A quick guide from your local balloon artist at *Confetti Party Guildford about Number Balloon

We all love a great birthday party! 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 even 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. Here’s a cheerful guide to help you pick the right ones for your next event.

What Size Number Balloons Should I Get?

The most popular choice 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. Browse our number balloon collection here.

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 and white or navy and gold for milestone birthdays.

Foil Balloons with Numbers Printed On Them

Round or star-shaped foil balloons with fun fonts can be great for kids’ parties. They create a lighter, air-filled bouquet that’s playful.

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 are seriously popular for milestone birthdays like:

18th and 21st parties
30th, 40th, 50th, and beyond
Garden parties and event halls
Evening celebrations with low lighting

You can hire them easily. They look amazing when paired with a balloon arch or a balloon bouquet.
