Balloon Guide

  • Air-filled balloons do not float and will need to be placed on a balloon stick.
  • Helium balloons will float on their own and will be attached to a ribbon.
  • Helium-filled balloons will need to be attached to a weight or something heavy so it will not float away.
  • Float times vary depending on the size of the balloon as well as ambient environmental conditions.
  • Minimum float time for helium-filled latex balloons is 8 hours and for foil balloons is 24 hours.
  • We recommend NOT leaving helium-filled balloons in a hot vehicle or direct sunlight when outdoors.
