Helium balloons

[Clara0015]

Hi all - 1st birthday coming up so I’m getting prepared.

I want to get some helium balloons, probably from the card factory. How long do these usually last (looking full and not sad)?

Preferably i want to pick them up the day before so I’m not rushing around on the day.

I've always been advised latex ones will last 12-24 hours when i've bought previously. In some cases they've gone on for a couple of days and still looked ok, but others have drooped a bit same day.

If you can get them same day (for peace of mind) I would, but have never had too much of a problem getting them the day before.

Please, OP, think of the environment and global helium supplies and choose something else. Helium is critical for use in medical breathing devices, and once it's gone, it's gone. It shouldn't be wasted in balloons.

Wishing you a lovely celebration.
