3 thrifty tactful tricks for longer lasting helium Balloons!

What goes up, MUST COME DOWN!!!

Who knew right?

So I guess the ultimate question is….How long do helium balloons actually last?

DRUM ROLL PLEASE………. NOT that long!!

These vibrant lavishly latex inflated beauties that fill our ceiling skies for absolutely ANY occasion don’t actually party for too long unfortunately without a little assistance.

So, here at Balloons n Beyond, we a going to be SUPER generous & dish out our juicy best kept secrets to keep our helium inflated friends alive, free & floating to new heights for enhanced longevity!

Trick # 1:

When inflating these lavishly latex balloons with helium, inflate them AS CLOSE AS TIMELY AS POSSIBLE to your event. With an average float time of 7 - 10 hours (without any balloon medicine added), clearly there a little sensitive to time. HOWEVER, with that little bit of balloon medicine added (ALREADY ADDED INTO OUR HELIUM LATEX BALLOONS HERE AT BALLOONS N BEYOND), they love to party longer at that party and can last for a couple of days (at most). Our dear confetti balloons on the other hand are a little heavier & due to there weight, most sizes only last for about 24 hours.

Trick # 2:

It’s ALL about the temperature! While some of us love the sun, our dear helium inflated friends DONT! They much prefer to be kept indoors, in a climate-controlled environment.

In hot weather, they expand in the heat (hence those undesired POP’s). It’s best that we keep our inflated friends in an air-conditioned location & out of direct sunlight. WHY? = To prevent them turning chalky which is what leads to a slow & painful balloon death.

In the colder months, they contract & shrivel a little, thus its best to keep our helium inflated friends happy in a warmer environment.

Take home message here guys = float time is best indoors within climate-controlled conditions!

Trick # 3:

Now, for the absolute MUST - Use professional premium quality balloons. There you go, we said it. A balloon stylists’ best kept secret.

You might be pulling out a few more pennies out of your back pocket BUT…. there look better, longer lasting & most importantly a good quality professional grade helium balloon, are you ready for it…. HOLDS HELIUM LONGER!

There you go, Bang for your BUCK!

Although you might be “getting it cheaper” some place else, always remember - “You get what you pay for”!
