Questions that frequently pop up

Everything you've wanted to know about balloon twisting and events

General

What kinds of balloon animals and designs can you make?

We offer dozens and dozens of fun twists: classic animal shapes, party wearables, character favorites, themed creations and more. If your event has a special theme, we'll learn new designs just for you!

Do you twist for older kids and/or adults?

Absolutely! Balloon twisting is a great for kids, older kids, adult kids, older adults... everybody! Younger kids often love the animals, and older guests frequently enjoy the wearables or themed designs!

Do you offer themed balloon twists for themed parties?

Yes, we can create a custom selection of balloons to match the theme of your party (e.g. princesses, superheroes, holidays, etc.). If we don't already have the designs for your theme, we will learn some before the event!

Is balloon twisting safe for everyone?

Balloon twisting is safe and enjoyable for most people as even the balloon swords are not very sharp (ha ha). However, while we use professional-grade latex balloons designed for twisting, popped balloons can still happen and uninflated balloons and pieces can be a choking hazard for very young children.

Do you do face painting or other kinds of party entertainment?

No, we are balloon specialists, but we have loads of friends in the industry! Let us know what sort of other entertainers you're looking for and we'll be happy to refer you!

Booking

How far in advance should I book?

The sooner the better, so booking as soon as you know the date of your event is best. That said, weekends fill up quickly, so booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance is recommended. Last minute openings do happen, though, so please feel free to submit a booking request to check availability.

How long should I book you for?

It depends on the number of guests you expect to participate in the balloon twisting. As a general guide, we can serve an average of 16 guests an hour, give or take depending on the complexity of the twists.

What areas do you serve?

We're based in Round Rock, Texas and serve the greater Austin area; see the booking page for a map of the service area. We are happy to travel to your event outside of this area, but be aware this may incur a small travel fee.

Do you take a deposit in order to book?

Yes, in order to complete your booking and reserve your date, we require a signed agreement and a $50 deposit.

Day of the Event

Can you twist balloons outdoors?

Yes, although shade is required. Heat and direct sunlight can shorten the lifespan of even uninflated balloons. If your event is outside and you do not have a shady location, we can bring and set up a canopy to work under.

What happens if it rains on the day of my event?

We are happy to work rain or shine, and we cannot refund your deposit in the case of inclement weather. If your event is outside, we strongly recommend that you indentify a backup indoor location for your event.

Do you take special requests during the event?

Sometimes. Usually we ask guests to select a choice from a "menu" of popular or themed twists that have been curated to fit the vibe of the party, in order to keep the line moving and make sure everyone is able to get a balloon. However, if no one else is waiting we may take the opportunity to do a special request or a more complicated twist!
