|
<p class="q">Q: Do you sell bags of balloons or products for DIY?</p>
|
|
<p>A: Beach Party Balloons does not sell bags of balloons or decor supplies, only finished product.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: Can I just walk in and buy a few balloons, or do I have to order ahead?</p>
|
|
<p>A: We do not have a minimum order for walk-ins. You can come in and we will sell you 1 balloon if that's what you need. No need to order ahead for a small pickup, we can make it on the spot, and usually there is no wait/line.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: How long will my balloons last?</p>
|
|
<p>A: Beach Party Balloons cannot guarantee products for any amount of time after delivery/pickup. Balloons are fragile by nature, and there are many factors that contribute to how long they will last. High temperatures, direct sunlight, wind and rain will oxidize your balloons quickly. We strongly recommend helium balloons for inside use only, and advise you choose an area for your outdoor decor that is out of direct sun, especially in summer. We are not responsible for balloons that pop or deflate for any reason after they have been picked up or delivered.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: I would like to order balloons for a balloon release.</p>
|
|
<p>A: We are very sorry, but Beach Party Balloons does not sell balloons for release, for any reason. Balloon releases are banned in CT and subject to a fine. We also are an environmentally mindful company, and believe that the intentional release of balloons or any waste is harmful to the environment.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: What steps does BPB take to be environmentally mindful?</p>
|
|
<p>A: BPB weights and/or bags all balloons leaving our shop to minimize any accidental release. We create mainly air-filled designs on frames for outside and discourage all clients from using helium balloons outside.</p>
|
|
<p>Additionally, most of the balloons we use are natural latex, which is biodegradable over 3-6 months. We do our best to educate our clients about responsible use of balloons when it comes to the environment.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: My venue does not allow anything to be attached to the wall or helium balloons, what can you do?</p>
|
|
<p>A: Beach Party Balloons is NOT responsible for any damage caused by balloons, adhesives/attachments, balloons not allowed in by the venue or the cost to retrieve them from the ceiling if they are removed from their weights, which we carefully secure them to. It is your responsibility to check the rules of your venue ahead of time. We offer options like framed garlands, columns, and arches which do not have to be supported by attaching to the wall. If your venue doesn't allow helium balloons, please check if they make an exception for professional decorators, otherwise, we have plenty of air-filled options.</p>

<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: How far in advance should I book?</p>
|
|

|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: Do you deliver, and how far do you travel?</p>
|
|
<p>A: Yes, delivery and on-site setup are available. We serve all over Connecticut, and delivery fees depend on distance and the size of the installation.</p>

</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">

|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|

<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Q: Are balloons safe outdoors?</p>
|
|
<p>A: Outdoor installs are possible, but heat, sun, wind, and rain can shorten balloon life. We will recommend the best placement and materials for outdoor conditions.</p>

<p>These tips help your balloons look great for as long as possible and keep everyone safe.</p>

<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Balloons and temperature</p>
|
|
<p>Please do not leave balloons in a hot car. Helium expands in heat and can cause balloons to pop. Use air conditioning while transporting on hot days.</p>
|
|
<p>If balloons get rained on and start to droop, they will usually float again when dry. Helium balloons may temporarily deflate in the cold and re-inflate when warm.</p>
|
|
<p>A change in temperature can cause vinyl personalized messages to bubble slightly.</p>

</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Child and pet precautions</p>
|
|
<p>Balloons are not a toy. Uninflated or popped balloons can be a choking hazard and should never be left with children under eight without supervision.</p>
|
|
<p>Store balloons away from pets to prevent entanglement or ingestion of broken balloon pieces or decorative contents.</p>
|
|
<p>If a balloon pops, clear away all pieces immediately.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Latex and allergy notice</p>
|
|
<p>Most balloons are made of natural rubber latex and may cause allergies. Please watch for symptoms and seek help if needed.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Do not inhale helium</p>
|
|
<p>Inhaling helium can be dangerous. It can deprive your body of oxygen and may result in serious injury.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Ceilings and fixtures</p>
|
|
<p>Lights, textured paint, rough surfaces, and static can pop balloons. If you plan to place balloons on a ceiling, test a small area first.</p>
|
|
<p>Avoid sharp edges and rough materials.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Latex balloon oxidation</p>
|
|
<p>Clear balloons can become cloudy when exposed to heat and sun. Colored balloons may take on a soft, matte finish.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Balloons can pop</p>
|
|
<p>We use high quality balloons and take every precaution, but once balloons leave our care, they are subject to environment and handling.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Balloons and the environment</p>
|
|
<p>Please dispose of balloons responsibly. At the end of a balloon's life, cut the end with scissors to release the air and place it in the trash.</p>
|
|
<p>Never release balloons. They become litter and can harm wildlife and the environment.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Latex balloons</p>
|
|
<p>We use high quality latex balloons. Latex is a natural, plant-based product and is biodegradable over time.</p>
|
|
<p>Latex is not plastic and is sourced without harming the rubber tree.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Bubble balloons</p>
|
|
<p>Bubble balloons are clear, stretchy, and long lasting. They are great for indoor and outdoor decor because they do not oxidize.</p>
|
|
<p>Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Adult supervision required.</p>
|
|
<p>When finished, snip the end with scissors before disposing.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box">
|
|
<p class="q">Foil balloons</p>
|
|
<p>Foil balloons may conduct electricity. Never release helium-filled foil balloons outdoors.</p>
|
|
<p>Helium foil balloons must always be attached to a weight. When finished, snip the end and dispose in the trash.</p>
