Party Balloons Weights: What Are They?

0 Comments 17 August 2009

Party balloons weights are meant to weigh down balloons that have been filled with helium. However, with a little bit of effort and lots of creativity, you can turn it into a style statement for your party. You can buy these weights at local shops specializing in party decorations. You can even make them yourself, to add that personal touch.

You can get beautiful party balloons weights to weigh down Mylar balloons in blacks, greens, blues and reds. These can set you back by $1.19.You can even get beautiful balloon clips to go with them. These can cost about $3.99 for an assorted pack of 144. They are also available in cute heart shaped patterns in myriad hues. You can also get them in the shape of cute bears and monsters for a little over $5. Depending on the size and material you opt for, they can cost up to $5.

The basic idea is that of a sand filled cup covered by colorful foil and ribbon. If you want to add more custom made material, your costs are likely to rise.

If this goes over your budget, make your own. This would require a cup filled with sand, dirt, air hardening clay etc. put the cup filled with any of these up side down, decorate it with colorful foil and ribbons, add a paper clip and you are done! The paper clip will act as a loop to hold the balloon strings.

If it is your kid’s birthday, get him to make his own weights. You can even paint them if you want.

If the amount is exceeding the budget, you can put some salt in a small bag and use it as a balloon weight.

One idea is to get nappy pads so as to use them as balloon weights if at all you want a considerable number of weights. These will cost you very less.

Character foil balloons are a great hit not only among the children but in the adults too! Since they represent your favourite character and are long lasting, you can also use them as party favors and keepsakes or keep them with you so as to make you remember the joyous occasion.

You can get the character foil balloons in every shape imaginable. Giraffe, dragons, animated characters, you name it and they have it!

These balloons can be moulded into almost any chape that is imaginable. They are also available in the shapes of famous movie stars.

In order to find the character balloon that is just right for you, know your budget and the theme of the party. For example, if your theme is Barbie, you can get the balloon in the shape of your kid’s favorite Barbie accessory or Barbie herself! These balloons are available for a wide range of budgets. You’ll get the smaller ones for around 1.80, while the larger ones may cost around 30. -if your kid is a cartoon fan, get him character balloons in the form of Shrek, the Disney characters or even Sponge Bob.

You can also add a personal touch to these character foil balloons by photo printing a special message on the balloons. Most stores will get you this facility.

Since these balloons are shipped in a deflated state, note that you should have an ample time to inflate them. Ensure that you do not inflate these balloons to the full if they are to be hung outside where the temperature is slightly higher as the air inside them will expand and will pop them. Even the character foil balloons, though durable, will lose their shine. So it is always said that you hang them inside the house.
