Celebrate the
big number.
Birthday number hire is one of the main services on the site, with milestone ages treated as dedicated customer searches rather than buried inside a generic numbers page.
Built around the age people are actually searching for
Each milestone can eventually have its own landing section or page once we have enough real photography.

Make the number the centrepiece
Numbers alone
Clean and unmistakable. Best where the age itself is the focal point of the party.
Name + age
Combine the milestone number with the guest of honour's first name where the letter stock allows it.
Photo area
Position the numbers where guests naturally gather rather than hiding them at the edge of the room.

Tell us the age, date and venue and we can confirm which number combination is available.
How much space do the letters need?
These measurements are approximate and vary by individual letter or symbol, but they give a useful guide when planning wall space, staging and access.
Most standard letters
Typical size for the majority of the 5ft alphabet letters.
Wider letters & shapes
Approximate size for wider pieces such as W, 4, the heart and Q.
Smaller symbols
Approximate size for smaller symbols such as the hashtag and ampersand.
As a simple rule of thumb, we normally describe the main letters as approximately 5ft tall and around 2½ft wide. Some letters are noticeably wider or narrower, so exact layouts should always be checked before an event.
