The Balloon Guild

09/03/2026

The Balloon Guild is more than a recipe library. It is a community where decorators can compare notes with people who understand the same production, staffing, pricing, and client challenges. Join the Balloon Guild at TheBalloonGuild.com.

This kind of working shot captures what the Balloon Guild is trying to teach: not just what to make, but how to make it efficiently, train someone else to help, and improve the process the next time. Thank you to TUFTEX for sponsoring the balloons used in the Into the Jungle build at GuildCon 2026. Join the Balloon Guild at TheBalloonGuild.com.

A strong finished piece should do more than photograph well. This GuildCon community was also a lesson in planning, labor, materials, sequencing, and repeatability. GuildCon gave us the chance to test those decisions at full scale. The objective is stronger artists and stronger businesses, not simply more complicated decor.

🚨 Hot Topic Monday Update! 🚨

Our Hot Topic Monday Zoom, originally scheduled for Monday, August 10, has been rescheduled to Monday, August 24.

This month is going to be a fun, hands-on workshop! We’ll be using the Mural Builder to create custom mural designs together in real time.

🎈 Here’s how to prepare:
Bring your local school’s mascot or logo, and I’ll personally walk you through the process of designing a mural that you can proudly present to that school as a potential decor piece.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your design skills or create something you can actually sell, this is a session you won’t want to miss!

See you on August 24th!

When we say that the recipes we will be using for our builds at GuildCon '26 are both amazing, practical & profitable- we mean it! There is not fluff or filler at our convention: just sellable an d profitable designs.
These images are from an install we (Party People Events) did this past weekend. This latex hot air balloon design will be one of the builds at GuildCon '26.
Registration will close at the end of the month so there is still time to join. Go register at www.buildwiththeguild.com.
