Ask three decorators for a quote and you will get three very different prices, partly because “decoration” means very different things for different celebrations. A birthday room surprise, a rooftop proposal and a baby shower in a banquet hall are three separate jobs.
This guide breaks down what each type of setup costs in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida in 2026, what drives the price, and how to compare packages so you pay for what you see.

Birthday decoration price
A simple birthday setup is a balloon wall or bunch with foil letters and fairy lights. Mid-range adds a balloon arch or backdrop frame, a neon or name sign and a cake table. Premium setups bring a themed backdrop, custom cutouts and entrance decor. The biggest price jumps come from the backdrop and from switching plain latex balloons to chrome, confetti or large foil balloons.

Anniversary decor splits into two very different jobs. A room surprise for your partner costs about the same as a birthday room setup, with more candles, petals and heart elements. A parents’ anniversary party is closer to a small event, with a stage backdrop, entrance decor and seating, so it costs more and needs more setup time.
View anniversary packagesProposal decoration price
Proposal setups are priced on atmosphere: LED candles, flower arrangements, “Marry Me” marquee letters and fairy-light canopies. The venue often costs more than the decor. A rooftop, hotel or restaurant may charge separately for the space or for allowing an outside decorator, so ask before you book either.

A baby shower (or godh bharai) setup usually includes a backdrop with signage, a decorated chair for the mother-to-be, a cake or gift table, and a balloon arch in soft colours. Price rises with the backdrop size, fresh flowers and whether it is at home or in a hall that needs more coverage.
View baby shower packagesWelcome baby decoration price
Welcome-baby decor is usually smaller: the entrance door, the living room and sometimes the baby’s room, done while the family is at the hospital. Price depends on how many areas are decorated and on timing, since the setup has to fit around the discharge.

Midnight, same-day and peak dates (Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, festive weekends) can cost more.
07
Space
A bedroom, a rooftop and a banquet hall need very different amounts of material.
What’s often not included
Helium (balloons that float need it; air-filled ones are taped or framed)
Cake, cake table or table cloth
Venue charges for rooftops, restaurants or banquet halls
Removal of the decor after the event
Travel beyond the vendor’s service area
Custom printing such as name boards or photo cutouts
How to compare two packages fairly
List every element in both packages with its size and quantity: number and type of balloons, backdrop size, lights, add-ons. If a package does not say, ask. Also ask whether the photos are from the vendor’s own past work; the setup you get should look like the one you booked.
