Provided you take the pills as directed and aren't super-duper fertile, you can dispense with the balloons.
If you miss a pill, use condoms as a back-up until you're back on schedule (read the directions for the pills you're taking... how long it takes for coverage to be re-established will vary from brand-to-brand and can vary by week depending on the hormone dosage of the pill in multi-forumula packs. An easy and safe solution is to use condoms+pill until you start a new pack whenever you miss.
Keep your boyfriend informed. Don't spring it on him with his pants half off that you're going to be using condoms for the rest of the month because you missed a pill two days ago. Also keep in mind that switching brands of birth control can be disruptive to coverage.
Hopefully you've already come to terms on how you and your partner plan on dealing with an unexpected pregnancy.
