As you’re counting down to all of the midnight magic this New Year’s Eve, whatever you do, don’t
Party Fiesta's balloon drops fill the room with midnight magic!
forget the balloons! Balloons add that festive “lift” to every New Year’s celebration, and, to borrow a slogan from Hallmark, balloons tell your friends and family that you care enough to give them the very best! It just wouldn’t be New Year’s Eve without balloons!
Christmas just might prove to be a money pit this year, draining you of your energy and your wallet of its contents. But you might be surprised to discover how affordable balloons are for your holiday events!
Party Fiesta's New Year's mylar/latex bouquets make an elegant statement!
So, instead of just watching the ball drop in Times Square, have your own balloon drop! “The smiles on people’s faces as balloons drop down on them is fun to see,” laughs Tony Sellars, co-owner of Party Fiesta Balloon Decor, the premier balloon decorators in San Jose, California. “Even a small-sized balloon drop covers a lot of territory in a party room, making a huge statement.
“Party Fiesta offers balloon drops for New Year’s Eve in three sizes, depending on your particular needs and budget,” Tony continues. “Even if a balloon drop is the only decor you choose for your New Year’s Eve event, your money will be well spent. Nothing says ‘New Year’s’ like a balloon drop!”
And speaking of the famous ball that drops in Times Square, did you know the very first ball-dropping event there occurred in 1907? It has been a must-see on New Year’s Eve ever since–except for 1942 and 1943, when New York City was restricted from dropping the ball due to, as you might have guessed, World War II. Fron 1981-1988, an “apple” was dropped in honor of New York City’s famed nickname, The Big Apple! Nowadays, the “ball” that drops is a Waterford crystal gem, measuring 12-feet in diameter and weighing a whopping 11,875 pounds!
