We are super excited to share that THREE of our Balloon Crew have earned their Master Balloon Professional (MBP) certification!

Recognized as one of the highest honors, the MBP is awarded to artists who demonstrate exceptional technical skill, structural expertise, and mastery of internationally recognized balloon design standards. Yep, there is a certification for being remarkably awesome and our crew have shown they know how to make it happen!

Please help us celebrate Johnna, John, and Annie on this achievement. We are so proud of them and their dedication in creating extraordinary experiences for every celebration we touch. ❤️

We believe everyone deserves to be seen, celebrated, and surrounded by joy exactly as they are.

So this June (and every other month of the year), we’re here to cheer you on, love you loudly, and, of course... balloon it all up. 🎈

Because the most beautiful celebrations are the ones where everyone belongs.

That moment, the one where your guest of honor spots what you’ve done to celebrate them? We live for it! The gasp, the squee, the jaw drop, all of it. We are here to make it happen. 😍

It’s such a joy to create balloon artistry for days like these — the ones overflowing with love, anticipation, and the excitement of welcoming a little one who is already so deeply cherished. ☁️🧸☁️

To all the moms, dog moms, chosen moms, bonus moms, grandma hearts, and the mom-like magic makers who show up with love every single day… Happy Mother’s Day!

Today we’re celebrating the people who make life softer, brighter, sweeter, and a little more magical — preferably beneath a ceiling of balloons. This one is DREAMY!!

Ethereal. Immersive. Completely over-the-top in the best way. So very @shuttlecorkkc!

Suspended above the celebration: 34 giant chrome orbs shimmering and sparkling to greet guests — spanning 20 feet wide and stretching more than 10 feet tall. The largest orb alone measured 8 feet in diameter!

And the wildest part? This piece was designed and installed on-site for the very first time ever. There’s no dress rehearsal for ephemeral art at this scale — only an exceptional collective of @trappandco, @hmxlive, and @upupandawayballoons willing to dream big, be quick to adapt, and make inflatable magic happen together. It was an absolute delight to collaborate with such an exceptionally talented, skilled and caring team!

That’s all. 👠

A little red. A lot of drama. And just enough devil in the details. Channeling full-on The Devil Wears Prada 2 energy @bbtheatres —because this isn’t just a photo op… it’s a fashion moment.

We tried to come up with a clever caption to go with our balloon pics from yesterday’s big announcement but couldn’t. So we’ll just say this—we are SO proud of our city.

Proud of the momentum.
Proud of the magic happening in every corner.
Proud to be part of a place that keeps dreaming bigger.

Forever Kansas City. 💙👑

Work hard. Celebrate harder. When your conference is wrapping up and it’s time for your boots to hit the dancefloor, we’ve got you covered. 🎈

Blast off with Mario and friends @bbtheatres in Liberty to celebrate the new @supermariomovie! It’s packed with nostalgia AND you can snap pics with this cosmic balloon installation! GAME ON.

Well… this is awkward. 😅

To the two lovely ladies walking into @bbtheatres who witnessed us opening the back of the Balloonmobile today—we swear we don’t usually transport people back there.

Just… iconic plumbers made entirely of balloons. 🍄🎈

(Mario and Luigi insisted on riding together. We didn’t ask questions.)

Meet Gandalf, balloonified!

He’s hanging out with all of the heroes, villains and legends @planetcomiconofficial this weekend—one of our favorite weekends in Kansas City, where you can be whoever or whatever you want and fully live out your wildest cosplay fantasies.

Complete with lighted staff, sword, and the entire accessory collection, this sculpture was a fun chance to let a balloon artist’s imagination run free.

Check out that last photo, it’s how we picture him when he’s not hanging out in a convention center… just casually saving Middle-earth before dinner.

Oh, you know, just a little burst of color for our friends @newhouse_kc for their Worthy Pop-Up Bar! (It’s never really “just a little” when we do it…)

The Worthy Pop-Up Bar is Kansas City’s first-ever pop-up bar focused on self-care, empowerment and fun. This installation definitely brought the FUN element!
