Description
These photo booth props are a 25 pack of black mustache-shaped balloons, easy to inflate and equally good held up to the face for a photo or bunched as decoration, for $13.99.
Printed photo props on sticks have one problem: they arrive flat, they photograph flat, and they end up in a pile on a table. A balloon has volume, so it reads properly in a picture taken across a room and it fills space when it is not in someone's hand. Twenty-five means every guest gets one and there are still enough left to bunch into the backdrop, which is the trick that makes a shower look styled rather than assembled.

Why Balloon Props Beat Printed Ones
-
They have volume - a shaped balloon reads in a photo from across a room where a flat printed prop does not.
-
Twenty-five covers the guest list - one each with enough spare to decorate as well.
-
Prop and decoration in one - they hang in bunches between photos rather than piling up on a table.
-
Black on any palette - works against pink, blue or neutral without clashing.
-
Under fifteen dollars - the cheapest way to make a photo backdrop look deliberate.
How Do You Hold a Balloon Prop?
By the neck, at arm's length, so it sits in front of the mouth in the frame. Most people work this out in about two seconds. If you want them steadier, tape a paper straw or a wooden skewer to the neck and they become stick props.
Do They Need Helium?
No. Air is what you want for handheld props, because a helium-filled balloon pulls upward and away from the face. Blow them up by mouth or with a hand pump on the day.
What Themes Do They Suit?
Little man and moustache-themed baby showers most obviously, and gender reveals where a mustache is the shorthand for a boy. They also work for first birthdays, a father-to-be shower, Movember events and any party with a photo corner where guests need something to hold.
Who Buys These
People hosting baby showers with a photo corner, which is now most of them. Anyone running a little man or moustache theme. Gender reveal organisers pairing them with a pink alternative. They also sell to workplaces running Movember fundraisers and to photographers who keep a box of props for family shoots.
Pair It With
A photo corner needs a backdrop as well as props. Our Baby Shower collection covers the banners and toppers, BABY BOY and BABY GIRL foil letter balloons make the backdrop itself, and Party Supplies & Decorations has the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many balloons are in the pack?
25.
What colour are they?
Black.
Do I need a pump?
No, though a hand pump makes inflating 25 of them considerably faster.
Can I use helium?
You can, but air is better for handheld props because helium pulls the balloon away from the face.
Are sticks included?
No. Tape a straw or skewer to the neck if you want stick props.
How long before the party should I inflate them?
On the day. Latex balloons soften over time, particularly in heat.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, including regional and remote addresses.
Fast Australian Shipping
We dispatch from Australia, so these props reach Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin quickly, and we post to regional and remote addresses as well. Orders placed on a business day are picked the same day wherever stock allows.
Product photography is indicative. Colours may vary slightly between screens and the item in hand. Balloons are not a toy: keep uninflated balloons and broken pieces away from children under eight, supervise children around balloons, and never release balloons outdoors.
