Why Balloons Are Perfect for Back-to-School?

Balloons bring a burst of color and energy to any event. They are large and eye-catching! They encourage kids and families to take pictures, and show your community you were thinking about them!

Here are my top 4 Back-to-School Balloon Decor Ideas:

Welcome Arches

Create a grand entrance with colorful balloon arches, that can be seen from far away and make students and staff feel special as they walk into the school.

Welcome Columns

Tall balloon columns placed at strategic locations like entrances and hallways, create a fun environment but also help manage the flow of traffic. Use columns to identify where different grades or classrooms should go.

Photo Backdrops

Families want to snag the perfect back-to-school photo, help them by creating a creative balloon backdrop, wall, or frame to encourage photo taking. Not only are these amazing photo ops for students, but the photos are perfect to show how much the kids have grown at your end-of-year stepping up and graduation events

School Mascot Sculptures

Want to leave your students and families speechless? Custom School mascot sculptures are for you! These over-the-top balloon designs can be used as a display or even worn by your silliest teacher around the school.

Customization Options

Make your balloon decor truly unique with these fun customization options. Add a personal touch with student names, welcome messages, or motivational quotes. Use themed balloons in school colors, subject-specific designs, or seasonal themes to make the decor even more special. For an extra wow factor, include confetti-filled balloons, LED lights, or organize balloon releases for a dramatic effect.

Tips for Long-Lasting Balloon Decor

Proper Inflation: Use high-quality helium or air pumps for inflation.
Placement: Keep balloons out of direct sunlight and away from sharp objects.
Secure Tying: Use durable materials to tie and anchor balloons securely.
