GetSet lists 5 creative ways to arrange balloons at your next party

It’s no secret that GetSet loves a good balloon show – and can you blame us? Colourful, fun, and the quintessential party decoration: balloons are often the life and soul of a party! Whether you’re celebrating New Year’s Eve or a kid’s birthday, hosting a baby shower, hens day, or engagement party, make sure you do it in style with balloons. We’ll show you how!

Style your party with… a balloon installation

As one of the most on-trend decorations used in the events world, a balloon installation or balloon garland can instantly bring to life just about any special occasion – from weddings to baby showers, birthdays, engagements, and even corporate launches!

The key is to create a balloon installation in an array of different sizes to add dimension. You could decorate in ombré style to create vivid impact or opt for two or three shades in your theme’s colours for an understated yet stylish effect.

Style your party with… giant balloons

Gender reveal parties are insanely popular right now, and a great way to celebrate the exciting arrival of your bub. Some really fun ideas to reveal the gender of your baby in front of your friends + family include:

  • Releasing giant balloons in pink or blue out of a box
  • Filling a big black balloon with pink or blue confetti and popping it
  • Emptying pink or blue paint into a giant balloon and pinning it to a blank canvas before popping it
  • If you’re celebrating a birthday, jumbo number balloons can provide a great #SHAREWORTHY photo op. Love balloons and heart-shaped inflatables are also great for celebrating engagement parties and weddings

Style your party with…a balloon ceiling

Ceilings are often neglected real estate when it comes to decorating an event space. One way to style your party is with a balloon ceiling, which involves tons of helium-inflated balloons in differing sizes splayed across the roof of your venue. For added effect, you can tie metallic curling ribbon at the knot to hang for a luxe look.

Style your party with… confetti balloons

As if balloons aren’t fun enough on their own, celebrations are taken to a whole new level when confetti are thrown into the mix. Confetti balloons add that extra bit of flavour to a party, and go well with any theme, colour scheme, or age! The more, the merrier, so don’t be afraid to buy a dozen or more for a full effect.

Style your party with… a balloon bouquet

At your next sit-down dinner or lunch, a really unique way to include balloons in your decorations is to have a balloon bouquet as your table centrepieces or on your desserts station. Just fill up with helium and bunch together for an eye-catching effect (not that you’ll need to indicate where the desserts are at your party!)

So, there you have it: if you’re looking for a unique and inexpensive way to transform a room, the addition of balloons is something you definitely should consider!
