21st Birthday Balloons

Find 21st Birthday Balloons Online

In the United States, 21st birthdays are celebrated in a special way because it means that you have reached the legal drinking age. Many young adults will go out with friends to bars and exercise their new freedom by partying hard on the night of their 21st birthday.

Any birthday is a great occasion to bring balloons as a gift for the young man or young woman, and a 21st birthday is no exception. 21st birthday balloons are a festive way to show that you care and will be a celebratory way to mark the occasion.

You can design a bouquet of 21st birthday balloons to suit both young men and young women, depending on your color choices. Since this birthday is usually considered to be a wild one, young men might like darker colors like black, blue, and purple in their balloon bouquet, while young women usually appreciate any color, including pinks and purples.

The most common 21st birthday balloons you will easily find at party stores will be mylar balloons with birthday messages printed on them. They will probably offer plenty of choices of round mylar balloons with some kind of "Happy 21st Birthday" message written on it. If you are lucky, they might also have a cool mylar balloon that is actually in the shape of a 21.

A common way to build a balloon bouquet is to select the main balloon first, which will almost always be the mylar balloon. You might also select a generic birthday balloon as the primary balloon and then add a 21st birthday balloon also. Or, you might want to go all-out and get balloon bouquet with 21 balloons in it to make a statement (just be sure that you'll be able to fit them in your car!).

If you are planning a 21st birthday party and need more balloons than you'd need for a simple balloon bouquet, you might want to consider buying or renting a helium tank. You should figure out how many balloons you will need, and compare the cost of buying them from a party store with the cost of buying a small disposable helium canister or renting a large helium tank.You'll need to factor in the cost of the balloons in addition to the cost of the helium if you are going to fill them yourself.

A main benefit of buying 21st birthday balloons from a store is that you can have them filled for you, saving lots of time. The downside is that you will have to make sure that you can fit them all in your car and take them to the birthday party without popping them on the way. The benefit of filling the balloons yourself is that you might save quite a bit of money if you need dozens or hundreds of balloons and you also can fill them at the location instead of trying to fit them into your car. The downside is that you might not have lots of time to fill the balloons yourself with all of the other party preparations. Recruit help if you decide to fill them yourself.

Another thing to note is that you should never fill the balloons too far in advance; you just won't know if they'll float long enough to last through the party. Droopy balloons are never festive! Ideally, you should fill the balloons the day of the birthday party, and be sure to tie the ribbon above the knot in the tail of the balloon. This should keep the balloons floating longer.

You can use a product called Hi-Float to keep your helium balloons in the air for an extended time. Hi-Float can supposedly keep your balloons floating up to 25 times longer than helium alone, and the company advertises that your 21st birthday balloons could float for up to four weeks if you use it! You can always do a test on a couple balloons just to be sure.

You really can't go wrong if you choose a theme and then stick to it. Decide what kind of theme and colors you want, and then select your 21st birthday balloons to match. You can also bake a coordinating cake or cupcakes, and include special details like matching cupcake wrappers. A birthday party is your chance to show off your creativity, and balloons are a great way to celebrate the birthday guest of honor. Have fun with it!
