Custom Balloons and The Amazon Rainforest

Posted on 07/31/2016 by balloonman

What does a Custom latex balloon have to do with the Amazon rainforest? Listen to this. You already know that the Amazon Rainforest is vital to the life of our planet. You may not know that the latex balloon has its origin in the rain forest. You may not realize how the custom balloons sustains the Amazon Rainforest.

The latex balloon industry has a positive impact on the rain forest by using a renewable resource form the rain forest. The rain forest has wild growing rubber plants where latex is carefully harvested. A rain forest farmer called a rubber tapper can care for about 2 to 3 acres of rubber plants. The rubber trees have their sap which is raw latex drawn in a manner which maintains the tree and thus the life giving rain forest. So when you use a rubber latex balloon you are in a small way saving the rain forest.

The next time you see the smile that a custom latex balloon creates on the face of a child think of the rain forest. The next time you see the splendid colors provided by custom balloons or wedding balloons or party balloons think of the rainforest.

7 Reasons not to buy balloons from BalloonsTomorrow.com

Posted on 06/10/2016 by admin

You’d prefer a boring decoration for your party or event using plain ordinary store bought balloons.
You’d rather purchase inferior quality printing and balloons from a competitor that doesn’t have a proprietary printing process that makes the printing stand out and doesn’t use a thicker walled balloon that lasts longer.
You don’t want your party or event to be unique with your own personalized message printed on colorful balloons.
You don’t care if having custom printed balloons as part of your event decoration make people smile and give you compliments.
You’d rather pay higher prices from someone else that makes it look like their prices are lower then upcharges you for shipping and proofs.
You’d rather deal with some mega corporation or a guy working out of his garage than a family owned business that’s been printing custom balloons for over 20 years.
You’re not planning a party or event.

Ring in the New Year with a Balloon Drop!

Posted on 01/04/2016 by partyplanner

There is nothing more exciting than counting down the seconds until the New Year begins! Whether you’re in New York freezing to death and watching the “ball” drop or at your own party, it’s great fun to see things falling from above when the clock strikes midnight. Check out this video! Balloon Drop

All you need for this is a balloon drop net kit from Balloons Tomorrow, and a few hooks and you can do a balloon drop of any size pretty much any where! 3-M makes those great hooks that come off without marring your walls and they are just right for attaching your net to the wall in a cove ceiling. You can also use the hooks that come with the kit if you are under a drop ceiling (the kind with those metal frames that the tiles fit in). The kit contains the net, the line to open the net and let the balloons fall out and the connectors to customize the size of your drop net. We only used a fourth of the small net for our drop since we were in our home, but we may use the rest of the net for another event in the future (New Year’s happens every year in case you didn’t notice). A balloon drop would also be great for a surprise party–imagine the look on their face when all the balloons start falling as they come through the door!!

Balloon Drop Net filled and ready to hang.

Allow about an hour for every 100 balloons you drop and make sure you plan ahead–you can blow the balloons up way in advance if you hand-tie them (3-4 days ahead) because since they are filled with air, they don’t change very quickly. The balloons in the net are very light and easy to lift, but a little awkward if you are trying to hang by yourself, so have a buddy help you. Use the cool air inflator or hand pump from Balloons Tomorrow to make the inflation really easy and hand tie your balloons if you can. Otherwise use the safe-tite discs to seal the balloons. Then when you have the net full of the balloons, hang in its desired location and follow the instructions for releasing the balloons at the big moment.

Dressing Up for the Big Show

Posted on 05/28/2013 by partyplanner

We were really excited about the big show being put on at Modern Steps, our ballroom dance studio. But we needed something to add a bit of zip to the room, and Voila! Balloons to the Rescue! Fabulous balloons, using the theme colors of the ShowDance, red and black, were added to the room using balloon cups and sticks (no helium required!) and sticky holders to keep them in place. It really brighten up the vebue and made it “showtime!” Be sure to catch our big number on Youtube.com at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id9T1TDeAMw. You’re gonna love it!

Comfy & Cozy

Posted on 01/25/2013 by Mindy

Wow – 2013 already?! And where has January gone?! I can’t believe that I am already thinking about Valentine’s Day celebrations – it seems that we just put away our Christmas decorations. Reds & pinks have been flooding the store shelves (and I can already see some green sneaking in) and there are aisles and aisles of heart shaped goodies. As I consider Valentine’s Day 2013 I think about snuggling with my loves while sipping hot chocolate with heart shaped marshmallows. It has been so cold here – right around 0* so a cozy, low key Valentine’s Day sounds perfect for this small family.

Here are a couple ideas for a simple way to celebrate the holiday with your family or your roommates.

1 – Hot cocoa & a movie. Snuggle under some blankets and get toasty with a cup of hot cocoa and some heart shaped marshmallows, store bought or homemade, pop in an a good romantic comedy or age appropriate flick if the littles are joining you.

2 – Balloons at breakfast would be a fun way for your family to start the day. Fill them with helium and let the pretty curled ribbons dangle or tie them to the backs of the chairs or simply blow them up and tap/tack the ribbons to the ceiling and let the balloons hang in a reverse fashion.
