Message Balloons

Hark & Herald Message Balloons

Our message balloons were inspired by our children's book Heavenly Balloons. Release a balloon and enjoy the peace and contentment it may bring. Our unique message balloons include a tracking feature that provides a way to connect the one who releases a balloon with the one who finds it. We believe releasing one of our balloons will inspire a great interest in checking the tracking board to see if someone has found your balloon and responded to your story.

Releasing a message balloon can be a rewarding experience and may provide a simple way to express feelings and emotions. It may also connect you to someone who could become a great inspiration and help you build a bridge from where you are today to a better place tomorrow.

More importlantly, it allows an opportunity for someone to read a heartfelt story posted on the board and in return, reach back with words of compassion or gifts of kindness. With that said, we encourage you to write your thoughts, feelings and all your hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow!

How It Works

Buy a balloon packet and we will ship it to you in an individual packet containing (1) 12" latex balloon, 48" ribbon, our signature sticker containing a pre-assigned tracking number, a keepsake card and easy to follow step by step instructions. Helium can be purchased at any location selling balloons for a minimal fee.

Balloon Facts About Protecting Our Environment

The balloon industry operates with an eye on the environment. Important facts you should know about latex balloon releases:

Only latex balloons are used by professionals in mass releases. Industry guidelines require these balloons to be self-tied and have no attached strings or ribbons when released - each balloon is 100% biodegradable.
Rarely do released balloons return to the earth's surface intact. Studies show these balloons usually rise to an altitude of about five miles. At that point, freezing and air pressure causes "brittle fracture" creating spaghetti-like pieces that scatter to the four winds.
While some balloons don't reach this altitude, research indicates that in an average 500-balloon release, the unexploded balloon return density is no greater than one per 15 square miles.
Regardless of the latex balloon's ultimate form when it lands, it will decompose, forming a natural soil nutrient at the same rate as that of an oak leaf.
