Red number balloons

Red number balloons make a bold statement at birthdays, anniversaries or on Valentine's Day. Each digit in glossy aluminium and a vivid red measures about 86 cm tall; the balloons are sold separately, for example for an 18th, 40th or 50th birthday. Red is a perfect match for gold, white and black, for themes such as fire engines, ladybirds, superheroes, cinema or circus, and of course for the Swiss national colours. Add red and white latex balloons to the numbers for a lavish display.

Tips for red number balloons

• Helium or air: with helium the red digit rises above the party table; if you have no helium, fill it with air and turn it into wall decor above the gift table.
• Use contrast: a red number balloon in front of a white wall or combined with gold balloons looks particularly striking in photos.
• Red and white parties: place the red number between white latex balloons to echo the Swiss colours, for example at a club anniversary.
• Keep an eye on children: children under eight can choke on uninflated or burst balloons. Celebrate under adult supervision and dispose of burst balloons immediately.

Frequently asked questions about red number balloons

How do I secure a helium-filled red number balloon safely?

Use only non-metallic ribbon and anchor the balloon with a weight. That way the digit stays in place and does not drift away, even outdoors.

Which colours go with red for a milestone birthday?

For adults, red with gold or black looks elegant and festive; for children, yellow and blue make it bright and cheerful. For Valentine's Day or a wedding anniversary, add red and white hearts to the number.
