Whether it is a holiday party or a birthday party, balloons and balloon art are a great way to add some flair! In addition to balloons, face paint is a great way for kids of all ages to have fun and have awesome photos to look back on!

While holiday parties typically have décor and themes relating to the holiday- birthday parties often have any number of themes! Below are some popular ideas for birthday parties, and what balloon art and face paint can go with them!

Sweet Treat

Who doesn’t love sweets? Whether your party is based on a certain candy board game or just general love of sweets, many balloon art pieces can sweeten up that party!

Balloon Ideas: an ice cream cone, an arch with candy cane colors, or even a lollipop.

Face Paint Inspiration: candies, sweets such as cupcakes, swirly mints, and lollipops.

Under The Sea

Ocean-themed birthday parties have been a classic go-to for years, from mermaids to pirates. Whether you add in aquatic movie characters or keep it strictly ocean, it’s sure to be a hit!

Balloon Ideas: Fish, algae, mermaids, sharks, pirates, and aquatic animals.

Face Paint Inspiration: scales, sharks, animals, and fish.

Farms and farm animals have also been a classic birthday party theme. Whether you have the party at your house or a petting zoo, you can always add extra flair with some of the below suggestions!

Balloon Ideas: Cows, chickens, really any farm animal!

Face Paint Inspiration: farm animals, such as cows, pigs, and sheep!

Movie Magic

Popular movies are always a hit when it comes to parties. Whether it’s the latest superhero film or a classic kids’ film, below are some ways to incorporate that movie magic into your party!

Balloon Ideas: superheroes, tiaras, characters, you name it!

Face Paint Inspiration: superhero logos, movie characters, or prince and princess!

Bonus: If you’re not referencing any specific movie but rather going for a “Hollywood” theme, or maybe doing a movie viewing or premier, ask about one of our balloon photo frames! We can incorporate any colors (for example: red and black, or silver and gold, for Hollywood), and once it’s complete with props like a clapboard, stars, and movie reels, you’re sure to be left with some amazing photos! Of course, these can be added to any party, and be made to fit any theme!

The Sky Is The Limit

When we say that- we truly mean it! While the above suggestions are just some of the popular choices, we are happy to help you brainstorm or take your dream design and bring it to life! Our master artists are pros and can make anything from machines to movie characters, and our fantastic face painters can do everything from animals to insects, plus characters! Of course, most often, kids will want to pick their own facepaint, and to that, we say, “Well, okay!”. To add an extra element of fun and flair, we recommend asking about our singing telegrams! We have select costumes available, but if there’s a specific one you’d like, give us a call, and we can see if we can work out magic to make it happen.

We have been providing the San Antonio area with entertainment and dazzling décor since Balloonamations became All Things Balloon in 2012. We put immense effort and pride into our singing telegrams, balloon art, decorations, and face paint. To book any of our services or to ask any questions, visit us online or call us at 210-734-9860!
