Balloon Guide & Safety

Safety is a non-negotiable for us. We love parties and balloons, however, we enjoy and appreciate individuals who party and celebrate responsibly. 
  • Do not leave children and pets unattended with balloons.
  • Balloons (whether broken, not inflated, inflated or partly deflated) can cause choking or suffocation
  • Do not allow children and pets to chew on deflated balloons or pieces of popped balloons. Ribbons can be choking hazards as well as any plastic sealers and garland plastic.
  • Do not allow children to blow up balloons unsupervised. 
  • Keep balloons out of the reach of children and pets
  • Store non-inflated balloons safely and securely  
  • Please do not leave balloons in the car

Keep your balloons secured to weights/anchors. 

Do not inhale helium, it is harmful to your health and wellness.

Temperature

Cold air, snow and rain can deflate balloons (*Sometimes, them may return once taken indoors)

Warm/room temperature can expand them

In extreme hot temperatures, helium gas expands and bursts

Keep balloons away from extreme heat

Foil balloons are very sensitive to temperature. 

WE DO NOT SUPPORT OUTDOOR RELEASES OF BALLOONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

Balloons are a risk to our marine life and often times, marine animals mistaken the balloon for food. Let's work together to keep balloons out of our oceans, rivers and lakes. 

Party responsibly, don't pop, don't let go, don't litter. Be a good human. We love our earth, environment and community.
