Balloon choices - there are 2 main types of balloons for delivery that are available from most providers. First is Latex. Latex are the single color balloons that we grew up with. These balloons are great for adding volume to a balloon bouquet for delivery. Typically they are also very wallet friendly. Because they come in hundreds of colors they are also great for setting a theme or mood of your balloon bouquet. Latex balloons are not perfect though. They typically only have a fly time (how long the will stay up in the air after they are blown up) of about 1 day. They are also very prone to popping. A general suggestion is to order more latex balloons than you need to ensure that your balloon bouquet will look good for as long as possible.

The second type of common balloon is a mylar. Mylars are not made from latex and often will have a printed design or words on them. Mylars also come in different shapes and sizes allowing you to customize your message. Balloons bouquets made up of mylar balloons are often more costly BUT make a bigger statement. Mylars also typically have a fly time of up to 7 days.

Balloon bouquets aren't just for kids, either. Anyone in your life can be celebrated with a cheerful, unique bouquet of balloons.

Every gift is made more special with the accompaniment of a balloon bouquet. Many of these companies can deliver wonderful treats and special balloon bouquets for you. Let’s also be clear...a single balloon is still a “bouquet” that can upgrade any gift.

Sending treats for someone’s birthday or special occasion is important. They will love them, enjoy them, share them, and be thankful, grateful, and feel loved. Adding balloon delivery onto that gift ups the WOW factor and also because mylar balloons can fly for up to 7 days the party won’t end. They will have memories of YOU and your thoughtfulness for days to come.

A Balloon arrangement would make a great addition to your event design. No party is complete without balloons. You can add balloons to direct guests to the entrance of your party or for other functional reasons. Some of the providers listed above can create wonderful party balloon arches and other types of balloon art. Having a professional design and deliver your balloon bouquet to your event will also save you a lot of time and hassle. Alternatively, if you are on a budget there is still a ton of fun a bouquet of single-color balloons like gold or silver or blue can add. A Latex balloon arrangement is the best for displaying color uniformity. However, it is also acceptable to mix colors like gold and silver in 1 bouquet if they have a special significance.

When placing your order ensure to view the actual color of the balloon. Silver and gold, especially, as some providers will substitute yellow and grey which could ruin the color scheme of your party and would not make you very happy. This is really only a concern for a latex balloon arrangement and mylar are computer-generated colors and your silver and gold will be true silver and gold.

Trust us, if you add a balloon bouquet or 2 to your event you will be happy, your guests will be happy and your party will be a success.

A Mylar balloon typically floats for 5-7 days.

How long will a latex balloon float?

Flowers and gift baskets are some of the oldest gifts to be delivered in the US. Big companies like 1800Flowers aggregate lists of local flower shops that can deliver flowers for you. Most companies can deliver flowers today for you or you can schedule a flower delivery for tomorrow or another day soon. Flower delivery for a new baby or flower delivery for a birthday can be really nice. Overall flowers make a wonderful gift but they are not always appropriate. Does your boyfriend want flowers? What about your 2-year-old niece? Flowers also can send the wrong message to your recipient in professional settings. When flower delivery is not the move we’ve got you covered with loads of other great gift ideas from companies that are all local to your recipient. And if you still want to send flowers...by all means go for it!

There are several companies that will ship cupcakes nationwide. These cupcakes often are frozen hard then thaw as they ship to your recipient. Depending on the ingredients the average quality cupcake will last for 3 days. This makes shipping cupcakes a bit of a problem in our opinion because by the time your loved one receives them they may only be fresh for a day or a day and a half. Certainly, you would not want them to re-freeze the cupcakes. Local companies that bake your order fresh solves these issues. Care of the cupcakes is a topic that each company should answer as they would know their product the best.

Getting a cake delivered on time is very important if you are celebrating a milestone like a birthday, a birth, or an anniversary. It can also be really important if you need your gift to arrive before a party starts. When you contact these local cake delivery companies make sure to ask about their delivery time windows.

Comparing all of these companies can be daunting. Here are a couple of questions to ask that you may overlook: how tall are your cakes?, Is there buttercream between the layers of a filling? What happens if my recipient is not home when you attempt to deliver to them? Most of these local bakeries will allow you to Order a cake online and receive a holiday or birthday cake delivery. Cakes and typically delivered on a sturdy grease proof cake board and in a cardboard cake box for safety. Each bakery may have specific care instructions for their cakes. In general, cakes are best served at room temperature and can be stored outside of the fridge for 2-4 days. Cakes with fresh fruit or filling should always be refrigerated for storage.
