Things You'll Need:
- Birthday person's work or home address
- Debit card or credit card
-
Step 1
Verify the person's birthday. It would be embarrassing for you to send the balloons on the wrong day. Discreetly discuss birth dates with the person. Or ask their friends when their birthday is if you are not certain.
-
Step 2
Set your budget for the balloons. Include in your balloon budget the price of the delivery and any tax, in addition to the balloons themselves. Consider other expenses that you may have for the birthday celebration, including the price of a gift, cake, venue, party food and party favors.
-
Step 3
Browse the selections available at local party shops that deliver, as well as local florists who also deliver balloons. Ordering may be done at a local shop in person or on the phone. They may also be ordered online at the websites Balloongram and FTD (see Resources below).
-
Step 4
Pick the birthday recipient's favorite color or a color that matches his birth stone when you pick out the balloons. Choose balloons with numbers or sayings on them for milestone birthdays including 16, 21, 30, 40 or 50. Make a selection that includes characters that kids like when sending balloons for a kids party. Add flowers or chocolate to the order. Request a small "Happy Birthday" card to accompany the delivery. Include a personalized birthday message.
-
Step 5
Choose a delivery date, time and location. Give your credit card or debit card number over the phone when ordering, or type it into the website's order form. Expect to receive a call after the balloons have been delivered.
