  • Bed sprinkle: small petals & 2–3 foil accents
  • Best for: birthday surprise on check-in
Junior Suite (9–10 ft)
  • Ceiling balloons: ~50–75
  • Entry moment + bed feature
  • Good for: couples, mini photo moment
Corner/Signature Suite (10–12 ft)
  • Ceiling balloons: ~75–120
  • Zone decor: lounge + bed
  • Good for: family surprises, content shoots
Room type Good for Typical ceiling Ceiling balloons (start)
Standard King Birthday surprise on check-in 8–9 ft 25–50
Junior Suite Couples, mini photo moment 9–10 ft 50–75
Corner/Signature Suite Family surprises, content shoots 10–12 ft 75–120

Note: Counts are starting points. Suite layouts and furniture can change how many balloons look balanced.

Quiet installs

  • We deliver pre-inflated balloons for a fast, quiet drop-in.
  • Use painter’s tape only on glass/metal; avoid walls, fabrics, and any life-safety devices.
  • Keep clear of sprinkler heads and smoke/heat detectors; do not attach anything to them.
  • Shoe covers and soft-close doors keep things discreet.

Timelines

1–2 weeks out: Choose a colorway and confirm the room type. Add a cake and flowers if needed.

2–3 days out: Confirm name on the room, arrival window, and on-site contact (front desk or concierge).

Day of: Share the reservation number, floor, and any elevator instructions. Ask the hotel to place a “DND” after setup.

Note: Some hotels require pre-approval for decorations and may limit tape or floor scatter. Always check house rules before setup.

Staff coordination

  • Front desk/concierge: Request an escort or key-in for a timed entry while the guest is away.
  • Safety: Keep doorways and walk paths clear; avoid placing decor near HVAC returns, sprinklers, or detectors.
  • Clean exit: Bundle ribbons and dispose of offcuts; confirm the “surprise ready” text with a photo proof.

Add cakes & flowers

Round out the surprise with a fresh cake and hand-tied flowers delivered with your balloons.
