PLAN THE BALLOONS. ENJOY THE PARTY.

Your balloon collection guide.

Choose your balloons online, collect from Exciting Parties at 200 Stroud Green Road, London N4 3RN, and pay in the shop. Allow at least 24 hours for inflated balloons and bouquets, and wait for your ready-to-collect confirmation before travelling. All online orders are currently collection only.

Start with the look you want

You do not have to include latex balloons. Every builder step is optional. Choose any combination you like, use just one type of balloon, or skip straight to foils, jumbo shapes, numbers or letters using the step tabs.

For a coordinated bouquet, start with your colours. Choose regular or pearl latex, add plain foil hearts, stars or round balloons, then decide whether you want a larger centrepiece. The bouquet builder separates standard foils from jumbo shapes, numbers and letters so you can mix the sizes you want.

Celebrating an age? Pick the digit on the number balloon page, then select an available brand/range and colour. To spell a name or message, browse letter balloons. The Oak Tree letter range includes gold, silver, blue and pink; the product options show which combinations are available.

What will the balloons cost?

Inflated regular and pearl latex balloons cost £2.50 each for the one-day option, or £3.00 each with gel to increase duration. Plain heart, star and round foil balloons cost £4.49 each, inflated. Other printed foils, jumbo shapes, numbers and letters have their own product prices.

The builder adds the selected inflated-balloon prices together. There is no extra bouquet assembly charge. These examples show the arithmetic; they are not fixed packages and depend on the colours and products being available.

Three latex balloons + two plain foils

3 × £2.50 + 2 × £4.49 = £16.48.

The same selection with gel in the latex balloons

3 × £3.00 + 2 × £4.49 = £17.98.

Displayed prices include VAT. Check the current product options and basket total when ordering. Stock and prices are checked again when your bouquet is added to the basket.

Choose the inflation option for your event

The £2.50 latex option is our one-day inflation option. Gel costs an additional 50p per latex balloon and is offered to increase duration. It is not a promise that every balloon will last a fixed number of days. If you are collecting ahead of your celebration, call the shop and discuss the collection and event times before choosing.

Arrange collection before you travel

Give us at least 24 hours for inflated balloons and bouquets. Place the order online using offline payment, then pay when you collect. Wait for confirmation that your order is ready; placing an order does not mean it is ready immediately.

We are open Monday 14:00–18:00, Tuesday to Friday 10:30–18:00 and Saturday 10:00–18:00. Sunday is closed. Check directly for bank holidays or time-sensitive plans. See shop contact details and collection hours.

Think about the journey home

Jumbo shapes, numbers and letters take up more space than standard foils. Tell us the number and size of balloons you are collecting and ask about suitable transport before you travel. Keep them secure during the journey so they cannot obstruct the driver’s view. Avoid squeezing them against sharp or rough objects, and take them indoors after collection.

Keep balloons weighted and supervise children and pets. Never inhale helium or release balloons outdoors. Collect broken or deflated balloons promptly and dispose of them responsibly. Follow the warnings supplied with your balloons. Balloon manufacturer TUFTEX’s responsible-use guidance explains these precautions.

Finish the party details

Browse partyware and decorations, fancy dress or cards and gifts alongside your balloons. These orders are also for collection while delivery is being set up.
