Helium balloons never fail to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for any celebration or party, whether for a young or older crowd. Should you decide to inflate it on your own, we have compiled a simple guide on inflating them safely. On top of that, there are other factors to consider, such as the cost.
In this article, we will take a closer look into what goes into inflating helium balloons.
1. Calculating the desired size of your balloons
The size of your balloons matters when it boils down to determining the cost involved in inflating them with helium. You will need to determine how big you want your balloons to be to have a gauge of how much gas is necessary to reach the desired size.
2. Choosing a gas type
The type of gas plays a vital role in the final calculation of the total inflating cost. Helium is the most popular gas choice for balloons. However, there are other options as well, such as air, argon, and helium, though the latter two gases are not as common in Singapore.
3. Establishing the total amount of helium needed
Whether you are planning a party or a specific themed celebration using helium balloons as the main décor element, it is vital to plan ahead and ensure that you have enough helium gas to fill each and every one of them. The best method to help you establish the amount of helium you need is to multiply the number of balloons you intend to use by their capacity in litres. For example, a 12-inch latex balloon would have a capacity of 1 litre. Once you have established the total capacity, you just have to buy the right number of helium gas tanks accordingly.
4. Calculating the cost per balloon
Once you have established both the type of gas as well as the size of your balloons, you will probably want to calculate the total cost per balloon. Most party shops in Singapore charge their helium balloons by the cubic foot, multiplying the price per cubic foot by the total amount of cubic feet necessary for each balloon. You can do the same if you are inflating it yourself.

Inflating them yourself can add a personal and fun touch to your event or party. However, it is crucial to be aware of how much it will cost you to do so before making that commitment.
