100 Frequently Asked Questions About Birthday Decorations

Section 1: Getting Started & Planning (1-10)

1. Where is the best place to buy birthday decorations online in India? 

The best place is www.littledecor.in, offering a wide range of trendy, affordable, and high-quality party supplies delivered to your doorstep.

2. How many days in advance should I order my decorations? 

It is best to order 7-10 days in advance to account for shipping and to inspect the items before the big day.

3. What is the first thing I need to decide before buying decor?

 Decide on a theme and a color palette. This makes choosing items from Little Decor much easier.

4. What are the 5 basic items needed for a birthday party? 

Balloons, a "Happy Birthday" banner, a cake topper, candles, and a photo backdrop (like foil curtains).

5. How do I decorate a small room for a birthday?

 Focus on the ceiling (hanging swirls) and one main wall (foil curtains/balloons) to save floor space.

6. Can I decorate for a birthday on a tight budget? 

Absolutely. A simple DIY balloon arch kit and a paper banner from Little Decor can transform a room for under ₹500-₹800.

7. Do I need helium for all balloons? 

No! You only need helium if you want them to float independently. For arches and wall garlands, normal air (using a pump) is perfect.

Pastel matte colors, Nude/Beige tones, and Chrome Gold combinations are currently trending.

9. How long does it take to set up a balloon garland?

Section 2: Balloons & Arches (11-30)

11. What is the difference between latex and foil balloons? 

Latex balloons are made of rubber and are stretchy (classic look). Foil balloons are metallic, hold air longer, and come in specific shapes (numbers, stars).

12. How long do air-filled latex balloons last? 

When kept indoors away from direct sunlight, air-filled latex balloons can last 3-7 days.

13. Why do my balloons pop while decorating? 

You might be over-inflating them or exposing them to sharp objects/heat. Under-inflate slightly for better durability.

14. What is a "Confetti Balloon"? 

It is a transparent balloon filled with colorful paper or foil dots. You need to rub them with a cloth to create static so the confetti sticks to the sides.

15. How do I stick balloons to the wall without ruining the paint? 

Use masking tape (painter's tape) or specialized removable glue dots available at Little Decor. Avoid heavy duct tape.

16. Can I reuse foil balloons?

 Yes! You can carefully insert a straw into the valve to release the air, fold them, and store them for next time.

17. What are "Chrome" balloons? 

Chrome balloons have a solid, metallic, mirror-like finish that is much shinier than standard pearl/metallic balloons.

18. Do you sell balloon pumps? 

Yes, we highly recommend buying a hand pump or electric pump from our site to save your breath!

19. How many balloons do I need for a full arch? 

A standard 6-foot garland usually requires 40-60 balloons of mixed sizes.

20. What is a "Balloon Glue Dot"? 

It is a double-sided sticky dot used to stick small balloons into the gaps of a garland or to stick balloons to the ceiling.

21. Can I use a hair dryer to blow up balloons? 

Only if it has a "Cool" setting. Hot air will melt or pop the balloons immediately.

22. How do I make my balloons look shiny? 

Keep them out of the sun (oxidization makes them matte). There are also balloon shine sprays available professionally.

23. What is a Number Balloon? 

These are large foil balloons (usually 16 to 40 inches) shaped like numbers (0-9) to highlight the birthday age.

24. Are pastel balloons good for boys? 

Yes! Pastel Blue, Mint Green, and Yellow are very popular for young boys' birthdays.

This happens due to oxidation. Keep them in a bag until the very last moment before the party starts.

26. Can I mix foil and latex balloons? 

Yes, mixing textures (shiny foil + matte latex) makes your decor look professionally styled.

27. Do you have character balloons? 

Little Decor stocks various themed foil balloons like unicorns, astronauts, dinosaurs, and superheroes.

28. What is a "Balloon Strip"? 

It is a plastic tape with holes in it. You pull the balloon knots through the holes to easily create a garland.

29. Can balloons be used outdoors? 

Yes, but they will degrade faster. Keep them in the shade; direct hot sun will pop them.

30. How do I dispose of balloons responsibly? 

Pop them and put them in the bin. Do not release helium balloons into the sky as they are harmful to wildlife.
