Large Gingerbread Man Balloon

Handling your balloons might seem straightforward, but even the smallest oversight can lead to balloon mishaps. Here’s how to keep them in perfect shape:

Things to Avoid with Your Inflated Balloons:

• Contact with sharp or hot objects
• Claws, beaks, and playful pets
• Dragging through doorways or getting caught in car trunks or doors
• Mishandling by enthusiastic little (or big) hands
• Extreme weather conditions

Ensuring Your Balloons Last:

At The Party Hut, we use only top-quality balloons that can last up to 5 days, and sometimes even up to a record 4 weeks! To keep them looking their best, maintain them at room temperature. If they’re delivered a day before your event, it's wise to open the box to check their condition, then keep them stored safely inside until needed.

Pro Tips for Best Presentation:

Our balloons may come with one our signature handmade sand weights. These are great to keep and reuse as many times as you like, don't worry they are made of fully recyclable items.If the ribbons get tangled during transit, a little TLC will have them looking perfect in no time. Enjoy your celebration with confidence knowing your Party Hut balloons are set for a spectacular display!

At The Party Hut, we understand that balloons are delicate and sometimes, despite best efforts, they might be damaged during transit. However, we promise to do everything possible to rectify any issues for you.

At The Party Hut, we love balloons and the joy they bring to every celebration. However, we strongly advise against the release of balloons into the environment. While we understand that balloon releases can be a beautiful tribute or celebration gesture, they pose significant risks to wildlife and the environment once they leave your sight.

Why We Discourage Balloon Releases:

• Wildlife Safety: Balloons and their attachments can cause harm to animals, both on land and in water. Wildlife may mistake balloon debris as food, leading to injury or death.
• Environmental Impact: Balloons contribute to litter and can take years to break down, affecting natural landscapes and waterways.

If You Choose to Release Balloons:

While we do not condone balloon releases, if you decide to proceed, we urge you to consider these safer practices to minimise environmental impact:

1. Use Natural Materials: Opt for balloons made from 100% natural latex, which are biodegradable, though not immediately. Avoid using foil balloons as they are not biodegradable.
2. Avoid Attachments: Do not attach strings, ribbons, or any other materials that can harm wildlife. These additions can entangle animals and pose additional environmental hazards.
3. Limit Numbers: Keep the number of balloons to a minimum to reduce the potential harm and environmental footprint.

Alternatives to Balloon Releases:

We encourage considering alternatives that provide the same symbolic gesture without environmental risks:

• Plant Trees or Flowers: A lasting tribute that benefits the earth.
• Use Eco-Friendly Confetti: A colorful option that can be similar to releasing balloons but is safer for the environment.
• Light Candles: A serene and beautiful way to mark an occasion without leaving a footprint.

At The Party Hut, we are committed to protecting our planet while celebrating life’s special moments. We invite our customers to explore more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways to celebrate. Thank you for making responsible choices that help protect our environment.
