What is Helium Gas?
Helium is an amazing gas with amazing properties. Helium is
inert,colorless, odorless, tasteless, and one of only two gases that is lighter than air.
Helium is completely safe and won't burn, explode, or support combustion. In fact, one of
its major industrial uses is as a "shield" gas in welding. Helium is the second
smallest element and has an atomic number of 2. Hydrogen may be smaller and lighter, but
unlike helium, it is very flammable. The famous Hindenburg dirigible was filled with
hydrogen when it caught fire and burned. If it had been filled with helium, the disaster
would never have happened. Although helium is the second most abundant element in the
universe, it is mined in only a few areas of the world. Helium can occur with natural gas
and becomes trapped in the earth. The gases are captured from natural gas wells and must
be separated. Over 90% of the world's helium supply comes from Amarillo, Texas, the
"helium capital" of the world. |

What Kind Of Decoration Tips Do You Recommend?Always decorate the entrance to your event. Decor not only identifies
where the event is happening, but it provides a transition from the ordinary world into
the space of your special event. If first impressions are the most important impressions,
then make your entrance decor important!
The more colors you use, the more festive the look of the decor will be. The fewer colors
you use, the more elegant the decor will be.
Decorate the spaces you want to draw attention to. If dancing is the highlight of the
celebration, make sure the dance floor is the strongest visual element. If you want the
head table or podium to be the focal point of the room, concentrate your decor scheme
around that. Don't try to hide unattractive areas with decor, most of the time it will
only draw attention away from your focal point.

How Much Should I Budget?
Because people remember how they felt at an event more than any
particulars about the food, music, or drink, and because the decor sets their mood, we
recommend our clients set aside a minimum of 10%-20% of the total budget for decor. When
you have a special event and want it done right, contact
us.
You have enough to do and worry about on the day of your celebration
without having to worry about decor. Our Certified Balloon Artist has completed a
comprehensive course in professional balloon design and is available to communicate with
you to discuss your event. Decor is the visible expression of the celebration or event and
instantly sets the mood for the event. Great atmosphere immediately improves the value of
your food, drink, entertainment, and more.
