Tips for Using Balloons at Your Next Party
Balloons are a great way to decorate any party. They are
colorful, festive and rather inexpensive. The two most popular
balloons are latex and mylar balloons. You can even purchase a
helium tank and fill them yourself. A kit comes with a tank, 50
colored latex balloons and ribbons.
One way to decorate your tables is balloon centerpieces.
Depending on your budget you can purchase pre made balloon
weights or make your own. To make your own weights all you need
is sand and foil wrap. Don't forget about putting a balloon on
each chair. If you plan in advance, you can purchase
personalized latex balloons.
A great way to give out party favors is to package three or four
ounces of candy treats in a bag and wrap it with foil wrap. Use
the candy as a weight to hold down the balloon. When the party
is over make sure each child leaves with a balloon and candy
favor.
Another idea for a kids party is to hire a balloon sculptor. A
good sculptor can make hats, animals and keep the party flowing
for over an hour. This is recommended for children three and up
due to the chocking hazards of balloons. Make sure no uninflated
or popped balloons are left around.
Having a pool party? Definitely don't forget the fun water
balloons. I mean you are already wet anyway and it's a great way
to cool down while running around the pool. Check your local toy
store for water balloon hose nozzles that make it easier for
kids to fill their own balloons.
Going to visit someone in the hospital? There is nothing like
showing you care then a bouquet of balloons. Remember, space is
a concern in a hospital room so a few colorful balloons will do
the trick.
Use your imagination and you could come up with endless
possibilities for using balloons to add that extra touch.
Balloons are a fun colorful way to celebrate any occasion, and
best of all they always make you feel like a kid again.
