Author: Magdalena RabaWielki Dzień, a wedding decoration studio in the Tri-City
We will prepare decorations for a 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th birthday, a surprise party or a child’s birthday: number balloons, a photo backdrop, flowers and table decorations. We bring everything to the location and decorate it ourselves, whether a flat in Wrzeszcz, a restaurant in Sopot or a hired venue in Kashubia.

Example birthday decoration packages
Each package is designed for a different occasion: a milestone birthday in a restaurant, a surprise at home, a child’s birthday or a quiet dinner with flowers on the table. We will match the colours, balloon numbers and signs to the birthday person and to whether you are planning a lively party or a family meal.
A milestone birthday in a restaurant
For a 30th, 40th or 50th in a restaurant or hired venue. Numbers, a backdrop and flowers in one palette make it clear whose celebration it is as soon as guests arrive.
- A photo backdrop with large balloon numbers
- Balloons at the entrance and above the birthday person’s seat
- Flowers in low vases on every table
- An arrangement beside the cake and on the gift table
- A welcome board with the birthday person’s name
Best for: Families and friends celebrating in Gdańsk, Sopot or Gdynia who do not want to spend the afternoon before the party inflating balloons.

- A photo backdrop with the child’s name
- Decorations for the cake table and gift corner

These sets are a starting point rather than a fixed price list: we tailor each one to your date, venue, colours and number of guests, and you can combine elements from different sets.
Birthday ideas for different ages
A decade-themed backdrop
A birthday photo backdrop can evoke the years when the birthday person grew up: the 1980s for a 50th, the 1990s for a 40th or the early 2000s for a 30th. Add colours, patterns and phrases from that era and large balloon numbers, and guests immediately know where to pose.
Flowers in a favourite colour
Rather than a random palette, choose the colour the birthday person loves most and wears most often. Flowers, balloons and a runner in shades of that one colour look calmer than a rainbow and immediately evoke that person.
A table of old photographs
Ask the family for a few photos from each decade: nursery, university, a first flat, holidays with the children. Bring them printed and we will arrange them on a separate table among flowers and numbers. They make a good conversation starter for guests who do not know each other.
A “then and now” corner
Two photos side by side: the birthday person years ago and today, in the same pose. We will prepare a backdrop in the party colours and a place for the printed old photo, while guests help recreate the pose. At a 50th, this could be the funniest part of the evening.
One theme for a child’s birthday
For children’s birthday decorations, one theme works better than five: dinosaurs, space, the sea or a favourite colour. We will coordinate the balloons, backdrop and table so the decorations do not blend into the colourful toys and young guests’ clothes.
A birthday in the garden or on the terrace
In summer, parties often move outdoors. Garlands secured to a pergola or fence and flowers in heavy vases work better there than individual helium balloons that the wind can easily catch.
How to prepare a surprise party
The hardest parts of a surprise are timing and keys. Someone close takes the birthday person out at an agreed time and makes sure they do not return early, while someone else lets us in. Before the party, we agree with the organiser who has the keys, where we can park, which way we bring in the balloons and how we will confirm everything is ready.
Invite guests earlier than the birthday person, allowing time for backdrop photos and hiding in the living room. We plan the decorations so they do not give the surprise away: helium balloons stay away from windows, and the name sign goes where it cannot be seen from the street or stairwell. Also decide who will take the photo as the birthday person opens the door, because that expression cannot be repeated.
What affects the price of birthday decorations
The main factors are the size and number of decorations: a backdrop with numbers alone differs from a backdrop, balloons throughout the venue and flowers on every table. The flowers you choose and whether they are in season, personalised names or slogans, and setup time also affect the price. A surprise prepared in a rush needs more hands than a relaxed morning setup.
There is no fixed price list because an intimate birthday at home and a large restaurant reception differ in everything except the occasion. Tell us what matters most, such as a photo backdrop or table flowers, and we will start the proposal there.
How we work
Tell us what you are planning
The occasion, date, venue and approximate number of guests. A photo of the venue, garden or beach is very helpful.
Proposal and quote
We will get back to you within 24 hours with a proposal and quote. Travel costs from Gdańsk are included in the quote from the start, so you know the full amount before booking.
Refining the details
We work with you to choose colours, flowers, signs and accessories, so the set suits your venue and occasion.
Decorating on site
We deliver and install the decorations before your celebration. We agree installation and collection times with you in advance and, if the party is at a venue, with its staff as well.
Frequently asked questions
How much do birthday decorations cost?
We price every party individually. The cost depends on the backdrop size, number of balloons, table flowers, personalised signs and how much time we have to decorate. Send us the date, venue and guest numbers, and we will return with a proposal and quote within 24 hours.
Can we buy just the birthday decorations from you?
No, we do not run a decoration shop. We bring the decorations to the location and set them up ourselves, leaving you free to collect the cake or welcome the first guests. If you prefer, some decorations can also be hired without installation, for collection in Gdańsk.
Will you decorate a birthday outside Gdańsk?
Yes, for example a 40th at a restaurant in Gdynia, a surprise party at a house near Kartuzy or a 70th at a seaside guesthouse. Travel from Gdańsk is charged separately, and we include the cost in the offer alongside the decoration quote from the start.
Can you decorate a flat when nobody is home?
Yes, if you give us the keys or ask a family member or neighbour to let us in. When we finish, we lock the flat and leave the keys as agreed.
Do you provide an entertainer or catering for a child’s birthday?
No. We handle decorations, not the whole birthday organisation: balloons, a photo backdrop, table decorations and flowers. You arrange the entertainer, activities and food yourselves or with the venue, and we leave space in the decorations for games.
What decorations do you suggest for a 40th birthday?
For a 40th, we suggest a photo backdrop with large numbers, balloons in two or three colours and table flowers, plus a 1990s theme if you enjoy themed parties. For 50th and 60th birthdays, we tend to focus on flowers rather than balloons, unless the birthday person prefers a lively party.
Can you prepare a sign with the birthday person’s name?
Yes. We can put the name, age or party slogan on the photo backdrop, a welcome board or foil balloons. We agree on the wording with you before the party.
