Need helium balloons for a party at 9am, will they still float if we buy them the night before?!


Question: Need helium balloons for a party at 9am, will they still float if we buy them the night before!?
ok, here's the deal:

We have a baby shower that will start at 9am on a Sunday and we need helium balloons (that float) for some of the decorations as well as for some of the party games!.

The party store (the only place near by to buy helium balloons) does not open until 10:00am on Sunday!.
They close at 9:00pm on Saturday night!.

If we bought the balloons between 8-9pm on Saturday night, would they still float for the party at 9am on Sunday morning!?
Or is that too long of a time to wait overnight and they would just sink!?

thanks to anyone who might be able to help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Hey don't worry! Just buy them as late as possible but the actual balloons don't start to deflate until after around 12 hours!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

They might still be floating at the beginning of the party and will probably sink throughout the party!.

Some party stores let you rent a helium tank so you can fill up the balloons when you want to!. See if your store does that!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

that is pushing it a bit
becuase they will generally last about 8-10 hours
if you must do it tell them at store to be sure to fill to the limit
good luck
i have seen them last about about 15 hours but they do not look the same after that longWww@FoodAQ@Com

Latex ones, I have no idea
Mylar ones, they'll last like a week with 0 problemWww@FoodAQ@Com
