How to plan a milestone birthday party
Here’s how to make your birthday party one people remember.
Make the number the star
Giant light-up numbers are the centrepiece of any milestone birthday, and the photo everyone wants.
Add a photo backdrop
A sequin wall or flower wall behind the numbers creates the perfect photo spot.
Get people dancing
An LED dancefloor and a DJ who knows the crowd turn a gathering into a party.

What our customers say
Real reviews from real celebrations.
“Absolutely fantastic service from Next wave. I hired a light up dance floor and a selfie pod for my 40th birthday. Booking through to installation was so easy. Ben and Ellen are so lovely to deal with. Made my party that bit extra special.”
“Thank you so much for supplying LED letters for our wedding reception. They looked great! The whole process from start to finish was very professional and stress free. Excellent customer service provided and we would highly recommend to everyone!”
“Speakers and lighting were perfect for a pre wedding party. Ben was super chill and made everything easy. He even came a few days after the wedding to grab the speakers/lighting as he knew how busy we were. Legend! Will 100% be using them again in the future.”
