Delivering a stunning event can be done by just incorporating a couple of things. Just make sure you get the tables and drapes done correctly. Don’t forget to spruce up the dance floors. And to create a party vibe, you can put balloons as a backdrop to your bash.
Yes, you read it correctly. Balloons.
When it comes to creating a festive atmosphere to your next event, make sure you add balloons. You can place on the table as part of the decor or you can position them along the walls. If you have allotted space as the dance floor, it’s also a good idea to line them up.
As party accessories, balloons have been around for many years. You can see them at birthday parties, wedding venues, and bridal showers. Balloons are also a staple in corporate or office events and even in the glitzy and glamorous Great Gatsby-like social occasions.
Admittedly, there are so many types of balloons available. As a result, choosing which style, size, or color to use in your bash can be overwhelming.
If you’re planning to have a party using balloons, we offer these practical suggestions to bring your event to the next level. We hope to impart these cute balloon ideas so you will know what style or type to get for your bash.
Whether it’s glitter-infused or just plain-colored ones, you can turn your event into something magical. With the unique use of these party accessories, you can create an unparalleled vibe and a vivacious atmosphere for your social function.
Looking for cute balloon ideas? Here are some cool things that you can do with these inflatable accessories for your party.
Glitter Up Your Balloons
We mentioned glitter-infused balloons in the above paragraph. If you or your guests are into the glittery and glamorous stuff, adding a little bit of the sparkly thingies to your party accessories can spell a huge difference.
With glitter, you put your bash onto another level of glitz and sophistication. Sprinkle some silver dust to create the needed spritz to your balloons before blowing them up. Make sure you inflate them to different sizes; it also helps to get different shapes and sizes for your balloons for more variety.
As simple as adding glitter to your balloons can make a sparkly and glitzy background. Do you want to know how to glitter up your inflatable party accessories? Check out these instructions.
First, you need to pour the glitter into individual bowls; each bowl must contain only one color. Now get one balloon and stretch it out. Then insert a funnel on its lip. For a larger-sized balloon, take two teaspoons of glitter and put it in; for smaller-sized balloons, a teaspoon of glitter will do the trick. However, you can adjust the amount of glitter to achieve the color you desire.
Once you filled all the balloons with glitter, pump air into these accessories. Make sure you shift the glitter inside by shaking the balloon once in a while during the inflation process. Be careful about putting in too much air; if the balloon blows, you risk getting glitter on your eyes, nose, or mouth.
After blowing air into the balloon, tie a knot to seal it. To secure the glitter-infused balloons as an arrangement on the walls or tables, you can use adhesive hooks.
Create Floral Arrangements with Your Balloons
Do you want to augment the floral arrangements at your party? You can skip your plan to buy more flowers. Instead, you can spruce up the venue with a bouquet of floral balloons.
Balloons and flowers aren’t mutually exclusive. So why not have both at your bash? If you can create balloon animals, then you can also create floral balloons.
Pick your desired color palette and create your floral arrangements. You can prop your flower-patterned balloons on a stick that resembles a stem. Or you can simply arrange them accordingly on the table as decor.
White Cloudy Goodness
Want more cute balloon ideas? Now wrap your head around this. With a blue hue in the background, create an impression of a cloudy sky with white floating balloons as clouds. This one is easy to make; the bundle of balloons, that is. Here are the instructions.
For this balloon design, you will need white latex balloons and white twine. Double-Sided tape will come in handy too, but if don’t have one, any adhesive is fine.
To begin this project, inflate 25 of your white latex balloons to the desired size. Aim to have balloons of varying sizes to get that asymmetrical mass of an actual cloud.
Now create clusters of balloons by tying them together with your white twine, starting with two at a time. Then clump those pairs together to create the look of an actual cloud. To fill the gaps, you can use smaller-sized balloons; this is where your double-sided tape will be useful. If you want to suspend the balloon clouds on the ceiling, you can affix them using your double-sided tape as well.
The balloon clouds are perfect for baby showers and birthday celebrations.
Fruity Balloons in a Bunch
Are you hosting a Hawaiian-themed event? Add a tropical twist to your hula party with these fruity balloons. How do you do that? It’s simple. First, think of the tropical fruits; what comes to your mind?
There’s watermelon, kiwi, and passion fruit. Throw in a pineapple and a couple of citrus fruits, and you get yourself a tutti frutti basket of tropical goodness.
Next, inflate balloons according to the desired fruit’s size. Make sure you blow balloons of the same color of the fruit.
Rainbow Arch
This one can go along with the rest of the cute balloon ideas in this article. What a great way to welcome guests to your fiesta is to have a rainbow balloon arch at the entrance. It gives off a festive vibe even at the entryway. This can also serve as a great backdrop where the guests can stand to have their pictures taken.
You don’t have to get all seven colors of the rainbow. Three or four colors will do. A rainbow balloon arch will be a great guest welcoming accessory and a show-stopping, Instagram-worthy design.
Haunted Grand Piano for Halloween
Are you planning to hold a Halloween party? If you have a grand piano at the venue, this is the perfect balloon decor trick that you can do. For this design, choose red and dark-colored balloons.
Here’s a Halloween bash idea. Create a show-stopping interior design by taking a bunch of balloons to make an eerie, drop-dead atmosphere on the party floor. Take a bunch of ghostly balloons. Arrange them in such a way that they seem to rise up from the grand piano up to the ceiling.
If there is any way you can position the grand piano beneath the stairs, the better. From the piano, let the balloons appear to ascend up the stairs. To enhance the spectral feel of the design, you can use a fog machine, positioning it near the piano seat.
Here are two more cute balloon ideas for Halloween.
Turn a plain white balloon into a spooky night scene by adding silhouettes of bats and a black witch flying on a broom. Or perhaps transform a yellow balloon into a Jack-o-lantern pumpkin visage.
Create a Christmas Ornament with Balloons
When Christmas is around the corner, make a bold statement with this gorgeous decor. For this design project, choose red, green, and white balloons of varied sizes.
To create your larger-than-life Christmas decoration, start by painting polka dots on your balloons. You can also make simple stripes on the rest of your balloons. You can suspend these inflatable accessories on the ceiling or tape them on the walls or table tops.
Here’s how to create the stripes and polka dots on your balloons. You start by inflating them to your desired size. Using a paintbrush, make the striped designs on the surface of the balloons. For the dots, simply use a pouncer for this, dipping it on the paint then gently pressing it on the balloons.
To let the paint dry, position the balloons on a bowl or any concave object.
Balloon Fireworks and Confetti
Want to rain confetti on your guests? Pop the balloons and let it fall with this design. There’s no need to use actual fireworks here, but the alternative can be equally loud and exhilarating. This can also go along with the other cute balloon ideas in this article.
Here’s how you do a satisfying loud confetti drizzle. Start by grabbing an uninflated balloon at both ends to stretch it. Now get a funnel and pour the confetti inside until it fills up about a quarter of the balloon. Then inflate it using a hand pump.
Popping the balloon can recreate the sound of fireworks going off. But we’re not using actual fireworks for this design. Instead, you can use a sharpened pencil to poke on the balloons until it pops.
As a safety precaution, don’t leave children under 8 unsupervised with the sharpened objects or the uninflated or popped balloons.
Cute Balloon Animals
This is one of the best cute balloon ideas for children’s parties. Embrace your nature-loving side with balloon animals. Even if you don’t have a clown at your bash, you can still pull off a joyous celebration with an assortment of colorful animals.
Here’s how you can spruce up your event with a cost-effective yet fun solution. Inflate a couple of helium balloons of varied sizes and colors. Now cut out shapes that resemble body parts of animals.
Use tissue paper for this; they’re lightweight. Make ears and legs and perhaps a tail then affix them on the balloon. Next, cut out two dots and a snout to resemble that of a pig.
Repeat the process by cutting out shapes that look like the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth of a cat or dog. You can also try creating a beak for a bird-looking balloon.
Don’t have the patience to trace and cut animal parts? You can use a marker pen and draw these features instead. Sketch a kitty or puppy design on the balloons for a paws-itively good time.
Pop the Balloon Game
Of the cute balloon ideas in this article, this one is a great party pop for kids. Just like the confetti balloon project, fill the balloons with candy treats then affix them on the wall as decor. That way, the kids can take their turn, popping the balloons and catch the surprise inside. For the older players, you can use darts.
To create these cute balloon ideas, secure a foam board on the wall by using hooks. This board is where you will affix the balloons.
Now grab your balloons, and using a funnel, fill them with a few sweet treats and candies. However, the leave the rest empty, containing nothing but confetti. Then inflate the balloons. Adhere them to the wall.
