Lush custom balloon installation by Party on Butler
A lush custom balloon installation — one of 160 we built this year.

We've all heard of Spotify wrapped, but how about Party on Butler wrapped? This year has been so transformative for our business, and we want to celebrate all of the moments that made 2022 so special. Join us as we take a look back on this crazy year!

So. Many. Installs.

Of course, this year brought so many unique balloon installs (160 to be exact)! We were lucky to help celebrate so many birthdays, bridal and baby showers, graduations, and more. Our 160 installs this year doesn't even account for all of the grab-and-go garlands we create in our store.

Turned One!

This March marked our one year in business! Of course, we had to throw a fabulous party to celebrate with our fantastic team, friends, and family. We decked out our venue in pink and blue balloons, gorgeous custom cookies from Ruby Lou Company, and a photo booth for all of the Instagram content!

Collabed with Local Businesses

Some of our favorite installs are ones for fellow local businesses in Pittsburgh. We've done nearly everything - restaurants, bars, coffee shops, salons, and more!

Opening Our Store

By far, our proudest accomplishment this year has been opening our Lawrenceville storefront in August. Since the beginning, it's always been a dream of ours. The ability to expand our business beyond balloons to selling luxury party supplies and decor has been so exciting.

Our Rebrand

Along with the opening of our store, we also refreshed our brand with a new name, logo, and visual identity. While our brand got a bit of a facelift, our core identity stayed the same – fun, friendly, and of course, pink!

Corporate Installs

Some of the most exciting installs this year have been for our corporate clients such as Google, Duolingo, Compass, and GNC. We love helping them celebrate their special moments whether it be a grand opening, influencer event, or a welcome back to the office!

Our First Lawrenceville Cookie Tour

Our first few months in Lawrenceville have been a blast, and this year's Lawrenceville cookie tour was the perfect way to ring in the holiday season. After nearly 2,000 cookies eaten, it's safe to say the weekend was a success. We are so grateful for all of our new small business buddies in the neighborhood!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who supported Party on Butler. We are so proud of this business we've built, and we truly look forward to everything 2023 has to offer. Have a safe and restful holiday, and have a happy new year!

"160 installs, a new storefront, and a rebrand — all in one unforgettable year."
