Ask Yourself These 4 Questions Before Picking Up Balloons From Your Local Balloon Store

When picking out balloons from your local balloon store, make sure you have a rough idea of what you're looking for. It's important to know how much you will need, what type you're looking for, where you will be placing them, and if they will match the rest of the decor. There are so many styles to choose from that you should make sure to ask yourselves these 4 questions, when planning your next celebration.

 

How Many Will You Need From the Balloon Store?

It's important to know whether or not you will be going all out and getting hundreds of balloons or if you will only need a couple to accent the other decorations. This also can depend on the event you're planning. With an event like a wedding, you may only want a few here and there but a celebration like a birthday party or a baby shower, you may want to go with a lot. There's also the question of whether or not you want a balloon arch or balloon bouquets.

 

What Type Will Look Best?

There are two different kinds of balloons you can buy. Latex and foil. Latex balloons have different looks you can choose from like Solid, Chrome, Pearl, and Confetti to name just a few. Latex balloons are a great accent to foil balloons. Foil balloons can be all different kinds of shapes and designs and they tend to last longer than latex balloons do. If you want to celebrate a specific age or spell someones names out, foil balloons can be a great choice.

Where Will They Be Placed?

Another thing you should do, is plan out where you want the balloons to be placed. This will also help you figure out the amount you will need and what colours to choose. Will they be placed on the floor or on a table? If on a table, where everyone can see, consider a foil balloon with a cool design on it. If they will be higher off the floor, you may want to go with some tightly grouped latex balloons. Or maybe you just want a bunch of air filled balloons scattered all over the floor. The possibilities are endless and you can always ask for tips from the experts at your local balloon store!

 

Will They Match The Rest of Your Decor?

To make sure you pick the balloons, ask yourself what the theme of the party or celebration is first. This is key to matching balloons to the decor. You want balloons to accent and add to the aesthetic of your other decorations. For example, if you're doing a safari themed birthday, choose orange and green balloons. Maybe even brown and yellow. You can also get latex balloons with designs printed on them like zebra or leopard print. If you're planning the party for an adult and there really isn't a "theme", think about what their favourite colours are and work off of that. Black and gold are very popular right now and for foil balloons, the number and letter balloons are big hit.
