Engagement Balloons

Words and Images printed on the balloons

We can print as many words as you want. The minimum would be the bride and the groom’s name and maybe the wedding date. You might want to send out balloons with the invitation in which case you can have a longer message which gives the time and place of the engagement party and your contact details. Some couples even send out printed balloons in lieu of invitations!

Colours of Balloons

We have a range of twenty or more colours, mostly in pearl or satin finish. If you require a pale green to match the brides dress we can offer sea green or mint green or evergreen! Or how about apple green and lime green? Transparent balloons are available, you can fill them with confetti or other lightweight decorations!

Printing ink for the balloons

Printing  is usually in black ink but for a small extra charge we can use another colour ink. We can use white, gold, silver or pink ink on darker colour balloons such as rose pink, burgundy, red or purple. On white or light colour balloons we can use red, dark blue or dark silver ink. If you want us to use ink to match a colour sample then please ask. We will always send you a few samples on request (these will be unprinted normally).

Helium filling or Air Filling?

You can choose to fill your balloons with air or with helium. Air is free (a small pump from us costs £3.50) but the balloons will not float. They can be fixed on  sticks (15 pence each) or tied up in bunches hanging down. Helium costs from £50 for 140 balloons and means that the balloons will float in the air and can be tied to the backs of chairs or used as table decorations. Call Air Products on 0800 920920 and they will give you the location of a local depot who can hire our a helium cylinder.

The helium filled ones only float for eight hours or so and must be filled near the start time of the event. Our accessories include  weights at 15 pence each and 500 metre rolls of ribbon at £5 each. Valves can be fitted with built-in ribbons at 12 pence each.

Special Offers 

If you choose our Special Offer pack we supply 100 beautifully printed balloons plus 100 unprinted and a roll of ribbon for only £66.99 .  Or for same price you can have 100 printed, 50 unprinted and 100 sticks.

Photos and Pictures

If you have your own design, perhaps as used on your invitations, we can print that. You might like a picture of the church for example.

Photographs on balloons: it might be different to have old baby photos of the bride and groom  at the engagement party or at the wedding  reception.  Of course for the hen night or stag night party these photo balloons come into their own and the happy couple can be treated to balloons showing their younger selves. We can work from an old passport photo if required!  

New Ideas for celebrations!

We are printing more  and in gold ink and silver ink. These colours of course are very appropriate for anniversaries! But these colours also look good on ivory or white suitable for decorating the reception. If you need to have them helium filled we have a directory which gives local florists and decorators who will be delighted to come provide an inflation service at the venue.

Ideas for artwork:

We have our own range of stock artwork which includes bells, two hearts, dotted heart which appears behind the text. Also rings and horseshoes. Please ask if you cannot see it on our website. Customers in the past have used a picture of the church, photos of themselves as children or a drawing or cartoon done by a friend of the family.
