Party Balloons

Party balloons are excellent decorations for a variety of occasions, from birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events to weddings and baby showers. Made of natural rubber, latex, party balloons are biodegradable with no harmful impact on the environment. One other benefit of such a material is the elasticity level that plays such an important role in adjusting the volume. Party balloons are the cheap but efficient way of creating nice decorations for casual or sophisticated events. What makes the difference between the formal and the informal is the color combination and the patterns of the decorations.

Party balloons can be filled with air, helium, water or some other liquid suitable for the occasion. You should know however that party balloons filled with helium have a short life since the atoms of this gas can pass through the latex pores in the structure of the balloons. Therefore, the party balloons used at trade shows for instance need to be blown up with some gas that will hold them inflated for a longer period of time.

Animal-shaped party balloons are a popular choice particularly for kids birthdays when the need for adequate entertainment is necessary. Parents could also animate the party by modeling animals, hats or other funny objects out of thin party balloons. The beauty of these forms of decoration is that they are very inexpensive and come in a variety of shapes, colors and patterns; furthermore, there are all sorts of methods to combine the party balloons in the most attractive of ways.

Some party balloons have pictures with favorite characters painted on them, others have shiny reflective surfaces that make them more attractive, and certain kinds are made of metalized nylon that increases the buoyancy and allows the gas inside to remain there for days or even weeks. If the party balloons are supplied by professional decorators, the quality of the items should be a high one, not to mention that the use of electronic equipment for the inflation determines the same amount of helium to be filled in every balloon.

Depending on the specificity of the occasion, party balloons can be adjusted or customized according to the requirements. For instance, for a Valentine's Day party, balloons will often be red or heart-shaped. Or for birthday parties, balloons simply carry the “Happy Birthday” or “Happy Anniversary” message. Most decorators have collections of items to match these various occasions and you can look through them and see whether you find something suitable for your plans.
