THE  HOW  TO 

on looking after your

 Balloon!

1.   Don't keep them in your car boot or anywhere in your car for too long,  especially for helium filled balloons as the helium and air will expand, the balloons will do the same and pop. This will most likely make a very loud bang and an unfortunate disappointment for our lovely customers!  If your weathers bad and your balloons get rained on and start to droop, don't worry – they'll float again when dry! If its a hot day please use air conditioning and take them out any bags you've got them in or else they will misbehave and pop.

2. Room temperature always, this is in your house or out partying, afterwords or somewhere else,  again balloons can shrink or pop if it too warm or cold for them. When helium-filled balloons are taken into the cold, they will temporarily deflate and will re-inflate again when warm. A change in temperature (going from warm to cold) can cause a vinyl personalised message on your balloon to bubble slightly. If it is too warm they will pop. Balloons are very fussy so please look after them so there are no accidents and unhappy faces!  

3. For the little ones and their parents- Balloons are not a toy. Un-inflated or burst balloons can present a choking hazard and should never be left with children under the age of eight without supervision. This is the same of inhaling helium, it can be dangerous and it is not recommended. It can deprive your body of oxygen and can result in a fatality.
 

4. Lights, paint textures, irregular surfaces and even static can all pop balloons. If you are planning on placing your balloons on a ceiling, ensure that you test it first. Avoid sharp or rough materials and edges.
 

5. Store balloons away from pets to ensure that they cannot get themselves tangled with balloon ribbons or accidentally ingest popped balloons or their decorative contents such as confetti, feathers, or other materials. If a balloon pops, clear away any broken balloons and it's decorative contents (if applicable) immediately.

Allergies: Most our balloons are made of natural rubber latex and may cause allergies.
