WOW! Balloons USA designs and installs graduation balloon decor in Boston and across New England: photo walls with the class year, arches in school colors, garlands for grad parties at home and larger installations for school and university events. Every design is made for your space and installed by our own crew. Minimum order is from $500 and up in the Boston area, plus a $100 setup and delivery fee.
What We Build for Graduations
Photo walls with the year. A balloon wall with the class year, the name or the school, where the graduate, the family and friends take their pictures.
Arches in school colors. An arch at the entrance of the party, the venue or the building, in the colors of the school or the university.
Garlands for grad parties. An organic garland along the dessert table, the fireplace or the backyard fence, the easiest way to make a home party feel like an event.
Numbers and lettering. Large foil numbers for the class year, letters, stars and other shapes worked into a wall or a garland.
Columns and centerpieces. Columns at the entrance and centerpieces for guest tables.
Events at Schools and Universities
We install at schools, colleges and university buildings, and our work has included installations at Harvard University and Clark University in Worcester. We coordinate setup times with the school or the event team and provide a certificate of insurance whenever the venue asks for one. Our structures are free standing and do not damage walls or ceilings.
Grad Parties at Home
Many graduation parties happen at home, in a backyard or under a tent. Outdoors, balloons should stay out of direct sunlight, because heat makes them pop, so we plan for shade, and an outdoor installation is planned for one day. Indoors, in an air conditioned room, an installation holds its shape for about a week.
Book Early in Graduation Season
May and June are the busiest months for graduations, and many families plan their parties for the same weekends. In graduation season we usually need four to five days to prepare an order, and dates fill up first, so contact us as soon as you know the date, even if the design is not decided.

FAQ
Yes. We can match your school colors very closely. The balloon industry offers many standard colors and shades, and in most cases that gives us everything we need. If a color must be matched more precisely, we can sometimes use a double-balloon technique, placing one balloon inside another to adjust the shade. So yes, we can usually match school colors very, very closely.
For us, the better question is not “what is most popular?” but “what will look best in this specific space?” The room or outdoor area dictates the design. The same graduation party may need a completely different plan if it is moved from a backyard to a house, from a house to a venue, or from outside into a tent. For example, if we are planning an outdoor graduation and there is a chance of rain, we often need two plans: one for outside and one for inside. A large outdoor arch may not work indoors if the ceiling is too low. In that case, columns or another structure may look better and avoid making the ceiling feel even lower. Outside, we cannot hang ceiling décor because there is no ceiling; inside, that may become a beautiful option. So the answer depends on the space, the ceiling height, the weather plan, the number of guests, and the overall feeling you want. During the first consultation, we will discuss the location and quickly determine what will look best there. If needed, we can also meet at the venue, backyard, park, or event location and make recommendations on-site.
Yes, of course. A graduation cap is a standard and very recognizable graduation element, and we can create it in balloon form. We can also create diploma-themed designs, such as a balloon wall or another structure that looks like a diploma. There are also many other possible graduation-themed designs, depending on the space, budget, and style of the event.
As early as possible. The moment you realize that you may need balloon décor, please call us and give us the date and the time you need. That allows us to reserve the setup window and make sure a team is available for you. Even during the busiest graduation season, the actual turnaround time may be only 4–5 days, and sometimes even 3 days. But the real issue is availability. If another event has already taken the exact time you need, the team may no longer be available. So even if you do not yet know exactly what you want, call us as soon as you know you may need décor. We can reserve the time first and work out the design details afterward.
Yes, we currently have packages, and the details are available through the pop-up on our website. Even with a package, I still recommend sending us a few photos of your backyard first. That allows us to customize the package to fit your specific space. The price does not change just because we adapt the design to your yard — it simply helps us make the décor look better and work better for your event.
Yes, absolutely. Over our 35 years in business, we have done many outdoor graduation and garden-style events. The important thing is that every garden, yard, and outdoor area is different. To make the first conversation useful, it helps if you send us several photos of the space. Once we see the yard or garden, we can quickly recommend what will look good, what will work technically, and what fits your budget.
That question really cannot be answered properly without details. A graduation event can be a huge university celebration with thousands of people, or it can be a small family dinner in the backyard. Those are completely different projects. In every case, we need a consultation. We will ask how many guests you expect, where the event will take place, whether it is in a home, tent, park, hotel ballroom, school, or university space, and what kind of visual impact you want. Once we understand the event and the space, we can recommend decorations that will look good and show you how to customize the design to your budget.
Yes. We can create a balloon wall and spell the graduate’s name in balloon letters, or we can create separate balloon letter sculptures and place them somewhere in the room or event space. Balloon letter sculptures can range from about 4–5 feet tall to as large as 15 feet tall. Most commonly, we create letters around 10 feet tall. Examples of this type of work can be seen in our portfolio.
It depends on our schedule at that moment. In extreme emergency situations, over the 35 years we have been in business, we have sometimes created décor on the same day as the event. But that is an emergency situation, not the normal way to plan. Usually, even in the busiest season, if we have 3–4 days, it is not a problem. The real problem is not always the production time — it is whether our teams are already booked for that exact day and time. It is very rare that we have to say no because someone called too late, but it can happen if all teams are already working. To be safe, call us as soon as you know you may need decoration, even if you do not yet know exactly what you want. We can reserve the time for you first and work out the details later.
Yes. The host does not need to be present for delivery and setup. If the host wants to stay informed, we can take photos during the setup process and send progress updates. But as long as we have access to the space and the plan is clear, we can handle the installation without requiring the host to be there.
