Little Smith Balloons

Little Smith Balloons makes beautiful, personalised balloon displays by hand in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

I'm Sim, a Harpenden mum of four, and I've been making balloons for local families and businesses for years. Every piece is made to order in your colours and theme, using high quality balloons that are made to last.

Number and age stacks. My most popular. A giant foil number with a name added in vinyl, a theme of your choice, and a full balloon base.

Personalised bubble balloons. A clear bubble filled with colour and glitter, personalised with a name, message and date.

Balloon arches and garlands. Show-stopping displays for parties, weddings, sporting events and corporate days. Delivered and set up for you.

Backdrop boards. A pair of arched boards with personalised vinyl and balloon garlands.

Helium bunches and numbers. Floating balloons on a weight, treated with Hi-Float so they last as long as possible.

I personalise almost everything, which is the bit the high street shops can't do. Delivery around Harpenden and the surrounding areas, often the evening before your event, and collection is always welcome. Free local delivery on orders over £50.

I'm Simone, though most people call me Sim, and I'm a Harpenden mum of four.

Going out to work for someone else was never going to fit around four children, so I decided to build something of my own, doing what I love: making children smile. That's honestly how this began, balloons in exchange for smiles.

There's a moment I never get tired of. It's the excitement just before a big day, whether that's a first birthday, a christening or a wedding. Getting to be a small part of that is the best job I could ask for, and it's why I still get a thrill from every delivery.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I only make balloons I'd be happy to receive myself, so everything is high quality and made to last. I use good balloons, I take the time to get the colours right, and I'd rather talk you through the options than sell you something that isn't quite right.

Almost everything I make is personalised. A name, an age, a message, a date, in your colours and your theme. The personalisation is the part people love most. A name, an age, a date or a message, in exactly the colours you want, so it feels like it was made for that one person, because it was.

Everything is handmade right here in Harpenden, and I deliver locally, usually the evening before so it's all ready and waiting for the morning.

I've been making balloons since 2021, so I bring five years of hands-on experience creating displays for families and businesses across Harpenden and the surrounding areas.

Mostly local families across Harpenden, St Albans, Redbourn, Wheathampstead, Luton and Hemel Hempstead, planning birthdays, christenings, baby showers and hen dos. I also work with local businesses and event organisers on corporate days, sporting events and seasonal parties, plus weddings looking for arches, garlands and backdrop boards.
