The Party
Any gathering of family & friends to celebrate a special occasion, whether it be at
home or in a function room can, realistically be termed “a party”. Bloomers Bal-
loons & Party Shop will be of benefit to you from the initial planning and organiza-
tion stage right through to the delivery of your unique, personal event.
First things first
The most important element of any party is the guests - no party is com-
plete without them. Your guest list must be drawn up well in advance and
the invitations sent to allow sufficient time for everyone to reply.
If the party is to have a dress code, whether it ’s formal or fancy dress, your
guests need time to organize themselves.
Until replies are all in, you have no clear idea of numbers of guests and
therefore how to arrange the seating or the amount of food required to feed
them all.
With the guest list confirmed, remember to book the :-
venue
entertainment
caterers
decorators
transport
Consider the age ranges of the guests and try to have activities and items of
interest on the tables for them all e.g. the kids :-
Bouncy Castle
Poppers, blowouts, streamers, favors
Pinãta
Balloons
For the adults - see kids !

Function Decoration
Regardless of the size of your party, there are several important areas to consider
for decoration—some of these may not apply to your party but, all should be
considered :-
Outside the venue (driveway, trellis, gazebo, car)
Entrance area to the venue (doorway, foyer)
Direction of guests to the main party room (hallway, corridor, stairway)
Main party room entrance (doorway, reception area)
Once your guests are in the main party room, what particular areas of the room
deserve highlighting on this special occasion ?
Some events have a formal seating arrangement and buffet areas, others have a
more relaxed arrangement. Important areas are usually relevant regardless of the
party set-up :-
Direction of guests to the host & hostess table
Main table decoration & / or backdrop
Guest tables / favors
Buffet table
Cake table
Dance-floor
Stage area
Bar / drinks area
Wall decoration around the function room
Special effects such as a balloon drop or an exploding balloon
Photo backdrop
Other decorations & party items not restricted to a particular area are:-
banners, bunting, confetti, balloons, streamers, poppers, blowouts

As you organize your party, you will be making a conscious decision as to whether it
is to be a glitzy “no holds barred” event , an eye-catching yet classy affair or, a sub-
tly decorated, yet memorable occasion.
Regardless of the event, there are areas that can reasonably be tackled yourself
and others best left to the professionals.
With this in mind :-
Do get professional advice before you start - you don’t need to take it but it
is better to have a knowledgeable viewpoint.
Do arrange for your florist & balloon decorator to match colour schemes
For a classy look, keep the colours to one or two - use foil balloons, see-
through and double bubble balloons.
To create a stylish, subtle effect, use pearlised latex balloons & double bub-
ble balloons.
Do get a professional to do the décor - it is not only probably more cost
effective, it saves you time & guarantees the result.
For the no holds barred party - anything goes and your local professional
will have lots of ideas & balloons to make your party a memorable event.
Do be prepared for well meaning relatives & friends to offer to do your dé-
cor. The result is rarely what you expected & often a disappointment. Get
professional help & advice.
Don’t assume the balloon colours have to match the bridesmaids dresses.
Coordinating with the room colours is often a better option.
Don’t assume you can only have table décor in two and three balloon ar-
rangements - there are dozens of other options.
Don’t assume that balloons are all you can have - we have coordinated
table ware, bunting, banners and fabric as well as themed party bags &
piñatas.
Do ask for free advice on ideas & what we can do for your occasion
