Yes! We require a minimum order of $450 for custom decor, below this amount can be arranged as fully constructed items for pickup or delivery (check our pick-up options).

What is the pricing for balloon decorations?

The cost of our custom balloon decorations is determined by several factors, including the design type, complexity, length, volume, as well as any associated delivery and installation expenses. Our pricing is calculated per foot for all garlands, so having the measurements of your desired space will provide a rough estimate of the overall cost.

Do you Deliver?

Yes, Delivery is available starting at $35 and up depending on delivery location, installation, and time of day. Delivery is calculated based on the distance from our address (404 Terry Ave, Seattle 98104).

* Delivery Fee is separate from your balloon order.

Do you charge an Installation Fee?

Yes, On-site installation fees start at 25% of the Balloons Price Order and up depending on set-up time and amount of staff members needed. Required at least 7 days lead time.

*The installation fee is separate from your balloon order.

How long do your balloons last?

We use only the highest quality balloons and materials, however, some may pop or deflate sooner than anticipated. We can not guarantee your balloons will last once they have been delivered or picked up. Environmental factors, including weather, children, pets, different surfaces, hot or cluttered car conditions, and foliage could affect the lifespan of our creations. We will replace anything we pop in transportation or during setup.

Balloon decoration indoors could last for weeks (no guarantees) if kept away from direct heat and sunlight!

If you want to install your balloons outside, we suggest that you install them in the shade and always as close to the time of your event as possible.

*We are no longer responsible for their lifespan Once balloons leave our store or delivery van- vehicle. All balloon sales are final.

How long does installation usually take?

The time it takes to install our balloon decor varies and is based on the scale of the design. All of our inflating is done ahead of time so that we can try to keep it to under an hour whenever possible.

How long in advance do I need to book?

We strongly suggest booking at least two weeks to avoid disappointment when we’re already booked or don’t have the materials your vision requires... Our creations require time to design, plan, and execute so the sooner you can book, be better!

My event is less than a week away - can you accommodate my request?

We will make every effort to accommodate your needs! Please note that we can only accept last-minute orders if we have availability and if they are limited to the balloons currently in stock. For last-minute bookings, the full order total will be required upfront.

Additionally, there is a rush fee for custom installations requested with less than one week's notice.

Do you sell helium?

Because of our sustainability policies, we don't sell helium. However, we have many options for balloon decoration that don't require helium.

What type of balloons do you use?

We are proud to use 100% natural biodegradable latex balloons made in the USA and Canada. As with other natural products, latex breaks down under normal environmental conditions.

Unfortunately, mylar balloons are not biodegradable but can be reused or brought back into our studio to be recycled.

What do you use to hang your balloon garlands?

At Awesome Parties, we prioritize convenience, aesthetics, and easy removal when installing balloons for your event. We carefully assess the venue, seeking secure attachment points like anchor points or existing structures.

Our goal is to create a visually stunning atmosphere while maintaining venue integrity. We use removable 3M command hooks when anchor points aren't available, ensuring no surface damage. HERE is the instructional video for your convenience.

For those who prefer alternatives to wall attachments, we offer free-standing balloon columns with custom installation. We can also coordinate pick-up after your event, leaving you with your balloons or providing tear-down services for a hassle-free experience.

At Awesome Parties, we're dedicated to making your event memorable, stress-free, and visually stunning. Every detail matters, from balloon selection to installation and removal, as we transform your space with creative balloon decor solutions.
