How Much Does Birthday Decoration Cost in Nairobi?

A practical pricing guide and budgeting tips from Created With Love Events — helping you plan memorable parties without surprises.

Quick answer (snippet)

Typical birthday decoration costs in Nairobi range from KES 1,500 for a very simple balloon cluster to KES 150,000+ for large luxury setups. Most common party packages fall between KES 10,000–50,000.

What affects decoration costs?

Decoration pricing varies because of several factors. Before requesting quotes, consider these items — they determine the final cost:

  • Guest count and venue size — larger spaces need bigger installations.
  • Complexity of design — simple balloon clusters vs. custom balloon walls, arches or themed backdrops.
  • Furniture & rentals — chairs, tables, linens, props and lounges.
  • Extras — lighting, LED dance floor, photo booth, dessert stations, entertainers.
  • Delivery, setup & teardown — labour and transport costs vary by location and schedule.

How to budget for your party

Use this quick method to estimate your decoration budget:

  1. Decide the event scale (small, medium, large).
  2. Choose key focal elements (backdrop, balloon wall, centerpieces).
  3. Add rental costs for furniture and props.
  4. Include delivery, setup and a contingency (10–15%).

Example: a medium home birthday (30 guests) with a balloon garland, cake table backdrop and table decor typically falls between KES 20,000–35,000.

Ways to save without sacrificing style

  • Choose a single focal installation (e.g., a balloon arch) rather than multiple large pieces.
  • Opt for reusable decor items for future events.
  • Book weekday slots or off-peak dates when labour and delivery can be cheaper.
  • Pick simple color palettes to reduce material costs.
