12″ latex balloons can be helium or air-filled
If planning to fill with air, image can be printed upside down so it appears upright if hung from ceiling or garland banners
Minimum order 25 balloons
Use to:
fill the space above guests’ heads,
flank bars, dessert / buffet tables, and bars,
highlight occasional tables,
dress the perimeter of the room by arranging in tall bunches,
or to add height to dining table centerpieces.

the why

overhead decorations

Visibility; overhead decorations remain visible when the room is full of people
Intimacy; lowers the ceiling, reduces empty space, and makes large rooms and cavernous venues feel more full, which helps create a buzzy atmosphere
Focal points; decorations above bars, food stations, occasional tables, dance floors, or activities can identify their location in large or crowded rooms

Masking; helps hide or distract from existing or incompatible room décor
Value; can help dress large areas
Atmospheric; perimeter decorations are important early on, before the room fills up, to help create a party atmosphere and ensure it feels like a special occasion
Economical; can be used sparingly if majority of decorations are clustered around a main feature wall / display area, such as a dessert table and backdrop
Intimacy; helps define the party space and envelope guests to create an intimate atmosphere

tabletop décor

Enhances; adds height and fullness to bars, food stations, and occasional tables to create larger displays
Focal points; decorating bars, food stations, or occasional tables encourages mingling by creating destinations for guests to explore
Visibility; tall / tabletop decorations are easier to see when the room is full of people

the why

this idea

Special occasions should feel special; generic ‘off the shelf’ decorations are lazy and unimaginative
Personalized; customized decorations are more special and show you made an effort
Custom photo; opportunity to show the guest of honor at different ages ‘through the years’
Funny; quirky, lighthearted, or self-deprecating decorations will make guests smile
Entertaining; guests may not have seen funny or embarrassing old photos of the guest of honor
Memorable; guests remember creative, unusual, or unexpected decorations
Photo-worthy; a great photo-op for guests to share and tag on social media
Surprise; a great way to surprise the guest of honor
Unusual; a less common party idea to impress guests
Reusable; can be deflated and re-inflated (so you may want to keep text generic)
Bestseller; an idea that’s proved popular with my site’s visitors

ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Make your budget stretch further by treating these as accents and mixing with regular latex balloons to make larger bunches.

You could also use these as table centerpieces for dining or occasional tables. If filled with helium on long strings they’ll add height to your room decorations and will be visible over guests’ heads.

Alternatively, add to larger bunches of balloons and use to flank dessert / buffet tables and bars to make a bigger display.

If you’re going to be blowing up a lot of balloons, consider getting an electric balloon pump (under $20 see button below) as it saves a lot of effort compared to a hand pump!”
