How well do you know balloon weights?

You’re planning the perfect party…the menu is perfect, the decorations are beautiful but something is going on with your balloons!  They are tipping over every time somebody walks by…ugh!  Did you know that there are different size balloon weights?  The balloon type, size and amount will determine the balloon weight size you will need.  I’ve put together a little chart to help you out…

  • 9″, 11″ & 12″ Latex Balloon or 18″ Foil Balloon – 8 Gram Balloon Weight
  • 16″ Latex Balloon – 15 Gram Balloon Weight
  • 22″ Bubble or Square Foil Balloon – 35 Gram Balloon Weight
  • 32″, 36″, 40″ Foil or Shaped Balloon – 65 Gram Balloon Weight
  • Small Balloon Cluster (3-4 Balloons) – 65 Gram Balloon Weight
  • Large Balloon Cluster (7-9 Balloons) – 100 Gram Balloon Weight

Balloon weights may or may not be identified with the grams by stores.  Instead they may be identified as regular, heavy, etc.  Here is a cheat sheet to help you determine the right size balloon weight.

  • Regular Weight – 8-10 Grams
  • Heavy Weight – 15-17 Grams
  • Extra Heavy Weight – 30-35 Grams
  • Compact Jumbo Weight – 100-110 Grams
  • Jumbo Weight – 130-135 Grams

Hopefully this provided you with a little more insight on anchoring down your balloons.

 

Happy Party Planning!
