Bridal Showers
Hosting a bridal shower lets you gather friends, swap stories, and celebrate the bride in a relaxed way. Balloons set the mood without hogging the room—and that’s where we step in. We handle colors, sizing, and setup so you can focus on snacks, playlists, and laughs. Picture pastel garlands greeting guests at the door, a bubbly backdrop behind the dessert table, or confetti-filled clusters marking each game station. These cues help everyone find their spots and add just enough pop. Since we manage delivery, installation, and next-day pickup, your only job is to enjoy the moment and snap photos. By the time the bride opens her first gift, the room already feels special.
Decor That Works With the Flow
Your balloon decor should support the layout of your event, not compete with it. We’ll help you figure out which areas need attention: maybe the entrance needs a pop of color to greet guests, or the gift table could use a little framing. If you're planning a game area or photo spot, balloons are a simple way to tie it in. You don’t need a huge install in every corner, just a few pieces that make the room easier to navigate and a little more fun to hang out in.
We’ll ask about your timeline, venue size, and any non-negotiables (like keeping things kid-friendly or avoiding certain colors). You can choose a few small pieces or one focal point. We’ll bring all materials and do all the set up!
Balloons also help set the pace of the shower. A cluster at the front door gives guests a clear place to enter, while a backdrop behind the bride’s seat can gently signal when it’s time for gifts. It’s about using a few smart visual cues to guide the flow, so guests always know where to go next without needing a printed schedule.

Balloon Styles That Just Work
Not every bridal shower needs a massive install, but having the right balloon pieces in the right places makes a big difference. We’ve helped with showers in backyards, living rooms, restaurants, and rented venues, and no matter the space, there are a few balloon styles that always pull their weight. You don’t need to commit to everything on the list below, but picking two or three can go a long way toward making the space feel pulled together. Here are some of the most requested balloon options for bridal showers:
- Balloon Garland: Stretched across a welcome sign, food table, or fireplace
- Balloon Arch: A full or half arch for entryways or photo backdrops
- Balloon Centerpieces: Small clusters that don’t block views
- Balloon Bouquet: Easy to move around and use as filler or favors
We’ll help you figure out which options work best for your setup. If you already have photos or a mood board, we can build around that. Once your design is locked in, we prep everything ahead of time and handle all the setup so you’re not scrambling with last-minute tasks.

What happens in a bridal shower?
A bridal shower is usually a casual get-together where friends and family celebrate the bride before the wedding. There’s often food, drinks, games, gifts, and a few planned activities or surprises. Some showers are themed, while others are simple gatherings with light decorations and time to chat. It’s all about giving the bride a chance to relax, feel supported, and enjoy time with her people.
Who typically throws the bridal shower?
Traditionally, the bridal shower is hosted by the maid of honor, bridesmaids, or close family friends. Sometimes, multiple people team up to co-host. It’s less common (but still okay) for family members like the bride’s mom or sisters to host, especially if the event is more low-key or informal. Whoever takes the lead usually handles planning, invites, and setup.
What is a bridal shower vs. wedding shower?
A bridal shower is focused on the bride and often includes a mostly female guest list. A wedding shower includes both partners and is more co-ed, with friends and family from both sides. Both events include food, gifts, and time to celebrate—it just depends on who you want to include. Some couples skip the bridal shower altogether and go straight for a joint wedding shower.
