Yesterday we pressed pause to sprinkle in a little celebration of our own—just for our Balloon Crew. 🎈

There were baby goats in their Christmas finery (thank you, @paramountpony 🐐🎄), cookies and sufganiyot from the ever-magical @mclainsbakerykc, the dreamiest macarons from @sugarfold, a cozy hot cocoa bar, ornament painting… and laughter echoing through the studio. So. Much. Laughter.

Our crew is the heart behind the balloon magic—the hands, the smiles, the “we’ve got this” moments that turn ideas into celebrations. Gathering almost all of us in one place, even briefly, felt like the best kind of holiday gift.

Grateful. Joyful. Wrapped in cheer. And endlessly thankful for the Balloon Crew and the sparkle they bring to everything we do. ✨🎄🎈

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and is made entirely of balloons? SpongeBob SquarePants! 🍍🎈

Swim on over to @bbtheatres Shawnee to see the new SpongeBob movie—and our larger-than-life balloon sculpture.

(Yes, we got a little carried away. No, we’re not competing with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for largest inflatable SpongeBob. Is it big? Very. Regrets? Zero.)

Just popping in to spread a little winter cheer—and a whole lot of photo-spot magic. Festive backdrops, joyful balloons details, and yes… Santa has his own spot because of course he does. 🎅

If you need us, we’ll be over here believing in holiday magic. We hope you are feeling it, too! ✨❄️🎄

Happy Birthday, Taylor Swift! 🎂✨

We’re overjoyed for every Taylor-inspired balloon moment we’ve been asked to create—and we love that Kansas City gets to feel a little more magical with Taylor here. 💫🎈

Not to be dramatic… but these 9-foot nutcrackers absolutely ran this Christmas party! Dressed to sleigh, all the sparkly details, bringing full toy soldier main-character energy all night long. Oversized holiday magic only, please. Your celebration deserves it!🎄

Today we’re twirling into Thanksgiving wrapped in gratitude and a whole lot of balloon sparkle. ✨🍁

Thank you for inviting us to create magic for your celebrations — for letting us add color, joy, and a little “how did they DO that?” wonder to your moments.

Because of you, we get to live our sparkly small business dream every single day. We’re so grateful for you. Happy Thanksgiving, friends! 🎈🧡✨

✨🩷Glinda-sparkle, 💚Elphaba-grit, and the wonderfully, whimsically Ozian world they live in… but reimagined entirely in balloons. Mmhmmm, we did that!
Grab a friend and summon your most unusually unlimited pose while festivating @bbtheatres Liberty and Main Street locations. It’s thrillifying! ✨

🩷💚✨Stepping into the Emerald City ✨💚🩷
We built this towering balloon sculpture for the Wicked: For Good premiere @bbtheatres, and honestly? Even Elphaba would’ve gasped.

With shimmer and sparkle and every little detail (look close!), this one is pure balloon magic. On display right now at the Liberty and KC Main Street locations. 🎈

How we Make It Happen, a peek behind the scenes of something meaningful — where artistry meets appreciation. Our team built this American flag sculpture in honor of every veteran whose courage inspires us daily!

We traded balloons for boxes today!

Our balloon crew and Kristin from @thebabybirdbakery headed to @jfskc to pack 100 emergency food boxes for families in need — and wow, what a morning! The setup JFS has in place is brilliant, and together we knocked it out in a flash! There was a lot of Supermarket Sweep speediness going on and more than a few laughs.

Community is everything, and giving our time is one of the most meaningful ways we can show we care.
Event friends — join us next time, let’s make giving back part of the party! 🎈

Love that never fades, color that never dims, and stories that keep on shining. We were grateful to honor Dia de los Muertos with a little balloon magic.

We like to think of it as The Great Pumpkin of KC! 🎃🎈
Standing over 10 feet tall and 18’ wide, this balloon sculpture installation is greeting travelers coming and going with a grin and a perfect photo op.
Safe travels, pumpkin pals! ✈️🧡

What does it take to build a balloon cake taller than a building? 🎂⬆️ A LOT of balloons, a ginormous box truck plus a Balloonmobile, ladder gymnastics, and plenty of giggles along the way. We don’t usually share the behind-the-scenes (because we love letting the balloons get all the attention!), but today, you get the full peek of the pre-dawn shenanigans that went into making the balloon cake that is the talk of the town!
