We suggest letting us know as soon as possible, no matter how far in advance, to make sure you get a date and time reserved. Generally, we ask that custom orders be placed at least 2-weeks in advance to give our team adequate time to create something awesome for you! During the holiday seasons, we recommend 2-3 months in advance. This doesn’t mean you need to know all the details of your event yet, we just need to know your date, time and location.

If you have a last minute request within the same week of your party, we still may be able to accommodate you! Send us an email hello@bigassballoons.com with your party details and we will let you know our availability.

For gender reveal BABs, we can take your order now and accept the gender results 24 hours prior to delivery.

Most of our products don’t experience problems but we want to make sure we inform you how to best maintain your BABs item outdoors, as heat, direct sunlight and wind are not ideal!

Direct Sunlight/Heat: We recommend placing the BABs item in shaded areas, as direct sunlight for short periods of time can cause BABs to expand beyond their limits and pop. We don’t recommend they stay outside in direct sunlight for more than 30 minutes if the weather is over 80 degrees or with no cloud coverage. If you have confetti in your garland those can turn cloudy if left outside thanks to humidity and science. Darker colors soak up the heat more so if you want your garland to go outside, consider lighter colors.

Wind: Our BAB weights are not made to withstand medium to strong winds. If left unattended, the BABs can potentially fall off tables or structures they are placed on if not tied down to a permanent object. We will take precaution by double tying our weights but recommend you have additional weigh-down options on hand. We’ve seen customer use pails with sand, bricks, sandbags, etc. to prevent mid-party mishaps. If your party is in a grassy area with soft enough ground, we can provide you with one stake per BAB if you would like, just let us know. For garlands, we will take precaution by attaching your garland in as many spots as possible but strong guts of wind can shift the garland during your event. If installed near gardens, light fixtures, brick walls, wooden structures, etc. parts of the garland could bump against them from a strong breeze and cause some of the BABs to pop.

PLEASE NOTE: We will be unable to provide any refunds if any balloons pop after we deliver them safely to your event.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2024***

Due to the HOT HOT HEAT , outdoor installations May through September will incur a higher installation fee based on your garland total. Please consider an indoor event because heat and humidity can cause damage to the balloons (discoloration, popping, etc), everyone’s sanityyy and safety!

Should you decide to continue with an outdoor install, plan for a shaded/covered area and please review our outdoor disclaimer: https://www.bigassballoons.com/outdoordisclaimer/

Regardless of tassel length, all of our BABs stand approximately 8-feet tall (5-foot ribbon + BAB). Please see diagram to see what works for you! Also note that the ribbon can be shortened for table toppers.

Your doctor’s office can email hello@bigassballoons.com or call us at 713-899-9868 with your results.

Our BABs are made out of 100% latex and naturally shrink over night. We recommend getting your confetti BABs delivered the day of your event to prevent any premature casualties and uh-ohs. If you are ordered custom vinyl, this looks best the day of your event because it will wrinkle as the BAB shrinks. This can happen as soon as 8-hours depending on outside conditions.

BABs generally stay afloat up to 48 hours, but cannot be guaranteed as it depends on how they are stored (temperature and humidity) and how much weight is hung from them. Non-confetti BABs can last over a week with a special solution per your request!

We cannot guarantee your BABs will last after our team leaves the venue…We ask that if you must move the balloons, follow your standard balloon protocols – stay away from all sharp, hot things and little people haha! But really, you never know what‘s sticking out of a nice, clean wall so try not to let them bounce off of anything especially brick, wood, hot cars, trees, grass, etc.

Big Ass Balloons will replace any BABs that we pop, but is not responsible for any balloons you pop or let go.

The highest quality biodegradable latex and mylar “foil” balloons.

Sorry, we do not have a storefront 🙁
