Rs 2,499, a themed setup with foil balloons, character props and lights runs Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,000, and premium work with a ring backdrop, a lit name board or fresh flowers goes from Rs 5,000 upward. Three things move the price: the balloon count and type, since plain latex is cheapest and chrome and foil cost a little more, the add-ons you choose, and your city. Whatever you see at booking is what you pay, with no visit fee and nothing added on at the door.
| Setup | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Simple, under Rs 2,000 | Rs 1,499 to Rs 1,999 |
| Standard themed | Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,499 |
| With fairy lights | Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,499 |
| Kids theme and character | Rs 2,499 to Rs 8,999 |
| Premium and luxury | Rs 5,000 and above |
Formats and colours that work
Not sure where to start? The formats families reach for most are a named wall behind the cake, an arch over the cake table, a half arch with a big foil number for milestones, a premium ring with a lit name board, and ceiling balloons when wall space is tight. On colour, black and gold reads grown-up, brights and rainbow suit kids, soft pastels are lovely for a first birthday, and rose gold gives a warm, premium finish. Pick the age and theme, and we'll match the palette to it.
