Q. Do you do balloon décor outside?

     A. Yes we do. However, we are not responsible for Mother Nature. Heat can cause your darker colored

          can also cause popping. Therefore, Balloons Make Me Happy will NOT be held responsible for outside

          balloon décor. If you understand that we will not be held responsible but would still like balloons for your

          outside event we would be happy to do them for you.

           balloons to your centerpieces. We will not be held responsible for work we did not create and that we can

           not fix or replace.

Q. Do you clean up the balloons after my party?

     A. Sure, we will strike the job for a fee. Please contact your balloon consultant for a strike quote.

Q. Do you rent helium tanks?

     A. Sorry at this time we DO NOT rent helium tanks. There has been issues with a helium shortage.

Q. Can I inhale helium from balloons? I like the way it makes my voice sound. 

     A. Absolutely not!  Breathing in pure helium deprives the body from oxygen,  as if you were holding your

          breath. If you couldn't breath at all, you'd start to die in minutes-as soon as your body exhausted the supply

          of oxygen stored in the blood. But helium speeds up the process. When the gas fills your lungs, it creates a

          diffusion gradient that washes out the oxygen. In other words, each breath of helium you take sucks more

          oxygen out of your system. After inhaling helium, the body's oxygen level can plummet to a hazardous level

          in a matter of seconds.
