What colors to choose for your party theme?

Assuming you have already picked out a theme for your party, you now have the heavy decision on what color scheme to coordinate. 

It may seem challenging with all of the options out there, but we are here to help. We chose some popular colors and coordinated popular party themes to help make your decision easier!

We will highlight a few popular options below, but definitely check out our blog here for a more in-depth look into color combinations!

Here are a few examples of what balloon colors look great together: 

Classic Colors 

If you are looking for a bold look to compliment your party, then these balloons are a perfect match!

Colors include chrome gold, chrome silver, and black for a glamorous event! These shiny colors will always be a classic option to have on hand. 

Everyone loves this color combination for graduations, milestone birthdays, retirement parties, and New Year celebrations.

So, put on your best dress and have a ball!

All Neutrals

Classic color collections are just that… classic. But how about some neutrals? May sound a bit boring at first, but there are endless themes you can coordinate neutrals with. 

Choose all-white or add in a flare of blush, linen, and pearl. Looking to go a bit more moody? Nude tones that include brown, blush, linen, and white will be just right. 

Whether you have a bohemian-inspired party, a sloth birthday party, a wedding shower, or a beautiful baby shower, neutrals will set the tone for a stunning celebration. 

Check out our most popular balloon garland for that all-neutral look!

Baby Shower Colors

Pink and White

The soft hues of white and baby pink make the best palettes for a baby girl on her way. 

These classic colors are standard for a girl’s baby shower. You can add different details to coordinate with your theme to make it the perfect ensemble for mama and all of her guests.

Blue and White

Welcome baby boy with this beautiful color combination. The details are what will set your party apart! Your baby shower theme could be race cars, twinkle little star, or a mustache. 

Add several shades of blue to make a sky, a royal blue for race cars, or light blue by itself to add a touch of elegance to your party.

Pooh Theme 

Winnie-the-Pooh is a timeless theme that will be around forever. From classic Pooh to modern Pooh, whichever you choose, there is a color theme to match! 

Colors full of soft yellows, grays, pinks, or blues should match the feel of Pooh’s heartwarming messages.

The Pooh theme coordinates best with a baby shower. Use neutrals or blue and pink for a gender reveal, or even if you know the gender, we have the perfect Pooh collection for your party decorations! 

Gender Reveal

Whether or not you know the gender of your baby, white balloons with either or both pastel pink and blue are perfect for your baby shower or gender reveal party! 

These colors complement any shower theme you have in mind! Pair with Pooh Bear, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, or a donut theme!  

Not only do these colors match well, but they will always be trendy for a gender reveal, baby shower, or birthday party!
