Custom Balloons With Your Photo, Name or Text
Custom balloons put a face, a name or a message on the decorations at a birthday, a baby shower, a graduation, an anniversary or a welcome-home party, so the room is about the guest of honour before anyone says a word.

Same logo on every piece: order one or many, no minimum.
The shelf has a mylar helium balloon, plus round and heart-shaped balloons in a larger and a smaller size. Every balloon is printed in full colour, so a photo works as well as lettering. Prices run A$34.98–A$48.10 depending on the balloon. Upload a photo, add a note with a name and a message, or both; we design the balloon and email you a proof. Nothing is made until you approve that proof. A balloon is small and curved, so a close crop of one or two faces and a few large words read better than a group photo or a long sentence, and a name set in bold letters carries across the room.
Mylar, round or heart-shaped balloons
The mylar helium balloon is the foil-style balloon on the shelf, the one named for helium, and a single statement piece for a photo or a name. The round and heart-shaped balloons come in a larger and a smaller size, so the larger ones can carry a photo while the smaller ones repeat a name, an age or a date across the room.
Every balloon is printed in full colour. The guide to flat full-colour printing covers keeping words inside a safe area away from the edge, which matters more than usual on a balloon, because the sides curve away from anyone looking at it.
Balloons with the rest of the party
Balloons decorate the room, and the rest of the party can carry the same design further. A custom yard sign announces the birthday or the graduation on the lawn, a custom acrylic sign welcomes guests at the table, and custom stickers seal the favour bags. For a banner-style welcome by the door, custom flags take the same photo.
Custom Balloons With Your Photo, Name or Text — common questions
- Should I choose the mylar balloon or the round and heart-shaped balloons?
- The mylar helium balloon is the foil-style balloon on this shelf, a single statement piece named for helium. The round and heart-shaped balloons are the classic party shapes in a larger and a smaller size, so choose them to fill a room and the mylar one to make one balloon the centre of attention.
- Can a photo go on a custom balloon?
- Yes. Every balloon here prints in full colour. Crop tight on one face or a couple, because the surface curves away at the sides and a wide group shot loses the people standing at the edges.
- Which balloon size suits a name rather than a photo?
- The smaller round and heart-shaped balloons suit a first name, an age or a date repeated across a bunch, while the larger size gives a photo more room. Mixing the two, with photos on the large ones and names on the small ones, fills a room without repeating one picture everywhere.
- How short should a custom balloon message be?
- A few words: a name, an age, a welcome home or a happy anniversary with the date. Large, bold letters in a colour that contrasts with the background read from across a room, while thin script fonts get lost on a curved surface.
- Can every balloon at a party carry a different photo?
- Yes. Each balloon is designed on its own, so one can show a baby photo, the next a graduation portrait and the next a family picture, and each one gets a proof before it is made.
