How Long Do Balloons Last?
Balloon longevity depends on the type and conditions

- Helium-filled: 8-12 hours standard, 18-24 hours with Hi-Float
Foil/Mylar Balloons

- Helium-filled: 3-7 days, up to 2 weeks for quality foils
Pro Tip: Keep balloons away from heat, direct sunlight, and sharp objects for maximum longevity. Inflate latex balloons as close to event time as possible.
