Creating attractive balloon party decorations needn’t be complicated. However, unclear product details, missing accessories or the wrong filling method can often lead to unnecessary expense. If you’re looking to buy birthday balloons, foil balloons or a complete balloon set, check the intended use, material, size and what’s included before you buy.
Many latex and foil balloons can be filled with helium. However, this doesn’t mean helium is included. For individual balloons, you may also need helium gas for balloons, a suitable cylinder and, where necessary, ribbons or weights.
Latex and foil balloons also differ in how well they float. Latex is more porous, while foil usually holds the gas for longer. Either can work for decorations lasting several hours, but if you need them to last longer, check the stated float time.
A product photo showing a complete balloon display doesn’t always show what’s in the package. So be sure to check:
A balloon set with lots of individual pieces may also take considerably longer to assemble than individual foil balloons.
Football balloons, unicorn balloons and Happy Birthday balloons each make a bold statement. Choose a design that works with your colour scheme, room size and occasion. A single novelty balloon can be the focal point, while neutral latex balloons add volume and help tie the colours together.
Latex balloons are ideal for balloon clusters, garlands and table decorations. They can usually be filled with air or helium. Foil balloons are often available as letters, numbers or novelty designs, and frequently have a self-sealing valve.
If you’re using helium balloons, fill them shortly before the event. Heat can make foil balloons expand, while cold can cause them to visibly shrink. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators and hot cars.
The size determines how visible a balloon will be and how much gas it needs. Examples from the range include:
For a small flat, a few novelty balloons and a small pack of latex balloons are often enough. For a party with several tables or a photo backdrop, a larger balloon set is more practical.
Uninflated and burst balloons should be kept out of reach of young children. Latex balloons can be swallowed, so many products have a minimum age of three years or must be used under adult supervision. This also applies to balloon accessories such as fasteners and glue dots.
Helium cylinders contain gas under pressure. Store them according to the instructions on the packaging, keep them away from heat and place them in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of a disposable cylinder after use in line with local recycling guidelines.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
First, decide whether you want the balloons to float or be fixed in place. For a floating display, you’ll need helium balloons, ribbons and weights. Air is usually enough for walls, arches and table decorations; glue dots or balloon tape can make them easier to put together.
Take care not to damage the valve on foil balloons with sharp objects. Tie latex balloons securely after filling them. For children’s parties, keep decorations out of reach of young children. Pick up and dispose of burst balloons straight away.
How long they last depends on the material, size, temperature and how much gas they contain. Latex balloons usually lose helium faster than foil balloons. Foil balloons with a self-sealing valve can be reused if handled carefully and left undamaged.
It depends on the size and number of balloons. A cylinder stated to have enough capacity for up to 50 balloons may be suitable for a larger display. Check the dimensions and packaging details to get a better idea of how many you’ll actually be able to fill.
Yes. Latex balloons and many foil balloons can be filled with air, then attached to walls, tables or garlands. This means you won’t need helium gas for balloons, although they won’t float.
