Meet Kori — The Woman Behind Cheap Custom Balloons

Kori isn't your typical business owner. She's a mom, a local entrepreneur, and the kind of person who throws the birthday parties everyone in the neighborhood talks about for weeks. Long before Cheap Custom Balloons existed, she was the go-to planner for family celebrations, community events, and every milestone in between.

How It All Started

As a local entrepreneur planning events for her own family and community, Kori kept hitting the same wall. Custom-printed balloons — the kind with your logo, your child's name, or your brand's colors — were priced like luxury goods. Setup fees. Middleman markups. Order minimums built for big corporations, not everyday people.

For the mom planning a birthday, the small shop owner wanting branded décor, or the event planner working within a budget, getting custom balloons was far harder than it needed to be.

Kori knew there had to be a better way. So she built one.

Turning a Problem Into a Mission

What started as frustration turned into a full-blown mission — make custom-printed balloons affordable, accessible, and easy to order for everyone. No corporate minimums. No hidden fees. No feeling like you need a marketing budget just to put your name on a balloon.

With factory-direct pricing and a streamlined online process, Kori built Cheap Custom Balloons to serve the people she knew best: families, small businesses, retailers, wholesalers, and event pros across the United States.

A Woman-Owned Business, Built Locally

Cheap Custom Balloons is proudly woman-owned and operated. Kori leads the company with the same hands-on care she brings to her own events — every order matters, every customer matters, and every balloon that leaves the facility reflects her standards.

She's joined by her business partner, Shehmir, who supports the operations side of the business. Together, they've built a team and a process that keeps things simple: high-quality balloons, fair prices, and real people ready to help.

More Than Just Balloons

Today, Cheap Custom Balloons offers custom-printed balloons, plain balloons in every style, and a growing range of party supplies — all at factory-direct prices. The website also connects customers with talented décor designers, so whether you're planning it yourself or hiring a pro, you're covered.

Kori's Promise to You

Every balloon you order carries a piece of the story it came from — a woman who saw a problem, rolled up her sleeves, and built something better for her community and beyond.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
