Helium

Not all balloons are created equal! Here’s why we at Beyond the Balloon only use professional-grade balloons for our designs: 

Amazon balloons – These are typically thin, low-quality, and prone to popping easily. Because of their inconsistency, I do not use them and cannot guarantee they will last for any amount of time. 

Professional balloons – We use only high-quality, durable balloons to ensure the best results, longevity, and overall aesthetic for your event. If you're looking for the best selection of balloons in Ann Arbor, trust our professional-grade balloons to elevate your event! 

If you prefer to use Amazon balloons, I recommend purchasing a helium tank from a local store for inflation. However, for the best quality and lasting impact, choose our helium balloons in Ann Arbor to make your celebration truly special!

We understand that our pricing may be higher than Party City or the Dollar Store, and here’s why: 1️⃣ Helium is a Natural, Non-Renewable Resource – Helium is complex and costly to extract, and it’s in high demand across multiple industries, not just for balloon décor. 2️⃣ We’re a Small Business, Not a Chain – Unlike big box stores, we at our balloon co have to account for more than just the cost of helium and balloons—including labor, quality materials, and personalized service. 3️⃣ Sustainability in Business – The reality is, many small businesses, including those offering helium balloons in Ann Arbor, are undercharging, making it difficult to stay afloat. Party City went out of business for many reasons, but one major factor was the rising cost of helium. As a small business, we are more than happy to fulfill your orders, but we also need to price accordingly to stay in business—both for us and for you! When you support a local business like ours, you’re not just buying balloons; you’re investing in quality, service, and sustainability. Thank you for supporting small businesses like Beyond the Balloon!
