Make the entrance impossible to miss

An opening is about getting people to notice the door. An arch over the entrance, columns on each side or a garland across the window tells people walking past that something new has started, and gives your first guests a place to take photos.

Send us your logo or brand colours and we will build the palette from them. Foil numbers and letters can spell a year, a number or a short word, like the gold 2026 numbers in the photo above.

If your unit is in a mall, a plaza or a managed building, check its rules on deliveries, entrance decor and setup hours, and share them with us when you book. Tell us your opening time so the setup is finished before the doors open.

Send us before your opening

  • Your logo or brand colours
  • Your opening date and time
  • A photo of the entrance
  • Building or mall rules on decor and deliveries
  • When the space is open for setup

Restaurant grand openings

We have done the balloons for many restaurant grand openings, so we plan around how a restaurant works. The decor goes up before staff need the room, entrance pieces leave the door and the path to the host stand clear, and indoor pieces stay away from the kitchen pass and anything hot.

A typical restaurant opening uses an arch or a pair of columns at the entrance, a garland across the front window or along the bar, and a photo spot inside where guests and staff can take pictures to share. Foil numbers or letters can spell the opening year or a short word.

If you have a patio, tell us how much sun and wind it gets. Outdoor balloons need a sheltered spot and a plan for the weather, so we talk it through before the design is confirmed.

For a restaurant opening, send us

  • Your logo or brand colours
  • Your opening date and the time doors open
  • Photos of the entrance, window and dining room
  • Patio details, if decor goes outside
  • Your landlord's or plaza's rules on entrance decor

Custom logo balloons

Storefront balloons for promotions and re-openings

Balloons are not only for opening day. A sale, a new menu, a re-opening after renovations or a business anniversary all give people walking past a reason to look twice, and brand-colour balloons at the door tell them something is happening inside.

For a storefront, the decor frames the entrance and the window without hiding your sign or blocking the door. Send a photo of the front of the store, your colours and the dates, and we will suggest pieces that fit the space.

Grand opening balloon questions

How much do grand opening balloons cost?

Every grand opening order is quoted for your event, so there is no fixed price list. The quote depends on the size, the design, the colours and add-ons, and where your venue is. Send your date, venue and a photo of the space by phone or WhatsApp and we will give you a quote. Read how booking and pricing work.

What decorations do you need for a grand opening?

Start with the entrance: an arch or a pair of columns that people see from the street. Add a garland across the window or counter, and one photo spot inside for your first guests. Foil numbers or letters can add the year or a short word.

What balloon decor works best for a restaurant grand opening?

We have done the balloons for many restaurant grand openings. An arch or columns at the entrance, a garland across the window or along the bar and a photo spot inside work well, with the door, the host stand and the kitchen pass kept clear. See restaurant grand openings for what to send us.

Can you use our brand colours?

Yes. Send your logo or your brand colour codes and we will build the palette from them.

When do you set up for an opening?

Tell us your opening time and when the space is open for setup. The setup time is confirmed with your quote so everything is ready before the doors open.

Can a balloon arch go outside the storefront?

Ask us with the details of your entrance. Wind, sun and rain affect balloons outdoors, and some buildings have rules about what can stand outside, so we talk it through before the design is confirmed.

Our store is in a mall. Is that a problem?

Not usually, but malls and managed buildings often have rules on deliveries, setup hours and entrance decor. Check with your property manager and share the rules with us when you book.

Do you make grand opening flower stands?

Yes. See grand opening flower stands for how to order one, for your own opening or as a congratulations gift.

Do you supply the ribbon and giant scissors for a ribbon cutting?

Yes. We supply ribbon and giant scissors for ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and a backdrop for the photos if you want one. Tell us your opening time and your colours when you book.

Can you make balloons with our logo?

Yes. We make custom printed balloons with your logo or name. Send your logo file, your colours, how many you need and the date. See custom logo balloons.

Can you decorate for a sale, an anniversary or a re-opening?

Yes. The same storefront pieces work for a sale, a new menu, a re-opening after renovations or a business anniversary. Send a photo of the front of the store, your colours and the dates.
