Most days, when you book with us, all you see is a little back-and-forth through messages, a few questions here and there, and then… you see us on the day of your event.
And more often than not, by the time you see us setting up, the majority of the work has already been done.
What you DON’T see is everything that happens before we ever pull up to your venue.
You don’t see the hours spent scrolling through hundreds of balloon colors trying to find the perfect shades to match your theme.
You don’t see the Canva mockups… and the 17 versions of those mockups because we keep staring at them thinking, “Something still isn’t right.” 😂
You don’t see us blowing up balloons, stepping back, staring at them, moving things around, taking pictures, stepping back AGAIN, deciding we hate it, taking it apart, and starting over.
You don’t see the balloons that mysteriously refuse to cooperate.
You don’t see the popped balloons.
You don’t see the ones that don't match quite right.
You don’t see the vinyl being measured, cut, weeded, and applied to arches and signs — or the moment you realize you messed it up and have to start all over again.
You definitely don’t see the countless emergency trips to Walmart because we ran out of vinyl, forgot something, need another pack of balloons, or suddenly decided we absolutely cannot live without one more thing. 😂
You don’t see the supply lists.
The inventory checks.
The measuring.
The packing.
The repacking.
The unpacking because we forgot something.
The loading of the car.
The rearranging of the car.
The “How are we possibly going to fit all of this?” conversation.
You don’t see us checking the weather 47 times when an event is outside.
You don’t see us looking at the timeline and mentally running through every single thing that could possibly go wrong — and then making a backup plan for the backup plan.
You don’t see the late-night texts.
The emails.
The invoices.
The contracts.
The deposits.
The follow-ups.
The consultations.
The calendar management.
The ordering.
The tracking numbers.
The missing packages.
The damaged packages.
The last-minute changes.
The “Can we add just one more thing?” requests.
The countless hours making sure every little detail is accounted for so that your day feels effortless.
And then there’s the part of the business that has absolutely nothing to do with decorating an event.
You don’t see us working on our website.
Updating our services.
Writing descriptions.
Taking pictures.
Editing pictures.
Trying to come up with something interesting to post on Facebook.
Making Reels.
Making TikToks.
Taking videos that take 45 minutes to make for a 12-second clip.
Trying to figure out why a post that took us two hours to create got 6 views. 😂
Researching trends.
Learning new techniques.
Looking for new products.
Comparing prices.
Finding vendors.
Running ads.
Checking ad performance.
Trying to figure out what the heck Facebook wants from us this week.
Working on getting listed with The Knot and WeddingWire.
Looking for styled shoots.
Finding events we can participate in.
Sometimes even doing events for little to nothing just to get our name out there and put our work in front of new people.
Networking.
Answering inquiries that don't always turn into bookings.
Following up with potential clients.
Trying to turn one event into the next five referrals.
And then…
Life.
You don’t see the kids needing dinner while we're trying to finish an order.
You don’t see homework happening in between emails.
You don’t see school.
You don’t see full-time jobs.
You don’t see part-time jobs.
You don’t see late nights after everyone else has gone to bed because this is finally the quiet time we have to get work done.
You don’t see us working on our business while the kids are watching TV.
You don’t see us answering a client while standing in the grocery store.
You don’t see us sitting in the car between responsibilities trying to get one more thing checked off the list.
You don’t see the exhaustion.
You don’t see the stress.
You don’t see the moments where we question whether we're doing enough.
You don’t see all the sacrifices that come with trying to build something of our own while still being parents, spouses, employees, students, and human beings.
You see the balloons. 🎈
We see everything it took to get those balloons there.
You see the finished arch.
We see the planning, designing, purchasing, prepping, practicing, problem-solving, loading, driving, unloading, installing, adjusting, photographing, cleaning up, and starting all over again for the next event.
And we wouldn't trade it.
Because when we arrive at your event and see everything come together exactly the way we pictured it…
When we see your face light up…
When we hear, “OH MY GOSH, I LOVE IT!”
That makes every late night, every Walmart run, every popped balloon, every stressful moment, and every hour behind the scenes worth it.❤️
So the next time you see a small business owner and it looks like they're simply “doing their job,” remember:
There is probably an entire world of work happening behind the scenes that you will never see.
We may only be in front of you for a few hours on event day…
But we are working on your event long before you ever see us — and long after we leave.
And we are incredibly grateful that you trust us to be a small part of your biggest moments. 🤍🎈
Thank you for supporting our small business. Every booking, referral, review, share, comment, and like means more than you know.
