Question

I plan on becoming an event planner. If I am asked to do the setup for a birthday party,would that be allowed from an Islamic perspective.

Answer

You should avoid accepting such work as you will be promoting a custom of the kuffaar which goes against islamic teachings.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
