Adding Balloons to fill large spaces quickly with a large variety of vivid colors to choose from, is cost effective and beautiful.

Balloon N Party Event Decor

Areas to decorate

  • Driveway or Parking Lot – Lead guests to the final destination – using balloons as “bread crumbs”.
  • Entrances – Transitional decorations provide a mood-altering shift for guests, an introduction to the theme and a taste of what’s to come. For a Grand Entrance perhaps a Walk-thru Heart or Walk-thru Star would provide the alure and build excitement for guests of what’s “inside”.

  • Foyer – A place for guests to gather and mingle should tease with wonder and excitement, add color and festivity with floor bouquet balloon arrangements with “hints” of the theme included.

  • Guest Book/Reception Table – You want people to check-in or sign in, so make their first stop colorful and artistic with a decorated sign in board and balloon arrangements.

  • Cocktail Area, Bars – Signifying the “GO TO” area for guests to quench their thirst, highlight the bar area with lighted balloons and touches of the theme.

  • Stage – The obvious focal point and center of attention, should be appropriately framed with a colorful arch & columns, a balloon backdrop, a logo or name highlighted or provide an element of surprise with an exploding balloon wall introduction.

  • Head Table/Sweetheart Table – use a themed Backdrop, canopy, or name as a focal point.

  • Guest Tables – Use themed or festive Centerpieces to form the ambiance. (see “How to choose the right centerpiece”)

  • Cake Table/Dessert Table – Create a Focal Point such as a canopy over the cake table, or use gumball balloons or a milestone column to add color and significance to the celebration.

  • Buffet Table – Make a large Buffet Arrangement or use a fun balloon bouquet to draw attention.

  • Punch/Soda/Coffee Table – Use balloons to add color and to identify this important area.

  • Gift Table – Create attention with clusters of balloons or add a bride & groom balloon sculpture or a thematic centerpiece.

  • Dance Floor – Add drama to this focal point with a Lighted Canopy or simply Float Balloons above or create an element of surprise with an exploding ceiling balloon filled with confetti and smaller balloons.

  • DJ Table – Add color to highlight the emcee or DJ.

  • Photo Backdrop – Create a Photo Backdrop or use props for your guests to enjoy and remember when they see the pictures they took at your event.

  • Perimeter – Add floor bouquets or majestic columns to tie up empty area in the room.

  • Special Moment – Build excitement as your guests anticipate the shower of balloons with a Balloon Drop.

  • Special Reveal – It is the climax as you reveal a hidden product, person or the dollars raised at a fundraiser or it’s a spectacular ending, the finale of the event with a Balloon Release.

  • Guest Bathrooms – Add color to an unexpected area.

  • Get-away Car – Loose balloons placed in the car and released as the guest of honor leave the reception.

  • Honeymoon Room – Surprise the newlyweds with a room full of loose balloons, floating and air-filled, to celebrate them and reward them as they end their long, special day.
