Balloons

We associate balloons with celebration and happy days, there is often something to celebrate, the start of life and then every year for our birthday, weddings and more. But it's more than just balloons for birthdays, there are also many other occasions we celebrate with balloons and there are always more and more new initiatives to celebrate. A few years ago we embraced the American Valentine's Day which we celebrate by buying red roses and red balloons. And who knows if there's more to come. We've also started writing with numbers of foil balloons so we can see how old we are getting, or what anniversary we're heading into, or jubilee, there's not that thing that can't be celebrated with balloons. One thing is for sure it brings joy and life to the party when celebrated in this way. Balloons can also be used for many other things, such as meteorological observations, to study the different air currents, but of course this is a completely different kind of balloon.

Fun balloons with different colours and shapes

There are also many different fun balloons, they come in many different colours and several shades as well as similar coloured ones, but can also be found in many different shapes such as hearts and Santas and snowmen and in large and small sizes. They are also available as letters or numbers so we now have the option to write the person's name and possibly age with balloons. Depending on the season there are also balloons that fit in here, whether it is spring, summer, winter or autumn.

Huge balloons in many colours.

Also the fun punch ball, which is a giant balloon with accompanying rubber band, so you can give the balloon a good beating, it is made of a slightly stronger material, as they should be able to withstand a little more than ordinary balloons. These balloons have a length of 115 cm. This will keep the party going for a while. You can have plenty of time to go with these balloons, it's for both kids and adults who can have fun hitting the balloons.

Balloons for parties and birthdays

Whether it's a boy's or girl's birthday, balloons are a must, balloons can help surprise and delight the birthday boy or girl. It could be a big, beautiful pink balloon with a little message or a funny drawing. Or it can be a balloon with dinosaurs or a unicorn, it's up to you, it will create joy. There are also foil balloons, they have become very popular as you can get them in all sorts of shapes for animals and more. If you want a balloon that can last longer and hold itself up, then you need helium, helium balloons can stay floating for about a day.

But celebrating a birthday isn't always something we've done. We have to go back to 1536 after the Reformation when we became a protagonist, this is when we started celebrating our birth. However, at that time it was called name day, so if you were named after a saint, you could celebrate your name day. When you celebrated name day, you received a so-called binding letter, it contained a riddle or a knot you had to solve. If you couldn't solve it, you had to give the sender a small present or hold a feast for him. But there are many other occasions where we use balloons, it could be for an open house, or an anniversary.

Should it be plain balloons?

In the old days they only had plain coloured balloons, they were made from dried bladders of animals. Nowadays however there are many more colours, you can get balloons in any colour you want, depending on what party you are at we will find the colour, it could be the couple choosing to reveal the sex of their future child by surprising the guests with either blue or pink balloons in a box or simply wishing a dear friend a very happy birthday, there is always an option to come with balloons.

But the then modern rubber balloon was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824, he was a British physicist and chemist who made a groundbreaking discovery in electromagnetism. But he was also experimenting with gases and it was this discovery that led him to invent the balloon, as it could be made cheaply and he needed a lot of cheap balloons for his experiments.
