Balloon Decor FAQ
Balloon Installations, Custom Balloon Creations, Balloon Grab-n-Gos, etc
-
Custom Balloon Creations (also known as Balloon Installations) are designed, delivered, and installed by the Rockin’ Robot team on your event day. Once the event concludes, we return to dismantle and dispose of everything. Each installation is tailored to your event, theme, venue, and space. Our clients enjoy white glove service, including phone consultations, on-site venue walkthroughs, personalized proposals, event planning assistance, access to our exclusive vendor list, day-of coordination help, and more—only the best for our Cool Cats.
For a more budget-friendly option, you can order a delivery/pickup online. The Rockin’ Robots will assemble it for you, and you can display it as you wish. No assembly is needed, making it ideal for savvy budgeters.
Our local deal packages offer affordable decor tailored for West Bloomfield and surrounding areas. You select a package, provide the details, and we’ll install it in under an hour—no stress, no effort on your part, and everything is easy to discard afterward.

Indoor air-filled arrangements are “guaranteed to last” 24 hours for your event, but they can actually last months in optimal conditions. We often set up indoor balloons 3-5 days early if the venue permits.
Outdoor arrangements depend on factors like color palette, placement, sun exposure, and weather, so we can't guarantee their longevity. However, we always provide guidance for the best results.
Helium arrangements typically last 24 hours.
In 2021, we decorated a grad party that was struck by a tornado. After the tent was restored, our balloons remained intact and in place, with no pops.
So, clearly, we’re pretty good at this.

At Rockin' Robot Party Co., our balloon decor is designed with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. Composed of 97% air and 3% biodegradable and compostable latex sourced from rubber tree sap, our balloons break down naturally without leaving harmful microplastics, contributing to a greener planet.
We prioritize sustainability not only in our balloon composition but also in encouraging responsible disposal practices and offering reuse options. Especially indoors, our balloons have a longevity of weeks to months after an event has concluded, allowing for them to be reused for various celebrations. This extended lifespan minimizes waste and supports a more eco-conscious approach to balloon decor.
It's important to note that our balloon framework, constructed from materials like PVC, EMT conduit, MDF, and wood, is broken down and recycled after each event, ensuring we can reuse them for future celebrations. By incorporating biodegradable materials, promoting reuse options, and adopting sustainable practices, we aim to create vibrant and festive atmospheres while respecting and preserving the environment.

Holy moly SO many ways!
We add letters and logos on the balloons themselves whether it’s a latex balloon or a foil mylar shape
We can use balloon foil letters and balloon foil numbers to spell out phrases
We can use our backdrops like our circle frame and add lettering and numbers directly on the backdrop
We can use neon signs, metal signs, big corrugated plastic shaped signs, and wooden signs - whether it’s one of our rentals or we get one created special for you!
-
Well, we pop them!
Our clients are able to cut and keep whatever they want from the decor and we’re able to recycle balloons and reuse them if we need to in a lot of cases - but a lot of this depends on our capacity to store them and the color palettes needed for the next orders

No we do not own a bounce house - if you would like balloons on a bounce house you will need to rent a white bounce house from a vendor and ensure that they are available and okay with us placing our balloons on their bouncer.

Glow Parties
Glow in the dark painting, UV painting, UV REACTIVE parties, Black Light Parties, Neon Glow Balloons, etc
-
There is no such thing as glow in the dark balloons
There are UV-reactive and neon balloons - for them to work you will need to use the correct UV lighting conditions
Alternatively you can also opt for a “Glow Party” which does not use any UV-Reactive or Neon balloons, and instead we illuminate the balloons interiorly with LED bulbs
-
We recommend complete darkness and using UV black light, ultra violet curing, etc - this lighting will need to be shining directly on any surface that you wish to “react” and glow
Additionally you may opt to use uplighting in blues and purples along the walls (this will not create more UV reaction, only add more to the mood and create more light)
-
We recommend complete darkness and using uplighting around the space to illuminate the room to your desired “glowing” color
-
Depending on the size/scale of your party: you can get many of these lights online, rent them from lighting services, or ask your DJ or venue if they are able to provide them for you
We also have many vendors that we can recommend regarding light-up marquee letters
Any and all lights inside of the balloons or UV reactive balloons will be handled by the Rockin’ Robots
