[DON’T] LET IT GO, LET IT GO… BALLOON TIME WITH BRITMUMS
There are two things that made a party when I was little. Cake….and balloons.
The boys’ Frozen party was magical. Everything they could ever have imagined was there, including the Princesses [but that’s another post]. They had 40 friends for two hours, and partied on afterwards with their cousins until nearly 5pm when the bouncy castles were deflated and they waved their goodbyes on their way back to the Midlands.
Since 2011 when Our Little Adventurer had his first birthday party, at ridiculous o’clock on the morning of the party, the mister has sped off down the country lanes [at a law-abiding, sensible speed, if you’re a traffic officer reading this] with my parents in tow in their car, to collect balloons from the nearest town.
Not only does it take at least an hour out of our party preparation time, but we risk the balloons popping before they are even on the party tables, and I can only buy [or guess at when I’m buying, sorry husband] the amount of balloons I he can fit into the cars.
Not this time.

With 40 children, two cars of helium happiness wasn’t going to cut it. Thankfully, we were working with Britmums and Balloon Time to celebrate the boys’ birthdays – and for the sum of £22 from ASDA, Balloon Time will come to your rescue. A helium tank and 30 coloured balloons that you can transport anywhere and inflate your balloons in safety, at your venue! We may or may not have loved the kit so much that we bought two…
Here are some of the balloons we filled for the party. The foiled balloons were provided separately from our favourite online party megastore, Party Packs. There were twenty foiled star balloons and a couple of Anna and Elsa transparent ball balloons…

There were four Olaf balloons…but one of them met their doom *pop*!

I’m working with BritMums and Balloon Time as part of the “Celebration Club”, highlighting inventive and fun ways of using balloons. I was provided with a Balloon Time helium kit and have been compensated for my time. All editorial and opinions are my own. Visit www.balloontime.com for more information and party inspiration.

this looks so cute… and I can;t wait to see Cinderella this weekend.. I just wish they made her a brunette instead of barbie blond
I've always associated Cinderella with being blonde so I don't mind, but I am looking forward to seeing it!
This looks like such an adorable birthday party set up! I have used balloon time before and it is such a lifesaver for big parties, definitely a must-have.
Thank you! I bought a couple more already for different celebrations!
Omg what cute balloons!!! My princess is 2 and I swear she would rather play with a balloon than any of her expensive toys sitting in her room!
I know! Balloons are just fascinating for my boys. Even when they pop, they still go back for more 🙂
Oh wow, that's decorated so beautifully. So light and elegant… love it!
Thank you so much Beth!
Such a beautiful set-up…my kids would be jealous!! lol! Those balloons are adorable!
I do get a bit carried away at Birthday time, it's so much fun!
So many lovely balloons – if a child is into Frozen they'd love that.
The balloons are really nice, what a beautiful party set up. (do tell me that you sucked on the helium to get funny voices?)
Perfect solution to the problem and fairly priced in line with inflation (see what I did there?) 😉
What a gorgeous party you put together! One of my boys thinks it's not a birthday unless there are balloons.
I love, love, love the party set up. I want to see more!
Balloons make a nice addition to party decorations! These are some great ideas for a girls party, very nice indeed 🙂
I have to say I think that is an amazing price for all those balloons and helium too. Looks like a fab time was had by all.
What a beautifully decorated party! The boys must have had so much fun!
Your parties are always so cool. My kiddos would love to have a party like that. I love the baloons! =)
The balloons are very cute and I love the setup of all so adorable my daughter would love this.
My daughter had an Olaf cake for her party last summer!! I love that this one is headless its adorable!
This is such a great idea for a party, I bet your kids were thrilled!
That looks much more organised than our parties 😉
What a beautiful set up! My kids love balloons too. Those Frozen ones are so pretty. My daughter had a Frozen party and she had a wonderful time. Enjoy!
You have some amazing ideas with balloons. My son loves balloons and he would get a kick at some of your ideas. Continue to be creative and have fun!
Those balloons are gorgeous and what a lovely all over presentation! x
This looks absolutely amazing, I love the sweet cart too x
This helium kit is great, we bought one for my daughter's birthday party a couple of years ago.
Omg! wish we had such cute balloons in the United States! I've never seen snowflake balloons.. so pretty. The whole party decor looks very pretty because of these balloons.
Stunning party – we didn't have balloons at Eliza's but will be doing them for Isaac – boys have to have balloons
Amazing party! Balloons always add such fun to any party.
Every girl would totally love this kind of party theme – too lovely and Olaf is such a cutie, too!
Now all this is just too too cute, but we have no more babies in this household. All grown up! I'll have to pass these thoughts on to my grown babies.
I may be too big now but I still love balloons 🙂 I wouldn't mind having them on my brithday party 😀
That is such good value. The local card shop charges £4 for just one inflated balloon!
Aww my daughter would love this such a great idea
Oh I love these! What a great way to set the scene – such an amazing looking party!
I actually used one of these when preparing a room for our staff xmas party a few years back and it was great! So quick and easy to do and cheaper than buying the balloons already inflated!
oh wow this whole set looks amazing, wish i could do something like this for my daughters birthday x
I absolutely adore balloons and agree they make the party venue look so spectacular when there's loads! I have always bought mine ready inflated too but worried about them, so always wanted to try this method! Definitely sounds worth the money, will give it a go next time! ps your balloons and decorations look amazing x
What a magical looking party. Commenting for myself and on behalf of BritMums and thanking you for taking part
Amazing set up! I love the Balloon Time, no worries of the balloon floating out of the car on your way back home with them. Super fun!
