Party Tips

Balloons

Balloons can add life and atmosphere to a party.
To ensure that your balloons are looking their best, inflate them as close to the beginning of your function as possible.
Qualatex balloons (11" balloons) have a 12 hour float time, our Clown balloons (12" balloons) have an 8 hour float time
and Foil Balloons 9 to 10 days float time when filled with Helium.

Candles

Candles bring an ambience to a function that no other lighting can rival.
Please supervise any lit candles throughout the duration of your
function.
To increase the burning time of your candles, we advise that you freeze them for at least 3 hours prior to lighting them at your function.

Themeing

Themeing can turn an average party into an event that will be remembered.
One of the easiest ways to theme your party is to choose an interest of the special person for whom you are hosting the party.
Another popular idea is to colour co-ordinate the party in their favourite colours, or to decorate in sporting colours for a team they support. This will instantly create an individual personalized party.

Planning ahead will ensure your party runs without a hitch.

Make a list of things that you can check off as they are done. E.g.

  • the place of the function
  • the date of the function
  • choosing invitations
  • the time and duration of the event
  • delivering / sending invitations
  • catering arrangements
  • decorations and atmospheric extras
  • music

Most importantly, don't forget to have lots of fun.
