Marquee Numbers for Birthdays
Giant 4ft light-up milestone numbers — 30, 40, 50, Sweet 16. The photo every LA birthday party ends up posting.
The age in 4-foot letters
Every LA adult milestone has the same hero image — the birthday person, glass in hand, in front of their age in giant glowing numbers. 30, 40, 50. That's the shot. It's what gets posted. It's what gets framed.
We rent 4ft marquee numbers 0–9, deliver to your venue or backyard, set up, and pick up the next morning. Add letters from the alphabet if you want a name too — "MIKE 50", "30 SARAH".
Most-booked birthday configurations
- Sweet 16 — 16 (2 numbers, $160). Cool white, paired with neon signs or pastel decor.
- 21st birthday — 21 ($160). Cool white, modern vibe.
- 30th — 30 ($160). LA's most-booked adult birthday rental. Warm white for dinner parties, cool for clubs.
- 40th — 40 ($160). Often paired with a first name ("40 MIKE" = $480).
- 50th — 50 ($160). Gold party vibes — warm white, floral walls.
- 60th, 70th, 80th — ($160 each). Family dinners, backyard gatherings, milestone photos.

Backyard vs venue — both work
Most LA milestone birthdays happen in one of three places:
- Home backyards (most common) — we set up anywhere flat, battery-powered so no cords. Perfect for pool-deck parties, lawn setups.
- Restaurants — we coordinate with the venue to confirm allowed setup time and placement (often near the cake table or entry).
- Rented event spaces — Hollywood rooftops, Downtown lofts, Santa Monica beach houses. See our Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Downtown LA pages for local logistics.
Warm vs cool white — for birthdays
The age matters. For Sweet 16s and 21sts, cool white pairs with modern neon decor, LED dance floors, or quinceañera-adjacent themes. For 30s through 60s, warm white is the LA dinner-party default — it pairs with gold balloons, black-tie, candlelit backyards.
Pair it with balloons, florals, photo walls
Marquee numbers are usually one element of a larger setup. We're part of the Alina Balloon family — if you want a balloon garland, floral wall, or full backdrop setup to frame your numbers, ask about our sister brand when you book.
