Choosing Light-Up Numbers for Your Celebration
A practical guide to choosing your numbers, planning the display and arranging transport for your celebration.
On this page
A milestone birthday, anniversary or big celebration deserves a number worth photographing. Four-foot light-up numbers can give your party a clear focal point without needing a complicated display.
Start with the number and the space
Choose the digits you need, then think about where guests will see them. A space near the celebration area can work well, provided it does not obstruct doors, walkways or venue equipment. Ask your venue about suitable positions and power before deciding on the setup.
Think about photographs
A simple background can let the numbers stand out. Balloons can add colour, but are an extra decoration rather than something automatically included with number hire. Ask us about balloon add-ons through Sweethearts if you would like to explore that option.
Check each digit is available
Number stock is limited, especially when a display uses the same digit more than once. Tell us your exact number and event date so availability can be checked for the full hire window.
Plan the journey as well as the party
Four-foot props need suitable transport and careful handling. If you are collecting, check your vehicle space and agree collection and return times. If you would prefer delivery, provide the venue address and access details so the charge can be confirmed.
