After learning that Party City was closing, Shawn Marcis saw an opportunity. Instead of asking the question, “Where are we going to go to get balloons?”, she started her own business with Birmingham Balloons. As a busy mom of three, she understands how challenging it can be for parents to balance work, family, and creating memorable moments for their children. That’s why she built Birmingham Balloons with flexibility in mind—offering custom balloon bouquets and helium delivery services that make celebrations effortless. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or corporate event, Shawn’s goal is to help parents and party hosts bring their vision to life while making the process as stress-free as possible.
