About Us: The Art of the Party

The merge of Balloon Creations By Carolyn & Just For Fun Art

Who We Are

Founded by Michael and Carolyn Hadin, Balloon Creations By Carolyn has been a creative fixture in the Sacramento area since 1989. What began as balloon bouquet deliveries has grown into a full-service event decor company, specializing in balloon installations for weddings, corporate events, grand openings, and more. In 2007, we expanded our creative journey by launching 

Just For Fun Art—a space for art, imagination, and community connection.
Both brands now operate under The Art of the Party, located at 3995 N Freeway Blvd in Natomas, Sacramento. With over 35 years in balloons and nearly 20 years in art experiences, we offer creative services for all ages—indoors and out!

Our Story

In 2000, we officially launched Balloon Creations By Carolyn, which had already been growing steadily through word of mouth. In 2007, a family trip to Disney World—and one unforgettable face-painting experience at Animal Kingdom—inspired Carolyn to expand into face and body art. That passion grew into a retail shop, a team of artists, and eventually Just For Fun Art, a studio designed to spark creativity in kids and adults alike.

While we’ve since sold the face painting branch of the business, our heart remains in art, learning, and joyful celebration. Today, our two worlds—balloon decor and creative arts—have come together under The Art of the Party, where we celebrate every event with imagination, care, and a whole lot of color.
