Events and rental: Digital job cards for balloon decorators
Digital job cards for balloon decorators that bring the decoration plan with fixing points, colours and quantities to the setup and record how the decoration was handed over.
What a job card for balloon decorators should hold.
On the day of the party a balloon decorator often works from a chat with the client and a sketch on a scrap of paper. Which colour goes where, whether the arch sits left or right of the door and where it may be tied off is buried somewhere in dozens of messages. A helper doing one setup calls to ask where the frame should stand. On arrival the venue turns out not to want its ceiling hooks used. Afterwards there is no record of how the decoration stood when you left, while the client reports that evening that the arch fell over or balloons popped.

From preparation to signed-off card.
Prepare the decoration plan
Each job has a card ready with the address, time window, a photo of the spot marked with where the decoration goes, the colours with their ratios and the fixing method. It also lists the frames, weights and tools to bring. A helper can get started without phoning you first.
Report changes on site
If the decoration cannot be secured as planned, or there is a table where the arch should go, you take a photo and note what you did differently. It is then clear later why an arch was moved or anchored with extra weight. If in doubt, the client gets an immediate message with a suggestion.
Hand over with a photo
After setup you take a handover photo of each decoration and tick that weights, frames and fixings were checked. If the client or venue contact is present, they can sign. If the client reports a problem later, you have a photo of how it looked when you left.
No more paper and loose photos.
Information now sits across your calendar, the chat with the client and sketches in your camera roll. The job card pulls the approved proposal from the quote and the venue arrangements from the enquiry, and bundles them per job. You remain the owner of the design and of decisions on changes; the venue decides what is allowed. Photos and sign-offs belong to the job and can be found again whenever a client has questions.
Sketch or annotated photo
A drawn sketch shows the shape well but says little about the real space. A photo of the venue with notes shows exactly where the decoration goes and what might be in the way. Many decorators use both: a sketch for the shape and an annotated photo for the placement, so helpers understand both at a glance.
Client signs or photo only
A client signature at handover gives certainty, but at a surprise party or wedding the client is often absent. A time-stamped handover photo is then the minimum. Where a venue contact is present, they can sign that the decoration is stable and safe before guests start arriving.
Fix the method upfront or decide on site
Agreeing the fixing method upfront avoids surprises, but venues sometimes change their rules or rearrange the room. Deciding on site is flexible but makes it hard to justify later why something was done differently. It works best when the card holds the plan and every change is logged with a photo and reason.

Read the storyWhat goes on the job card.
Per job the job card is ready with decoration plan, colours, fixings and packing list, change reports with photos and a handover step with a photo and optional signature. Together we walk through an ordinary birthday at home, and a party where the venue refuses ceiling fixings on the day itself. Takedown cards and booking materials back in, so a missing base is noticed the next morning, can be added later.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsDoes the job card work without signal in a basement venue?
Yes. The card is stored on your phone in advance, with plan, colours and photos. Ticks and handover photos are saved and sent once you have signal again. You do not need to step outside to finish the job.
Can helpers see only their own jobs?
Yes. A helper sees only the cards for jobs they are booked on, without prices or the rest of your clients. They can still report changes and take handover photos, so you know how things went on site.
What if a client later says the decoration was not right?
You have the time-stamped handover photo and the check on weights and fixings. That lets you discuss with the client what happened after you left, for example wind, heat or guests pulling on the arch.
Can the job card show which frames to bring?
Yes. The packing list shows frames, bases, weights, pumps and tools for that job. You tick what is in the van when you leave and what comes back at removal. A base or frame left at a venue is noticed immediately.
