Birthdays are often best celebrated with balloons. No matter what milestone you are celebrating — from 30th to 70th and every age in between — incorporating birthday balloons into your event is a festive and fun way to mark another year’s passing.
At PartySlate, we love discovering unique and memorable interpretations of traditional décor elements — and balloon installations are getting more and more creative. These 14 birthday balloon ideas are anything but ordinary, and are the perfect inspiration for your own birthday party or event. Metallic balloon arches framing a restaurant bar, ceilings filled with floating décor, and balloon accents that complete a birthday design are just a few of our favorite birthday balloon ideas. Organized by milestone, start browsing these 14 birthday balloon ideas to inspire your next birthday party.
