Tricks and Tips

Make sure that your latex balloons are "helium quality".

Have weights and ribbon ready when inflating balloons.

Inflate balloons at least 1 hour prior to the start of your party in case of bursting (helium expands in a warm room.)

Average float times: approx. 8 hours for latex and 7 days for foil balloons.

Fill latex balloons to round shape—overfilling produces misshapen balloons and wastes helium.

Curl ribbons by stretching along a sharp edge, for example a ruler, between your thumb and forefinger.
