Are balloons safe for kids?

The courier calls the number you left and waits a short time. With your permission the set can be handed to reception, security or a neighbour. If nobody can take it, we agree a new slot or bring the balloons back.

Photograph the balloons as soon as it happens and send the picture to the operator. Balloons that were intact at handover usually burst from heat, a ceiling fan or a slammed door, but if it looks like a defect we replace them.

We work in three languages: English, Russian and Arabic. The site itself has all three versions, and the same team answers in the chat, on Instagram @bemyballoon and on WhatsApp at +971 58-531-1583.

Yes, and it takes two minutes. Tell the operator the occasion, the recipient’s age, preferred colours, where the set will stand and roughly the budget, and we propose a composition instead of leaving you to guess.

Helium balloons arrive already inflated, weighted and tied — the courier hands over a finished set. The only exception is an installation such as an arch or a photo zone, which is assembled on site by our team.

An ordinary sedan carries about 20 to 40 inflated 11-inch latex balloons, or one generous bouquet with a foil figure. Ceiling sets, arches and columns need a van, so we bring large orders in our own vehicles.

Yes. Filling balloons you already own is a separate service: bring them to our warehouse in Al Quoz at an agreed time and we will inflate them with helium or air, tie ribbons and fit weights.

HiFloat is a gel we coat inside latex helium balloons. It seals the pores of the rubber so helium escapes more slowly and the balloon stays up for one to three days instead of one evening.

Latex balloons are made of natural rubber and do biodegrade, but no balloon is certified organic in the food sense, and foil is plastic. We reduce impact by reusing and disposing properly.

Yes, we collaborate with photographers, hotels, restaurants and corporate brands, and we review influencer proposals case by case. A clear brief with dates and format gets a faster answer.

We consider charitable and community requests individually rather than running a fixed programme. Send the details of the initiative and the team will look at what we can realistically support.

Indoors it rises to the ceiling and stops. Released outdoors it climbs until falling air pressure expands it beyond bursting point, typically several kilometres up, then falls back as litter.

Lift follows volume, not price. An 11-inch latex balloon carries roughly 10 to 14 grams, a 24-inch one about 80 to 100 grams, and flat foil numbers lift little beyond themselves.

In most venues, no. UAE hotels and event spaces widely prohibit coloured smoke and powder because of fire detection and staining, so a balloon or confetti reveal is the practical alternative.

Balloons cover more volume per dirham than any other decor, go up and come down within hours, adapt to any colour scheme, and leave no marks on walls or ceilings.

One latex balloon takes a few seconds on a professional regulator and a foil number under half a minute, but tying, ribbons and weights mean a set of fifty takes around half an hour.

On the factory side: even wall thickness, heat-sealed seams, self-sealing valves and stable pigments. On our side: HiFloat coating, double-stuffed latex and air-filled frame construction.

Four things drive the price: material and size, how much helium the balloon consumes, extras such as HiFloat and printing, and the assembly labour behind garlands and installations.

Even at the same size, price differs by finish, licensed artwork, how much helium the balloon holds, and whether HiFloat, printing or extra accessories have been added.

We do not run a walk-in retail shop. The catalogue is online, and orders can either be delivered or collected from our warehouse in Al Quoz Industrial 2 at an agreed time.
