Photo Balloons

Sure, balloons are fun. We all know what a delightful accent they can be to any party. Watching a balloon float merrily around the room is like a little ray of sunshine. We traditionally know them in an array of plain, undistinguished solid colors. However, there's a far better way to celebrate absolutely any occasion. An eighth wonder of the world, photo balloons can supply a unique and stunning presentation to parties. Photo balloons can have actual photos, logos, or sayings printed on them. They are perfect for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, graduation and New Year's parties, or even at corporate events.

Photo balloons are created using a special type of screen printing. If you want a particular logo or saying printed, you'll need to bring your artwork to the balloon specialist. The words and font should be clearly drawn or printed on a piece of paper. Remember that the design shouldn't have too much detail, because this can be lost in the complex printing system. Instead, stick to large letters and a font that isn't too fancy.

Another type of photo balloon, on which an actual photo is printed on a regular latex balloon, is offered by some printing services. In this case, you can choose just about any photo you wish. If you're ordering through an Internet service that provides photo balloons, simply email a digital copy of the picture as an attachment. Make sure to send it in the .jpg or .gif format. Most services do not accept any other format.

A latex photo balloon is unique because it customizes your party. Say, for example, you're throwing a Christmas party. A great idea would be to involve the guest directly in your photo balloons. About four weeks in advance, ask your guests to send you their favorite Christmas photos. Make sure that each person has copies of their photos, because these photos cannot be retrieved once sent to the printer. Sort through them all, and take the best ones to be printed as photo balloons. Be sure each guest is represented with at least one photo. Imagine your delighted guests as they look in awe at all the delightful Christmas memories floating around the room.

For a more formal event, such as a company office party celebrating its 10th anniversary, logos or mottoes can make good photo balloons. The company name could be printed on some balloons, while inspirational sayings are printed on others. After the party, give the balloons away to guests, as it will be good advertising for the company as well.

Giving a party with a set of photo balloons is sure to imprint the occasion in your guest's minds, leaving them with a splendid image of your event.
