First time party thrower with a stupid question.

How do I get helium into the balloons I bought.  I looked online and I can get a tank for 40 bucks but that seems like alot for some air.

Re: First time party thrower with a stupid question.

  • I generally buy balloons and have them filled at a party supply store.  I don't know if you can take your own in, but they charge so much (seemingly, for what it is at least), that I bet you can.  I'd definitely give one a call!

    This is what I'm doing. I ordered a couple online from a party store, then I asked in the store if they could inflate them and they said yep. There is a charge, but it's nothing crazy. And I'm only getting a few so it's not worth it to me to get a tank.

  • Party city has a helium balloon kit - I don't know how much it was but it looked relatively inexpensive.

    Yes.  I bought one at Target for less than $20.  Super user friendly.

    That's what we did for my DD's 1st bday party.

  • Party City will fill them if you bring them in but there is a charge.  Just remember if you take them somewhere they usually like to have to balloons the night before so they can fill them in the morning before they get busy.
