Themed Balloons

Balloons are one of the best ways to make a festive atmosphere at any birthday party. No matter what the theme of the party is, there are balloons to fit. Decorate for a first birthday or any age. There are balloons for any interest too, from sports to animals to cartoon character. Some themed balloons are printed latex balloons, but most are large foil balloons that can be round or shaped. They come flat, so you'll need to pick up a tank of helium from your local hobby shop.

The foil, or Mylar balloons are typically 18" round or square, have pictures printed on them, and are sold individually. Whether the party theme is a birthday, a Disney movie, a favorite activity, or just a color or design, there's a foil balloon that's perfect. Foil balloons come in shapes, too, so you can get one that looks like a star, an animal, or even a movie or TV show character. Don't forget ribbon to tie the balloons down and a balloon weight to hold them in place.

Themed latex balloons look like typical balloons that you blow up yourself or fill with helium. They come in packs of six or eight and are printed with pictures or messages like "Happy Birthday" or "Princess." They are fun and inexpensive ways to fill in empty spaces with decorations.

Balloon bouquets put them all together. They are a set of latex and Mylar balloons to fit a certain theme, like Barbie or dinosaurs or polka dots. Balloon bouquets are a big, bold focal point for a room. Whatever the theme of the party, make it extra special with themed helium balloons.
