Graduation Balloons

For a celebration this special, you'll want to make a statement. AirLoonz balloons in grad-themed designs look great in an entryway or at either end of a gifts table. Balloon arches and garlands always impress at entrances or at a focal point that can be viewed from the dining tables. The ultimate option: you can combine AirLoonz, arches, and garlands for a spectacular balloon backdrop that's sure to offer plenty of photo ops.

First, you'll need a balloon arch frame and anywhere from 90-140 balloons depending on how elaborate you want your arch to be. For the simplest graduation balloon arch, get 96 latex balloons in your grad's school colors. Inflate 4 balloons with air and tie them together to create a flower shape. Position your first layer at the bottom of one side of the arch frame, then add layers using the same technique to complete the arch.

You can buy all your graduation balloons and balloon accessories at Party City. Our selection of graduation balloons boasts the largest variety of themes and school colors. You can schedule balloon delivery for the day of your party and even have your balloons arrive already inflated and arranged, ready to decorate your grad's celebration.

A classic balloon bouquet features one large foil balloon as the centerpiece and latex balloons to surround it. This look works well for graduation bouquets, but all-foil or all-latex bouquets look just as great. Pick a grad theme (school colors, inspirational message, etc.), pick a bouquet type (all-foil, all-latex, or mixed), then choose your balloons.

It depends on the space you're working with, but the minimum number of balloons you'll likely want for a graduation party is six: a five-piece bouquet at the entrance and an AirLoonz as the centerpiece of the party space.
