About
James's full 2-hour party where he makes some of his biggest and best balloons, takes requests, engages your guests one-on-one while entertaining all with his balloons and personality. In addition to his performance, you receive goody bags for the kids and the guest of honor will receive a special balloon made ahead of time that usually takes longer than your party to make. These balloons can be catered to the party theme or anything else your child is into. Accommodates approximately 30 children.
Party Details
Logistics
- Most hosts schedule James about half an hour after the party starts so guests can arrive and settle in; he typically arrives up to 15 minutes early to set up - At private parties James averages about 13 balloons in an hour, 20 in 90 minutes, and 30 in two hours - James likes to set up with his back to a wall (a corner is ideal) and to be visible to as many guests as possible; a flat, stable surface 3-4 feet tall gives him more space - Shade is needed when performing outside in the hotter months - Let James know when booking if parking will be difficult - Extending his time at the event is usually not possible because weekends are packed, but it may be possible if his schedule allows
Rules
- Balloons cannot be made for children under 3 years old (choking hazard, no exceptions) or for any child seen putting things in their mouth like a baby would - No balloon guns - James must be hired for enough time for every child of appropriate age to get a balloon
