Welcome Week for Colleges are Tons of Fun with Balloon Decorations

Welcome week at tampa apartment complex for incomming USF students and their roommatesThe first week of college is always scary. The new town, new school, and new people all come together and could scare any student. A Tampa apartment complex wanted to take some of the first week of school anxiety away from students and welcome them into their new home on move in day by creating a colorful and fun balloon decor display. We were happy to get in on this project and welcome all the new students into their new homes. A balloon arch in fun summer colors was the perfect choice for move in day. Not only did it serve as a means of pointing the new students into the right direction to the leasing office, but it also created a great backdrop for students and their families to take photos. Parents dropping off their children for the first time to live away from home, students moving into their own place for the first time, and students meeting their roommates for the semester all are special occasions that were highlighted and made extra special by the balloon arch. The “welcome” foil balloons added an additional focal point and special touch to the arch as well, that many students thought was the attention to detail that made them feel welcome and special.

Balloon arches are very versatile. They can be made in any shape, size, and color to fit any event or special day. They are perfect for events that have a central location to denote where guests should go to register. They also are a great centerpiece as well. Many guests take pictures under the arch as a backdrop to photos. Foil lettering also makes arches even more specific to your event. Anything can be spelled out from “happy birthday” to “congratulations” making them perfect for birthdays and even formal events such as weddings or corporate meetings. Let YTE Events & Balloon Decor work with you to customize your event today with an arch to remember.

Balloon Drops for Weddings

White Balloon Drop in TentOne of the biggest parts of a wedding is the entrance and announcement of the newlyweds into the reception. All eyes are on the bride and groom as they enter the room. Music is usually blaring on the sound system as they make their way onto the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife. That special moment is usually captured by the wedding photographer and any guests with a camera or cell phone. We recently were contacted by a couple to make their entrance a little more special and fun. This couple wanted their entrance to stand out and have an element of surprise for their guests. They asked us to create a custom balloon drop that would drop balloons as they entered into the tent as they were announced and made their way to the dance floor. We couldn’t be more excited! As the couple made their way to the middle of the dance floor, the balloons were dropped. A cascade of white pearl balloons floated softly down into the tent and they slow danced to their song. A perfect Pinterest moment!

Balloon drops are a great way to add an element of awe and surprise to an event. They are great for award shows, celebrations of sports teams, and of course weddings. Weddings can even have multiple balloon drops. They are great for the ceremony during the first kiss or end of the ceremony as the bride and groom walk up the aisle. Of course, there is the option our couple decided on as well: to have them at the reception either as an entrance display or as a send off for the last dance.

The drops can be small or big and are completely customizable. Balloons in all sizes and colors can be used to go with the theme of any event, creating a fun element that many guests will love. Balloon drops are unexpected and create smiles on all those who are under its canopy of fun once released, perfect picture opportunities and an event guests will talk about for years to come. Let YTE Events & Decor customize a balloon drop for your next event. You will not be disappointed!

Corporate Training with Balloon Decor Superheroes

Superhero Corporate Event TrainingNot all superheroes wear capes! Work meetings can often be a boring event, but add some balloons and things can really take off! This company decided to have some fun with their team building day and added some superhero balloon décor for their everyday office superheroes.  Superheroes are popular with all ages and YTE Events and Balloon Decor loves incorporating this theme into any event whether it be an office event, birthday party, or even a fun wedding.

The SUPERHERO gold letter balloon centerpiece is an eye catcher! This company chose to use a powerful and playful word to wow the incoming office staff and welcomed them into their unique meeting. The gold foil gives a touch of elegance that is not only great for corporate events, but would give a touch of elegance and class to bridal showers, weddings, and special anniversary parties. The helium balloons can be hung from the ceiling or even tied to tables. The sky is the limit with these letter balloons as anything can be spelled out to deliver your own personal message to your guests.

Balloon columns are always a great way to flank any stage area. These columns went the extra mile and incorporated the superhero theme of the meeting. Using different style of balloons and logos, the columns were made to represent a different superhero.  The Wonder Woman tower incorporated red and yellow balloons, but the addition of the blue and white star balloons gives it an extra touch that makes these towers so unique. The Super Man tower used different balloon colors and the logo to bring The Man of Steel to life. These attention to details are top priority to YTE Events and Balloon Decor. Whether you want to bring a superhero or princess to life, balloon columns are a great way to display your favorite character.

Centerpieces for Hospital Event at Armature Works Tampa

Centerpieces for event at Armature WorksIt’s raining balloons! The YTE Events & Balloon Decor workspace office has been officially overrun with twisted balloons in preparation for a centerpiece we are working on for a local hospital in-service being held at Tampa Armature Works . Balloons in all colors and sizes were being twisted to create a lovely, spring centerpiece to decorate the Armature Works for the special event. The hospital wanted something bright and fun to invoke happiness between the colleagues. The centerpiece was also a great way to add a special touch to the otherwise typical event. Numerous blooms were created in many colors and sizes. Some flowers had stems placed on them to place them into bouquets with figures holding onto them for a fun and whimsical touch. We are sure the hospital employees will be talking about this one for days to come!

Balloon centerpieces are a great way to decorate any event. The great benefits of balloons is that they come in all sizes and colors, which makes it easy to create any vision for your event. While this event called for a centerpiece on a large scale, anything can be created to cater to your need and space size. This centerpiece was created without using any helium, which is more environmentally conscious than helium centerpieces. Of course, helium balloons of any kind can be added to any centerpiece when needed. Centerpieces are a great way to welcome guests into your event and also provide a great backdrop for guests to take photos or for the company to take promotional photos. Birthday parties, baby showers, corporate events such as grand openings and shows, and even weddings are the perfect opportunity to display something unique and colorful. Colors can be changed to make a bold and loud statement or subdued to make a classic and elegant display.

YTE Events & Balloon Decor loves doing the unique visions of our customers. Thinking outside the box is what we do best. Whether a small balloon centerpiece for tables at a small party or a big display of spring flowers for a special event, our artists can make your vision a reality.

Tips for Planning a Magical Fairy Tale Princess Party

Your kid deserves a big treat for her birthday. Therefore, why don’t you go big this year and take her on an epic trip to the land of fairytale princesses. And do you worry, YTE event has the perfect princesses to make the most magical princess birthday party happen. We also have all the supplies that you will need to put together an epic princess birthday party for your loved one.

Crucial Considerations You Have to Make

  • Budget– We do not live in wonderland; cost is real, and it often tends to bite. You will have to factor in such things as the expenses for a venue, the entertainment, food, decorations, party favors, outfits and other party accessories. In line with this, you also need to plan your guest list early enough so that everything fits your budget in good time.
  • Birthday Girl’s Preferences– The party honoree is none other than the birthday girl herself. In fact, around her even the professional princess is powerless! You must thus consider the personality of your child and decide on the right tone of party princess she would want. If your kid is shy, pick a cozy princess theme and throw a small party where only her besties are invited. A big party for a shy kid is a big mistake.
  • Do Not Forget the Boys– A princess party is a girly affair. If you are not keen, the boys will be left out. They won’t enjoy the party much since they won’t relate to fairy tales and princesses. Therefore, include wholesome entertainment that everyone including the boys love. You could for instead have a princess castle for the girls and a knights’ chamber for the boys.
  • Include A Professional Princess Party Entertainer in Your Planning– bring in an expert to advise you on some of the technical aspects of your party. Booking the party princess early will allow you to work hand in hand with the professional to ensure that the party is magnificent.
  • Always be Ready– kids’ parties can be quite unpredictable. The birthday girl may throw a tantrum when least expected; a child may fall sick, or even an accident may happen during the party. Be ready for all this. Of course, if you have a skilled professional party princess who knows how to handle kids, you are better placed to handle such misfortunes.
