Milestones
Milestone Birthdays
Sweet 16s, 21sts, 40ths and 50ths: statement marquee numbers, themed backdrops and a room styled for the photos.
A big number deserves more than a banner
Sixteen, twenty-one, forty, fifty. These are the birthdays people dress up for, travel for and take a hundred photos at. They are also the ones where a store-bought banner and a bag of balloons make the number feel smaller than it is.
The trouble is that a milestone room has to work in pictures. A number that is too small disappears, a backdrop that clashes with the dress distracts, and a host who is still blowing up balloons at the hour of the party has no time to be the host.

What goes into the room
Milestone birthday packages are built around the guest of honor. Statement numbers, neon signs and themed backdrops sit at the center, with balloon work, linens and tables styled around them in colors you pick. Sweet 16s, 21sts, 40ths and 50ths each get their own look, from glam gold to a color story that is entirely theirs.
A throne chair can anchor the photo spot, and we position everything so the best angle in the room is the one with the birthday number behind it. Our crew builds on site before the event starts, then breaks it all down after, so there is nothing for you to carry, hang or return.
Booking the date
Book three to four weeks ahead for a standard party. Weekend dates and throne chairs book first, so earlier is better in peak season. You can book the milestone package alone, or bundle it with balloons, linens and a staffed station for one coordinated quote.
Quotes are complimentary, itemized and no-obligation, usually back within one business day, with no deposit to get one. Guest count, date and season, venue and travel from Somerdale, the pieces you choose and any custom work shape the number. A deposit holds your date, and delivery, setup, styling and breakdown are included.
Every milestone birthday package is quoted line by line, so you see the number, the backdrop and the room before you commit.

Every number gets its own room.
Tell us the age, the colors and the guest list. We design the backdrop, the number and the tables to match, and we set it up before anyone walks in.
