Balloons for Parties and Events

Our relationship with balloons has always been a genuine love story. We've been making them for over 40 years, although our history goes back much further, to the Barcelona of the 1950s.

Over time we've had to adapt to the circumstances of each era. Today we manufacture 100% biodegradable rubber latex balloons, complying with all European regulations.

In short, we're moving towards a greener world.

What's more, our products are tested by the most

prestigious quality laboratory in the sector worldwide, the SGS Institute Fresenius GmbH, and we have become the official distributor for Gemar Balloons in Spain.

But getting here hasn't been a bed of roses. Far from it.

Do you have an event to organise? Are you planning a get-together with friends and thinking of buying party supplies? You've come to the right place. And don't worry if you can't decide with so much variety to choose from.

At Globolandia we have everything you need. And not only that, we're going to explain all the options available to you and which one best suits the kind of celebration you have in mind.

Which are the best party supplies for my event? This is the question we all ask ourselves when we set about organising something. These days there's a huge variety of party supplies. Perhaps too many. And it isn't always easy to pick the right one for our event.

Besides, there are other factors to bear in mind to make our party something unique, such as the element of surprise. There's nothing like surprising the guests at an event with the decorations you've chosen, is there?

Party supplies can be the key to making an event memorable or, on the contrary, making it dull and boring for your guests.

But don't panic just yet. We're going to try to answer all the questions that may come up when choosing the best accessories for your party. The essential thing, as always, is to take it step by step.

First of all, you need to have a clear idea of what kind of party you want to throw. To do this, you first have to think about and define what kind of guests you're catering for. This is the key to everything, since at Globolandia we have an enormous variety of party supplies to choose from. Diving straight into the search for decorations without first having defined the audience for the event is a very common mistake.

As we've already said, this is the key point in getting your event right. It must be absolutely clear that for a celebration to be a complete success, your guests need to be happy. This usually depends on many factors. But one of the most important is undoubtedly the decoration. Therefore, a good selection of party supplies is essential. And at Globolandia, we know quite a bit about that.

The first factor in defining your guests is how close or familiar they are with the host or hostess. That is, how close they are to you. Throwing an event for your work colleagues isn't the same as throwing one for your friends or family. Here we're measuring what we call the formality of the event. You're the person best placed to judge this factor. Only you know whether, even though they're your work colleagues, you share a good friendship and a great deal of trust. In that case, the degree of formality of the event decreases. And it's very important to take this into account in order to choose the party decorations correctly.

It's worth clarifying at this point that if we know our guests little or hardly at all, it's better to opt for formal decorations so as not to fall into possible mistakes. In other words, when in doubt, it's better to choose more formal party decorations than informal ones.

Once we've narrowed down what we've called the degree of formality of our guests, there's another important point we need to consider. This is their character and their age range. Why do we put character and age together as a single point? Don't worry, you'll understand with a simple explanation.

On the one hand we have the age range of our guests. This is obvious. If we're organising a 40th birthday party, for example, the guests are probably in a fairly adult age range.

But the decorations and party supplies don't necessarily have to be aimed at what we think of as an "adult audience". This is where the other side of this twofold factor we mentioned comes into play: character.

Bear in mind that guests don't have to be children to hold a fancy dress party, for example. Nor does a communion have to be decorated entirely with cartoons or children's themes. If the guests are adults but have an open, cheerful character, we might get it just right with fun, themed decorations more typical of a children's audience.

Likewise, at a high school graduation, even though the age range is lower, the guests may have a more formal character, imposed by the solemnity of the occasion. Here we'll do better with more serious, formal decorations, the kind that "a priori" belong to guests in a higher age range.

At Globolandia we have a wide variety of party supplies, both for an adult audience and for a children's audience.

And having reached this point, where we've clearly defined our guests, it's time to think about what kind of party we're going to hold. Read on and we'll help you make the choice.

To get the decorations for a party right, we need to be very clear about who our guests are and what kind of event we're going to hold.

We've already covered the first point above. As for the second point, bear in mind that the type of party supplies you'll need to choose will depend on the kind of celebration you hold.

First we have birthdays. In this type of event there's a clear star of the show, so we mustn't think only about the guests. Ideally, you'd give a nod to the birthday boy or girl with the decorations or theme of the party. But remember what we said about the importance of thinking about the rest of the guests. However much the birthday person loves fancy dress, if the guests are reluctant to dress up, we're going to have a problem. This section also covers children's birthdays. One of the decisive factors will be, for example, which cartoons are in fashion at the time. But on the other hand, you need to consider whether the other children's parents will also be attending the birthday party. Remember that the party is, in part, for them too.

With communions and christenings, something very similar happens. We normally tend to choose party decorations with a very childish theme. But in reality these are events where most of the guests are adults, so we need to take them into account as well.

Weddings and wedding anniversaries are among the other most common events for which people look for party supplies. Here you have to be careful with the type of decoration, since not everyone likes romantic-style decorations, such as heart-shaped balloons, pink colours, and so on. Once again we stress the importance of knowing both the guests and the stars of the event.

At Globolandia you'll find party decorations of every kind.

Themed parties are the celebrations that are most on the rise. Mainly because of how personalised they can be.

We're in an age in which we increasingly tend towards personalisation. This covers everything from children's parties themed around a particular cartoon to adult fancy dress parties based on classic film characters. Almost anything fits into this category.

But remember to consider not only the star of the party, but also the guests. We can't say it enough. Forcing your boss to attend a Dora the Explorer themed fancy dress party could land you in trouble.

Grand openings are another of the events on which we spend the most time thinking about the decorations. Choosing the right party supplies is essential to project a good image. At this type of event, making a good impression matters more than ever. So once again we'll think about our guests. But also about the type of venue, business or place we're opening. It's obvious that decorating the opening of a high-end restaurant with children's balloons isn't a great idea. But be careful when selecting very shiny, glamorous party decorations too. Sometimes this type of decoration can come across as too ostentatious and give our guests an impression that isn't the one we were after.

Finally, we can talk about the classic, well-established celebrations.

That is, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas, and so on. Here, most people agree on the party supplies to use for the decorations.

We all already have a preconceived idea of how to decorate this type of party. But precisely for that reason, these events are the easiest ones at which to surprise people. Whether that surprise is positive or negative will depend on your planning.

As you'll have already realised, these types of celebrations aren't mutually exclusive. In other words, a wedding can be themed, just as a birthday can. We can't say it enough: it all depends on the stars of the show and on the guests. Set your ego aside and don't think only about what you would like, even if it's your own party.

Put another way: we often choose the decorations for a party according to our own tastes, without even having stopped to consider whether our guests will like the decorations we've chosen. But do we know all the types of party supplies that exist?

And if they exist, they're at Globolandia.

Once we've clearly defined the type of audience that will attend our event as well as the type of celebration we're going to organise, the time has finally come to look at the decorations we'll use. Nowadays there are a multitude of different party supplies. In the past it was even hard to get hold of personalised birthday candles. But things have changed. A lot.

Basically, these days there are as many types of party supplies as there are different celebrations and themes we can think of. There's everything. That's why it's so important to sit down for a moment and stop to think before you start choosing. Otherwise, it's very easy to get overwhelmed when searching among so much variety.

As we've already said, there are as many types of party supplies as there are parties. There are party supplies for communions, christenings, children's birthdays and adult themed parties. Any idea you come up with can have its own decorations.

Below we're going to list some of the most common party supplies, the ones that simply can't be missing from certain events. Remember that at Globolandia we have a huge variety of party decorations. Don't forget to take a look at all the possibilities we offer you. And if you have questions about a specific item, don't hesitate to write to us. Our customer service team will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Balloons: They are the undisputed kings of any event. They're the first thing that comes to mind when we think about party decorations. But careful. Don't overdo it. They don't suit every event and, besides, there are a great many different types of balloons. You have to know how to choose correctly. Take a look at all the variety we have at Globolandia.

Garlands and bunting are other elements that can find a place at many of the events we organise. They're decorative elements that cover a lot of ground and help us decorate large spaces. But careful. Once again, they aren't party supplies we can include in just any celebration. With poorly chosen bunting we can turn a formal opening into a street fair. Take a good look through our whole selection and choose the ones that suit you best.

One party item that is becoming very popular at adult celebrations is the piñata. As we say, we're finding them more and more at parties with an older age range, since they give guests a great time.

Obviously, they're not suitable for every kind of gathering.

The photo call is another element that helps us decorate an event and that is winning over more and more fans. It's especially suited to grand openings and product or service launches. But as we say, it has already carved out a place at all kinds of events such as birthdays and anniversaries. Take a look at all the variety we offer you at Globolandia.

There are many more types of party supplies, of course. And we have them. But we wanted to show you the most sought-after ones here.

From all of us at Globolandia, we hope everything goes perfectly and, above all, that you enjoy it. We'd also remind you that you can get in touch with us to ask any questions about our party supplies. Our customer service team will assist you as soon as possible.
