About Us

Our story

Beach Party Balloons was opened in 2016 by owner, Melissa Bertrand, originally located at Walnut Beach in Milford CT. After two expansions, we are now located at 572 Boston Post Road in Milford CT.

With nearly 20 years of experience in party services, BPB's sister company, Painted You, began providing family-friendly entertainment services like face painting, balloon animal twisting, and airbrush tattoos in 2004.

What we do

Beach Party Balloons takes pride in providing friendly customer service, and unique designs created using quality, professional materials and tools. Whether you just need a small bunch of balloons for a gift or table or your whole event decorated, we can help. BPB creates balloon arches, garlands, columns, centerpieces, gifts, sculptures and more!

BPB also offers delivery and setup (subject to availability and minimum order) to make it as easy as possible for you.

We recommend coming into the shop for the best experience when ordering balloon decorations. We have found our clients are better able to express their vision in person, view showroom samples, and choose from an extensive inventory of colors, themes and designs we have available.

If you can't come in, no worries! We are happy to help you over the phone and email. You can also order your balloon gift deliveries, pre-designed arrangements and decor on our online shop.

FAQ:

Q: Do you sell bags of balloons or products for DIY?

A: Beach Party Balloons does not sell bags of balloons or decor supplies, only finished product

Q: Can I just walk in and buy a few balloons, or do I have to order ahead?

A: We do not have a minimum order for walk-ins. You can come in and we will sell you 1 balloon if that's what you need. No need to order ahead for a small pickup, we can make it on the spot, and usually there is no wait/line.

Q: How long will my balloons last?

A: Beach Party Balloons cannot guarantee products for any amount of time after delivery/pickup. Balloons are fragile by nature, and there are many factors that contribute to how long they will last. High temperatures, direct sunlight, wind and rain will oxidize your balloons quickly. We strongly recommend helium balloons for inside use only, and advise you choose an area for your outdoor decor that is out of direct sun, especially in summer. We are not responsible for balloons that pop or deflate for any reason after they have been picked up or delivered.

Q: I would like to order balloons for a balloon release

A: We are very sorry, but Beach Party Balloons does not sell balloons for release, for any reason. Balloon releases are banned in CT and subject to a fine. We also are an environmentally mindful company, and believe that the intentional release of balloons or any waste is harmful to the environment.

Q: What steps does BPB take to be environmentally mindful?

A: Bpb weights and or bags all balloons leaving our shop to minimize any accidental release. We create mainly air-filled designs on frames for outside, and discourage all clients from using helium balloons outside.

Additionally, most of the balloons we use are natural latex, which is biodegradable over 3-6 months. We do our best to educate our clients about responsible use of balloons when it comes to the environment.
