Occasions

Birthday balloons and party decorations

Birthdays are what we do most of, from a bunch of helium balloons collected from the shop to a full themed room with a light up number in the corner.

01

Milestone birthdays

Eighteenth, twenty first, thirtieth, fortieth, fiftieth. The number is the point, so the display is built around it: a light up number, a garland worked around the base, and a backdrop behind it.

One corner done properly beats decoration spread thinly around a whole room. That is where the photographs happen.

Children's parties

Whatever they are into this year. Toy Story, Octonauts, Minions, Stitch, safari, circus, princesses. The character is the brief and everything else is built to sit around it.

First birthdays are their own thing. They tend to be more about the photographs the parents will keep than the party the child remembers, so they get styled accordingly.

Or just the balloons

Not every birthday needs styling. The Balloon Shop in Kempston makes up helium balloons, numbers, bouquets and personalised bubble balloons to collect on the day.

A rose gold number and a run of letters across a bedroom wall is a twenty minute job and it still makes the morning.

For a birthday we can cover

  • Light up numbers and names
  • Balloon arches and organic garlands
  • Themed character displays
  • Sequin walls and flower wall backdrops
  • Cake table styling and props
  • Helium balloons and bouquets from the shop

    We build it on site

    Garlands and arches are built at the venue on the day, so they fit the space properly.

  4. 04

    We take it away

    Everything comes back down after the event, so you are not left clearing up.

Seamless. Really fab service. Perfect display.

Questions

Asked often

Can you do a themed children's party?

Yes. Tell us the character or the theme and we will build the display around it. We have done Toy Story, Octonauts, Minions, Stitch, safari, circus and princess parties.

Do you set up at home as well as at a venue?

Yes. Plenty of the birthdays we do are at home. It usually needs a bit more thought about power and floor space, so mention it when you get in touch.

I just want balloons, not styling. Can you do that?

Yes. The Balloon Shop at 210 Bedford Rd in Kempston makes up helium balloons, number balloons and bouquets to collect on the day.

Can I have a personalised balloon?

Yes. Personalised bubble balloons are hand written with a name, a date or a message. They are one of the things the shop is asked for most.

A photograph of the space and a rough idea of the colours is plenty to start. We will come back with what will work in it.
