Written by: Maryam Ibrahim - Digital Marketing Intern

Is there a better way to ring in the Wild Ones than with a Safari Birthday Party? And is there a better reason to bring out our show-stopping leopard and giraffe print balloons? This 1st birthday party hit all the marks and we had the privilege of bringing the safari-themed party to the event!

Inside-the-Install Details


Balloons are our specialty, but we love how this installation incorporated non-balloon elements, such as the stuffed giraffe and lion. Working with our clients on birthday installs such as this one really pushes our creativity to the limit, and we are always excited by that!

Local Market is one of Regina's best places to find unique snacks and goodies! But did you know is also one of the city's sweetest event venues? Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or Safari Birthday Party, this venue never disappoints!


Behind the Scenes (AKA in the Wild)

Ladders, leaves, and leopard print! It's always fun to see the elements come together and create balloon magic!

3 Things This "Turning 1" Party Did Right:

  1. Theme: Celebrating a child's first birthday is definitely a "wild" experience! Choosing a safari theme is such a fun and memorable way to commemorate this moment...and that's what we're all about!
  2. Venue: Whether you're throwing a birthday party from the comfort of your home or at another location, choosing the right venue is crucial. Our client made sure there was plenty of space for the little ones to explore and have fun.
  3. Backdrop: The requested install made for a perfect photoshoot backdrop. Imagine all the adorable photos with the stuffed animals and colorful balloons! 

This safari birthday party was such a fun project to work on! Thank you to all our wonderful clients who choose us to be a part of their incredible moments. If you enjoyed this install as much as we did, why not consider a safari theme for your next birthday?
