Hello everyone! 💗

Well… it’s been a very unusually quiet week here at Pink Tree Parties! 👀

Where Is Everybody?!

We’re not quite sure where everybody has disappeared to, but our balloons are certainly missing you! 😂🎈

We know the summer holidays can be a funny time for businesses, with everyone off enjoying themselves, but if you’ve got a birthday, celebration, party or event coming up, we’d love for you to think of us when you’re looking for your balloons.

As a small independent business on Kirkham High Street, every order really does make a difference to us. Whether you need one personalised balloon, a few birthday balloons or a full venue installation, we’d love to help.

You can pop into the shop, give us a call, send us a message or browse our website and pre-order from the comfort of your sofa.

Please don’t forget about your local balloon shop! 💗

🛍️ A Little Look Behind the Scenes

Although the orders have been a little thin on the ground this week, that certainly doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting around twiddling our thumbs!

We’ve been using the quieter moments to catch up on all those jobs that are much harder to get done when we’re running around creating balloons and setting up events.

We’ve been tidying, organising, sorting stock rooms and generally giving everything a bit of a reset.

There’s something very satisfying about getting everything back where it belongs… although I’m sure it won’t stay that way for long! 😂

There is actually a surprising amount that goes on behind the scenes at Pink Tree Parties that you don’t necessarily see — from keeping stock organised and checking what needs reordering to planning future displays, updating the website and preparing for the busier seasons ahead.

So even when the shop looks quiet, there’s always something happening behind the scenes.

🎈 Have You Seen Our Click and Collect Section Lately?

If you’re looking for balloons for an upcoming celebration, have you had a browse through our website recently?

We’ve got lots of different designs available to pre-order for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, weddings, congratulations, seasonal celebrations and so much more.

And if you see something you like but want to change the colours, wording or design, we’re always happy to create something a little more bespoke.

You don’t have to wait until you’re ready to collect either — pre-ordering means you can get your balloons booked in advance and tick one more thing off your to-do list! 💗

🍂🎃🎄 The Busy Seasons Are Coming…

Okay, we’re definitely not in full autumn, Halloween and Christmas mode just yet…

But they are absolutely on the agenda! 👀

Halloween and Christmas, including Elf Returns, are already available to pre-order on our website, so if you’re one of those organised people who likes to get everything booked nice and early, you can already tick those off your list.

Everything is there ready for you to browse, personalise and pre-order, so you can get it sorted now and not have to worry about it later.

And I have to admit…

While the shop may not be in full festive mode just yet, I certainly am! 😂

My house is currently covered in pumpkins, witches and ghosts because autumn is my absolute favourite season… but you’ll probably find me singing Christmas songs while I’m putting them all out because Christmas is by far my favourite holiday! 🎃🎄

Autumn decorations + Christmas music = completely acceptable in my world. 😂

🎒 And Just Like That… August Has Come to an End!

I honestly can’t believe how quickly August has flown by! These summer holidays really have gone by in the blink of an eye.

Although I’m sure for some of you with children, you’re probably thinking “Bring on September!” 😂

With the new school year just around the corner, we know we’ve mentioned Back to School balloons a few times already, but if you’re still looking for something for those all-important first day of school photos, there’s still time to get your order in!

Whether it’s their first day of primary school, starting high school, heading into their final year or even starting college, we can create something to make that first-day photo a little more special. 🎒🎈

We have lots of designs available to pre-order on our website, and remember, they don’t have to stay exactly as you see them. Colours, wording and personalisation can all be changed, or if you’ve got your own idea, we’d be more than happy to create something completely bespoke.

And… good luck with those hectic early mornings again! 😂

🎈 Just How Much Can We Create?

Sometimes it’s easy to see a particular balloon display and think, “Oh, that’s what Pink Tree does.”

But the truth is, we can create so much more!

From balloon bouquets and number stacks to large backdrops, organic garlands, columns and statement displays, through to ceiling balloons, floor balloons, table decorations, personalised balloons, gumballs, bubble balloons and venue styling — there really are countless possibilities.

We can decorate homes, venues, hotels and lodges, create something small and simple or go all out with a much larger installation.

The photos below are just a small selection of some of the displays we’ve created over the years, showing just how varied our work can be.

So, if you’ve got an idea in your head but can’t quite find exactly what you’re looking for on our website, don’t be afraid to ask!

We love bringing your ideas to life, and no celebration is too big or too small. 💗🎈

💗 A Little Reminder to Shop Local

As you’ve probably gathered from this week’s blog, we’re very lucky to have such a fantastic selection of independent businesses here in Kirkham.

So, whether you’re looking for a coffee, a gift, something new to wear, flowers, lunch or simply fancy having a browse, please remember to shop local whenever you can. 💗

You’ve already had a little look at some of the businesses you can find around our high street earlier in this blog, and we’d love to see you supporting them just as much as you’d support us.

Of course, we’d absolutely love to see more of you popping through the Pink Tree doors too! 😂🎈 But supporting local isn’t just about one business.

It’s about keeping our independent shops, cafés and businesses here in Kirkham, because they’re what make our town what it is.

Every purchase, coffee, lunch, gift, balloon or browse makes a difference to a small business.

So next time you’re thinking about where to spend your money, think local first. 💗

💗 From Us to You

As usual, we always like to finish with a little appreciation and a huge thank you to everyone who has ordered from us this past week, popped into the shop or even just stopped by for a chat and to discuss ideas for an upcoming party or event.

We genuinely appreciate every single person who walks through our doors and supports us, whether you’ve popped in to grab something as small as a pack of candles, picked a balloon from our spinner, or placed a large booking with us.

And it’s not just orders that make a difference. To everyone who recommends us to a friend, signs up to or read our newsletters, follows us on social media or simply keeps an eye on what we’re getting up to — thank you! 💗

Every little bit of support means something to our small business, and we really do appreciate it more than you know.

And if you’ve been thinking about ordering something from us…

This is your little nudge! 👀🎈

We’d absolutely love to see you.

Lots of love,
The Pink Tree Girls 💗
