16 Nov 11 New York Artist Creates Party Balloon Monsters
Imagine one of these alien behemoths marching their way into your child’s party. These artistic monstrosities, each one taking approximately three days to create, were spawned from the creative mind of New York artist Jason Hackenwerth.
As seen in the pictures, some of the sculptures are large enough to fit over a full-grown adult, with enough room to walk around comfortably. Since the sculptures are made from thousands of normal party balloons, they are lightweight, perfect for basking by the sea, or roaming through a wild jungle.
The 39-year-old New York artist started his balloon-blowing career as a street performer. Overtime, he became more adapt with the balloons, which, assumingly, led to his desire for larger, more challenging artistic endeavors.
The largest structure Hackenwerth built with party balloons was a little over 40 feet long. Some of the structures are so large, in fact, that he must “wrestle†the balloons into position.
Hackenwerth has stated that he orders 5,000 party balloons at a time.
16 Jun 11 Planning for a Pool Party
Planning for a pool party starts long before the first invitations are sent out. You need to first find a location, which has open access to the use of a pool. Without the pool, you are throwing a bathing suit party, which actually sounds like a lot of fun. Regardless, the pool should be the focal point for throwing a pool party. Whether you use a friend’s, an apartment complex’s, or your own, you need to find the pool for your party.
Sunkissed orange party balloons are perfect for a sunny day in the pool.
Pool Party Enhancers:
- Balloons: With the blue sky above, the cool water surrounding you, the smell of food wafting through the air, there is nothing better than balloons. The vibrant colors reflect off the water, and the sound of them whipping through the wind can help accent the natural lapping of the pool. Honestly, balloons make any pool party better.
- Tableware: There is nothing worse than getting out of the pool, eating food, and realizing that you need to clean up your utensils and plates. Party tableware makes it easy to toss your plates and cups into the trash. Get the plastic ones so the water on your hands does not soak into the cups or plates. If you want to be extra environmental, get the tableware you can clean and reuse. They’re light enough to toss into a bag, yet durable enough to mean something.
- Party Kits: Planning for a pool party requires gathering up the necessary party supplies to decorate your pool’s surroundings. Rather than scour for the decorations you desire, our party kits take away all of the anxiety and stress. Every one of the party kits specialize in giving you the core essentials for any party. Look through our selection to see if one catches your attention.
The first thing you need to do is send out party invitations. Create a guest list and ask everyone to RSVP. Once you receive the responses, start purchasing the necessary party supplies needed, such as balloons, tableware, and so on. Pool parties are great because they require very little decorations. The focus is on the pool, the food, and the company.

29 Apr 11 Planning a Boy’s Springtime Party
Springtime is the perfect time for hosting a boy’s birthday party. Boys are typically energetic, loud, and rambunctious, making it ideal to hold the party outdoors. Rather than risk messing up the house with cake and party supplies, find a comfortable area outside, where the kids can run around and have a blast. It opens up so many party possibilities.
The ultimate Batman centerpiece!
First, you need to figure out an overall theme for your party. Boy’s tend to enjoy superheroes, robots, cowboys, astronauts, and all sorts of imaginative, adventurous stuff. If you are throwing a surprise party, try to figure out which one your child would enjoy. If he likes superheroes, our Batman Brave and Bold 3d Centerpiece will proudly display his love of superheroes. If he tends more toward medieval knights, our Knight Honeycomb Centerpiece will easy transport him back to the Dark Ages.
An outdoor party also opens your party activity options. We have loads of party balloons for you to choose from, with each specializing in a different style. Hand empty balloons out as party favors and have the kids get into a huge water balloon fight. They’ll be running around, cheering and having a blast, and everyone will leave with huge smiles.
Our Robots 18” Pull-String Pinata is ideal for a boy’s birthday party. Equipped with sticks, they get to pound the candy out of a robot, reveling in their victory over technology. This will help the kids burn some energy off during the party and build their socialization skills.
In our modern age, it can be rather difficult to get kids outside. Holding a boy’s birthday party outside could be one of the best ways to get kids involved in outdoor activities. Once they see how much fun it can be to run around and play, they may be more willing to do it again later.
Check out the rest of our party supplies sections for ideas, decorations, and invitations. The party should be just as much fun for you as it is for your son.
