The quintessential party decoration, if you have nothing else then you've got to have balloons! Spotlight has a great selection of latex balloons and foil balloons for parties, with great varieties in colour for the former and heaps of cool shapes and prints for the latter. Spotlight has helium tanks for sale or rent, and we also have in-store balloon inflation station so you can get your balloon needs sorted!

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, a birthday or just needing something extra for your next party decorating, a balloon garland or arch is the perfect choice.
Banners, Garlands And Streamers
Whether they're draped along the ceiling, a wall or across a doorway, buntings, garlands and streamers are a lovely way to create an atmosphere in any space. Our buntings and garlands are themed around birthdays and events like baby showers, weddings, birthdays and annual holidays, so there's something for every celebration.
Party Backdrops
Ideal for snapping that perfect photo, a hanging backdrop can be placed against a flat wall to create a gorgeous background for your event. We have balloon, streamer and balloon/streamer combo backdrops in beautiful colours you can choose from, and these backdrops can also be used to accentuate the other decorations for party events you own.
Lanterns and Hanging Decorations
Paper hanging lanterns are a unique, textured decoration that you can hang from the ceiling or across the edge of a verandah. They come in a huge range of colours and textured designs, with each one having a unique hanging tassel as well.
Spotlight also has a great range of party lights you can use in your event. We have coloured fairy lights, solar lights and colour-change globes you can use to create certain moods or to highlight areas of your event, and they work well indoors as well as outside.

Decade parties are great for adults who need a fun theme everyone knows - from the 20s to the 90s, each decade has a signature style and sound that is easy to copy for your event.
