What if the baby is not born yet?
Plenty of these are ordered before the birth. Use the name if it is decided, or put Baby plus the last name if the first name is still a secret. You can also order after and have them in a couple of days.
Can I change the Welcome Baby line?
Yes. Welcome to the World, Hello Little One, Oh Baby, or whatever your family says. Type it in and we will set it in the design.
Which design should I pick if I do not know the sex?
Sage. It is the gender-neutral one, with a green bow tie, eucalyptus, and gold stars, and it is the most popular of the three for exactly this reason.
Can I take one to the hospital?
Usually yes, but check with the ward first. Many maternity units allow foil balloons and ban latex ones because of allergy risk, which makes foil the safer choice. Bring it inflated with air rather than helium if the room is small.
How long will they last?
Filled with helium they float for roughly three to five days. Filled with air on a stick or stand they hold their shape for several weeks, which is why many families keep one up for newborn photos.
How many should I order?
One is plenty for a hospital room or a front door. For a shower, three to five spread across the table and entrance looks intentional without crowding the room. There is no minimum, so order what suits the space.
Is helium included?
No, they ship flat and uninflated. Most party stores and florists will inflate a balloon you bring in for a small fee.
Do you have matching cups and napkins?
Not yet, but they are coming in these same three designs, personalized with the baby's name the same way. Email hello@partydepot.com if you have a date coming up and we will tell you where they are.
Can I order more than one design?
Each order covers one design. For a mix, place separate orders or email hello@partydepot.com and we will set it up as one order.
Can I use these for a gender reveal?
Yes. Many people order the Blue and Pink together and keep one hidden, or use Sage for the shower and a colored one for the reveal itself.
Can I return them?
They are printed with a name, so they cannot be resold and are final sale. If we made a mistake or they arrive damaged, we will reprint or refund.
