Instructions

1. Confirm the date of the recipient's birthday. Do your homework to find out where the person will be on his or her birthday by discreetly asking friends or family. It is important that you have the correct information if you want the recipient to be available to receive the balloons.

2. Decide how much you are willing to spend. For a large or expensive selection of balloons, pool resources together with friends. To avoid overspending, stick to the budget you have set before visiting party stores or websites.

3. Visit local party stores or florists that offer a balloon delivery service. Browse their selection of balloons to see if any fulfil your requirements. Alternatively, ring the store ahead of visiting to let them know your budget and deadline; you may be able to order over the telephone instead.

4. Visit a balloon ordering website such as Balloongram or FTD, if you would prefer to order online.

5. Choose your 21st birthday themed balloons. These could include a large balloon shaped like a "1" and "2" or regular balloons with "Happy 21st Birthday" printed on them. Choose the recipient's favorite color or the color of his birthstone. Select any other additional items you wish to include with your order such as a box of chocolates.

6. Write a personalised message to accompany your balloons. If you are ordering online, enter this into the text box provided. Alternatively, if you are ordering in person or over the telephone, give your message to the merchant. Check the spelling of your message by asking the merchant to read it back to you.

7. Confirm your delivery time, date and address. Pay with a debit or credit card if you are visiting a store or enter the details on to the retailer's website if you are ordering online. Orders placed on the Internet will usually be confirmed with a confirmation email, keep this safe in the event of a problem arising with your delivery.
