Let’s be honest — if you’ve ever planned a party, you’ve probably typed this into Google at 11:47 pm: “How much does balloon decoration cost in Guildford?” You want your celebration to look amazing, but you also want to know: What will it cost me? Is it even worth it?
We get it. At Confetti Party, we hear this question all the time — and we’re not here to give vague answers. We’re here to be honest with you, share some behind-the-scenes insight, and help you plan a party that feels magical without spiralling into “oops-I-blew-the-budget” territory.
What Affects the Cost to Decorate a Party with Balloons in Guildford?
So, what’s the real cost to decorate a party with balloons in Guildford? It depends on the size, style, and setup — but we’re here to break it down honestly.
Here’s what really makes the difference in how much you’ll spend:
1. Scale & Style
Are we talking about a cute little table bouquet for Nan’s birthday? Or a full arch with chrome balloons, custom name cutouts, and themed colours for a Sweet 16?
Small helium bouquets: £14 – £50
Number balloon displays: £30 – £80
Full arches or garlands: £125 – £300+
Organic installations: £300+
2. Balloon Type
We only use premium brands like Sempertex — because they last longer, look better, and are more eco-conscious than supermarket balloons. We also work with gorgeous options like chrome, double-stuffed colours, and even custom prints, which all affect price.
3. Delivery & Setup
Live in Guildford? Our online balloon shop offers delivery from just £10.
Do you need us to install a big arch or backdrop at your venue? The cost starts at around £30, depending on the travel time to your postcode.
But Wait — It’s Not Just Balloons
We’re more than just balloon artists — we also offer a full range of stylish party hire items that can totally transform your space (even if you’re not going balloon-crazy).
Here’s what you can hire:
Personalised Backdrops – from £39
Light-up numbers – from £50
Cake plinths – from £25
Decorative toys like teddy bears and safari animals – from £10
Red carpet & ropes – from £50
These work beautifully with balloons, but also make a strong statement on their own. (And yes, you can rent them without a balloon package.)
We’ve styled baby showers in Burpham, birthdays in Stoke Park, and glam garden parties in Merrow — and sometimes, a themed backdrop, a neon sign, and a cake plinth steal the show.
True Story: Budget, But Make It Beautiful
One of our favourite moments this year? A mum in Guildford rang us, feeling overwhelmed trying to plan her daughter’s Sweet Sixteen. She didn’t have a huge budget, but she wanted something “Insta-worthy” her daughter would remember.
We put together a number balloon stack, a helium bouquet, and added our "Sweet 16” backdrop for hire. Total spend? Just under £120. Her daughter walked in, gasped, and called it “the best birthday ever.” Mum messaged us after:
“You made it feel so special, and you got what I needed. Thank you.”
That’s the goal. Always.
