What are some ideas for how to use the custom balloon garland kits?
Our custom balloon garland kits are perfect for any event! Use them as Bridal Shower decorations, Sweet 16 party photo backdrop, or a Winnie the Pooh Baby Backdrop balloon arch. Our DIY balloon arch kits are easy to set up and look professionally done.
Can I blow up the balloons the day before the event? How long do the balloons last?
Can I blow up the balloons the day before the event? How long do the balloons last?
Since balloons for your balloon garland will be air-filled, they can actually last 5-7 days (out of direct sun and heat!) We usually recommend setting up the garland 1-2 days before the event.
How many balloons come with a kit?
How many balloons come with a kit?
Each DIY balloon arch kit comes with enough balloons in a variety of sizes to make your garland nice and full. No skimpy garlands here!
The 20-foot garland: about 200 balloons.
The 15-foot garland: about 150 balloons.
The 10-foot garland: about 100 balloons.
The 5-foot garland: about 50 balloons.
How do I hang the garland?
How do I hang the garland?
If you're looking to hang your high quality balloon garland from a wall, for a sturdy or secure hang, I recommend a product similar to "command hooks". Attach the hooks to your wall, and uses string to hang the garland around the hooks.
If you want to use the garland outside, you can also use Command Hooks if hanging from a wall or entryway.
If you'd like the garland to be free-standing, you will need something like a Backdrop Stand, which you can find on Amazon.com.
I want my garland to have that "matte" look. Are the balloons matte?
I want my garland to have that "matte" look. Are the balloons matte?
Our balloons naturally have some shine to them. But if you want your balloons to look extra matte, they will need to oxidize. Oxidization occurs when the balloons come in contact with oxygen and sunlight!
We don't recommend leaving the balloons out in the sun (sunlight and heat can cause popping), but one easy technique is to blow them up early 2-3 days early! The longer balloons are blown up, the more matte they will become.
