What to Expect

Our balloon twisting is fast, interactive, and designed to move lines while still delivering creative flair.
On average, our artists create:

  • 15-20 simple designs per hour

  • More time will be needed for detailed or themed requests

For open public events, keep in mind that kids often return for second or third balloons. This makes it impossible to guarantee how many individual guests we’ll serve.

Built for Big Groups

(But Let’s Be Real)

At birthday parties or RSVP-only events, we can give you accurate numbers. But at public events—like festivals or park parties—lines can grow quickly. If a balloon pops, they’re back for another.

We’ll twist as fast as we can, but repeat guests and open crowds mean we can’t promise an exact headcount served unless the event is capped.

Creative Designs for Any Age

Balloon twisting isn’t just for kids. Teens love wearable balloon art. Adults join in too. We tailor designs to the vibe of your event—fast, fun, and photo-ready.

Balloon Twisting FAQ’s

1. What kinds of balloon designs do you make?
We create fast, fun balloon designs like animals, swords, flowers, crowns, hats, and other wearable or handheld creations. Our focus is on style, speed, and smiles—not overly complex sculptures.

2. How many balloon creations can you make in an hour?
It varies:

  • Simple balloons: 20–30 per hour

  • More detailed wearables or multi-balloon pieces: fewer per hour

We do our best to balance creativity with efficiency so everyone has a chance to get something.

3. Can you serve everyone at a large event?
At private parties with set guest lists, yes—we plan to accommodate everyone. At public or open events, like festivals, we can’t guarantee how many guests we’ll serve due to walk-ups, repeat visitors (especially after balloons pop), and overall volume. We’ll keep the line moving and do our best, but there are limits without crowd controls.

4. Do you have age recommendations for balloon twisting?
Yes. We recommend balloon twisting for children ages 3 and up. While it’s a fun activity, younger children should be supervised, as popped or broken balloons can pose a choking risk. For children 3 and under, balloons will be handed to an adult for liability purposes.

5. Do you offer balloon twisting alongside other services?
Absolutely. Balloon twisting pairs perfectly with face painting or glitter tattoos. We can create a schedule to rotate services or bring multiple artists to make sure the fun keeps flowing without long lines.

6. Do you offer themed balloon designs?
We don’t offer highly specific or custom-themed balloon designs. We focus on fast, visually fun creations that everyone can enjoy—perfect for busy parties and big crowds.

7. Do you have setup requirements for balloon twisting?
Yes. We ask for:

  • A shaded or covered space outdoors (or we’ll add a tent rental fee)

  • Enough room for a table and line

  • Protection from wind or rain for outdoor events

We arrive at least 10-15 minutes early to set up. If early setup is required beyond that, an additional fee applies.

8. Do you charge travel or booking fees?
Yes:

  • Travel Fee: $25 for events outside the 485 loop

  • Booking Minimum: 2-hour minimum for all bookings

  • Deposit: 50% due to reserve your spot, non-refundable

  • Final Payment: Due 3 days before the event
