Foil number balloons say the age without a sign
Foil number balloons do the job of a banner in two shapes. Stand a 3 and a 0 beside the cake and nobody needs to be told whose thirtieth it is, and every photo of the cutting carries the age with it. Our listing offers a single figure or a pair, in gold, silver or a colour to suit the scheme, and suggests two places for them: flanking a cake table, or low in a balloon arch as its anchor. They are sold, not hired. You keep them after the party, and nothing is collected.
Number foil balloons price: count the digits
Each digit is KSh 400. A first birthday or a 5th takes one number, so KSh 400. A 21st, a 40th or a silver 25th anniversary takes two, KSh 800. A grandmother's 100th takes three, KSh 1,200, and a graduation that spells out the class year, 2026, takes four: KSh 1,600. Repeated digits count twice, so a 22nd or an 11th is still two numbers. Transport is the separate line, priced by distance on your quote.
What size are big number balloons?
Balloons2Go, a US balloon wholesaler, lists three trade sizes. Small numbers of 14 to 16 inches are mostly made to be filled with air only. The standard large digit is 34 to 36 inches, about 86 to 91 cm, and the jumbo is 40 inches, about 102 cm. Put that against a dining table, which stands about 75 cm, and a jumbo digit beside the cake rises well above it. Our listing calls ours large but gives no height, so we confirm it on your quote before you pay.
Do number balloons need helium?
No. The same guide says the big sizes take helium or ordinary air. With helium, a digit floats on a ribbon and needs a weighted base to stay where you put it. Filled with air, it does not float at all; it stands on a balloon stand or an easel, or hangs on fishing line so it looks as if it does. Air is the steadier choice for a garden in the wind or a number set inside a balloon arch. Which way ours are filled for your event is something we confirm when you order, with the stand or weight it needs.
How long do foil number balloons last?
Balloons2Go expects quality foil on helium to float for 12 to 24 hours at the least, and advises filling 2 to 4 hours before the event. So tell us the time guests arrive as well as the date. An air-filled digit has no float to lose and keeps its shape through the party. Can they be reused? The guide says a foil balloon can be let down and kept for your own later use, so a "1" from this year waits for the "2" next year.
Gold number balloons, silver or rose gold
Gold and silver are named in our listing, and a colour can be matched to your scheme. Rose gold and pink are asked for too, so send the colour you want and we confirm what is free on your date. For colour around the digits, add helium balloons in the same shade (KSh 800 per piece), set them inside the balloon entrance arch or the 2 m round backdrop board, or stand them either side of a dressed cake table. Want the age lit up instead? The marquee LED numbers are a different item, not foil. Every other balloon piece is on our birthday balloons Nairobi page.

How reviews work on Sherehe
- Every review is read by our team. We publish good and bad reviews alike — a low star rating is never a reason to hold one back.
- If we have not got to it, a review publishes by itself after 2 days — unless it contains a link, a phone number or words that need a look. Photos always wait for a person.
- Confirmed hire means we matched the review to a real Sherehe booking.
- If we ever correct a review — for example to remove a phone number — it says Edited by Sherehe.
- Nobody is paid or given a discount for a review. If that ever changes, the review will say so.
- Reviewers' contact details are never shown. Visitors can report anything that breaks these rules; reported items go back to our team.
Number balloon questions
How much does a number balloon cost?
KSh 400 per number. Two digits, such as a 21st, come to KSh 800, before transport.
Do number balloons need helium?
No. Large foil numbers take helium or air. Air-filled ones stand on a stand or hang; we confirm how yours come when you order.
What size are your number balloons?
Our listing gives no height. The trade sizes are 34 to 36 inches and 40 inches; we confirm ours on your quote.
Do I return them after the party?
No. They are sold, so they are yours to keep.
Will the colours match the photos exactly?
Very closely, but we would rather be honest about the small print of physical materials. Fresh flowers are natural products and vary slightly in colour, size and shape between batches. Balloon shades vary a little between manufacturers and production runs. And colours on a phone or laptop screen are never a perfect match for the same colour in daylight — that one catches people out more than anything else. Custom designs also need a degree of creative interpretation. Where a particular flower, colour or décor item becomes unavailable we will propose an equivalent, and anything materially different we discuss with you first. For custom boards, signs and printing, please check the proof carefully — once you have approved it, an error in the approved information may cost extra to reproduce.
Can I change my order after paying the deposit?
Yes, and the earlier the better — please give us at least 48 hours where you can. Additions are subject to what is in stock and are invoiced separately; last-minute additions are never guaranteed. Reductions are where it gets more complicated: once we have committed stock, crew and transport to your event, a reduction of more than 10% may not reduce the price proportionally, and customised items already made cannot normally be cancelled.
