Our Balloons

Will My Balloons Arrive Already Inflated?
Some of our balloons will be inflated when you receive them (please check our INFLATED balloon section for more details). Our DIY Balloon Garland Kits and all balloons listed under DEFLATED will arrive flat-packed and in need of air or helium. 

I’ve Ordered A BoxFetti DIY Balloon Arch Kit – Will Someone Make It For Me?
Our Balloon Arch Kits have been created for you to make at home – they come with full instructions and are easy to put together – all you need is a pump and a little time! Want us to do it for you? No problem! Take a look at our other options including Grab and Go and Balloon Installations. 

How Long Will The Balloons Last?
Balloons are sensitive to temperature and handling – once they leave our store or delivery van, we are no longer responsible for their wellbeing ☺
However, as a guide, regular latex balloons generally last between 6-12 hours when filled with helium and Hi-Float depending on the condition in which they are kept. Hot weather and cold temperatures will affect your balloons float time. Foil balloons will last approx. 2-4 days. Air-filled balloons generally last for a couple of weeks, but do not float. Our balloon in a box will last about a week.

While we might love the sunshine here in the UAE, your balloons won’t. Over exposure to sun or heat can cause them to fade, oxidize or pop. Cold weather can affect helium balloons (a little science lesson: helium floats because it is thinner than air – but when it gets cold, it becomes dense and heavier than air so your balloons can shrivel and sink). 

And as for wind? We can’t guarantee that your balloons won’t fly away on a windy day even if they are weighted – Mother Nature is more powerful.
Please be aware that if you have ordered our Inflated Foil Balloons, they may look a little less full than you’d expect. Once delivered and at room temperature, the helium inside will expand (you might hear popping noises) and the balloon will be as it should. The same is true if you have moved your foil balloons from a warm area to a cold place – simply move them back and they’ll look full again! 

Air inflation
We recommend using a hand pump to inflate your balloons (these are easily controlled). Buy your hand pump on our website or – if you prefer – go for an electric balloon pump (available on amazon). 

Please note, some balloons can only be filled with air due to their small size and are not designed for helium so make sure to read product descriptions clearly. 

How do I dispose of my balloons? 
Don't Let Them Go! It might be tempting to watch your balloons float up to the sky but this really isn’t very eco-friendly so please don’t let them go!  We wouldn’t want your balloons to end up in the ocean, tangled in trees or littering the environment – particularly as they can cause harm to wildlife and marine life. 

Foil balloons
Mylar balloons, also known as foil balloons, are made from nylon with a metallic coating. As they’re made from synthetic materials, they can be recycled but are sadly not biodegradable and will stay in landfill forever. Our tip? Save them to be re-inflated – because while they’re fragile, it’s easy to press out the helium and keep them flat until you next want to inflate them!
