🎈 Helium & Balloons

How long do helium balloons last?

Latex balloons float for 8–12 hours. With Hi-Float, they can last up to 3 days.

Foil (Mylar) balloons can float for 3–7 days or longer, depending on size and temperature.

How can I make my helium balloons last longer?

Ask for Hi-Float on your latex balloons. Hi-Float treatment makes them last much longer — up to 3 days instead of 8–12 hours. For best results, also keep balloons indoors and away from direct sun, heaters and air-conditioning vents.

Can I bring my own balloons to be filled with helium?

Yes! We’re happy to fill balloons you bring in. Just make sure they're helium-safe (typically Mylar or latex balloons).

How much do you charge to fill my own balloons with helium?

We’re happy to inflate balloons that you bring into our shop, as long as they are helium-safe (such as latex or foil/Mylar balloons). The cost for helium inflation depends on the type and size of the balloon, as well as the amount of helium required. Larger or specialty-shaped balloons may incur a higher charge. Please note that while we take care to handle your items properly, we cannot guarantee the performance or float time of customer-supplied balloons, especially if they are older or made of thinner material. Feel free to ask our staff for a quote when you arrive!

Can I customize my balloon order?

Yes, we do offer customized balloon orders to suit any occasion. Whether you're planning a birthday party, wedding, baby shower, corporate event, or any special celebration, we can personalize your balloons to match your theme and vision. You can choose from a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, including foil and latex options, as well as specialty balloons like numbers, letters. We also offer personalised text, so you can add names or logos to your balloons. From balloon bouquets and centrepieces to garlands and arches, our team can create stunning arrangements tailored just for you. Let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll be happy to bring it to life!
