Children usually enjoy these objects and twisted ones are quite a favorite. These are not just spherical but are twisted into various shapes like snakes, animal faces etc. adding a fun element to them. Balloons are also in various shapes including hearts, stars, moons etc. so that they can make an unending collage in the living rooms. They are also tied and twisted to give different shapes. Fire balloons and ones that support a cause or even those that support their favorite teams in MLB or NBA are all very popular.

Party Decorations - Balloons - How to Avoid Common Mistakes

In the 18 years that I have been in business, I've had an opportunity to observe many event and party decorations. There are several very common mistakes that surface again and again. This is especially distressing since money, time and effort are invested, but the result - excellent decoration - is not achieved.

Generally speaking, when you plan a party, you should do so keeping your hall or room in mind. This sounds trivial, but you'd be surprised how many times this rule is violated, and yet the same event will require entirely different decorations in two different rooms.

PARTY DECORATIONS

Another thing to keep in mind: we work with human perception, not with the physical size of the space.

Here are some major points that require attention when you decide on how to decorate party:

1. Height of the ceiling.

A common mistake in the room with a low ceiling (say 8') is to use decorations that "hit" the ceiling or that are too bulky. These balloon decorations will take visual space (even if they do not physically take too much) and will make you and your guests feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable.

For instance, if you have a large bulky balloon arch at the entrance, many guests will feel that they have to bend their head, even if they are less than 6 feet high.

If you use balloon centerpieces with large (3-foot) balloons at your tables, in a room with a low ceiling they will have to be too low and will feel oppressive and overdone.

On the contrary, if you use balloon columns (especially, the narrow ones) at the door - they will add height and elegance to the entrance, making both it and the room look taller.

Similarly, if you use slim, upward-reaching centerpieces at your tables, they will create an illusion of an "unreachable" ceiling, uplifting the entire room.

In the room with a high ceiling or one that is too large there are other constraints - you don't want your guests to feel lost in a vast space. You might consider bringing the ceiling down visually by using, for example, a balloon dome or a balloon fountain and to make the room more cozy by adding larger structures (larger balloon arches, balloon walls, etc.).

You can also "shrink" the space by adding structures along the walls but closer to the center - visually making the center smaller and creating an "aisle" along the walls.

2. Colors in the room.

I hear this almost every day: "My colors are gold and white; I want gold and white balloon decorations." Then we get to the room and I see a lot of white ceiling, pale walls and a light floor where white balloons will almost melt into the background and the golden ones will be hardly more noticeable than white. It is even worse, if the room is a white tent.

The first thing that comes to mind, of course, is - choose your colors after you choose the room. This is not always possible, but consider adding or taking away a color to harmonize the colors of the room and the colors of your wedding (baby blue walls will clash with burgundy dresses, but you might be able to introduce a mauve in the decorations to blend them).

3. Small decorations in big room.

As I mentioned earlier, we work with human perception. If you have a party in a very large room or outside, your decorations (balloon decorations or any other type) are competing for attention with other objects in the space.

In a large room it could be a stage, a big banner or elaborate chandeliers. Outside - it will be trees, house, and clouds. So whatever you plan, your decorations should be large, colorful, and juicy or you will be the only one to know that they are there.

For example, small, very detailed centerpieces for a party of 2000 people in a huge gym - is a waste of money. Yes, they are nice, well themed, but how much attention do they get?

By the same token, if for such a party, you plan a huge balloon sculpture, do not waste money on printing your logo on every balloon. Nobody will notice.

First and foremost hang balloons to your mailbox to spot the party place; place them as a decoration at the door; or you may even tie them to the birthday child's chair to mark the seat of honor. For an additional unique touch, make a balloon arch by filling balloons with helium, attach them (several inches apart) to a long piece of curling ribbon and fix the ends to the floor next to the doorway.

Hanging balloons in bunches is one of the best idea to create best effect. If you have a plan to fill balloons with helium, wait until the party day so that it floats well. Attaching balloons to light fixtures and hanging them in doorways or anywhere that impress the crowd is a brilliant idea. Use colorful curling ribbon to tie balloons together, and curl the ends by pulling the ribbon among your thumb and blade of scissors.

Helium-filled balloons decorations

A simple table decoration is quite simple to make with helium balloons, moreover all latex or a combination of Mylar and latex. Anchor the group to the table with a safety pin in the cloth or with a small wooden block enclosed in decorative paper. Do not forget that latex helium balloons stay floating for just about eight hours. So do this on the day of the party.

For all these decorations it is most excellent if all the balloons are of the same size. To attain this cut out a cardboard pattern and check the size every time you blow up a balloon.

By using your fishing line and paperclips you could move on to the twirl arch. This is made of groups of four helium balloons fixed firmly together by paperclips and threaded onto the line like pearls on any necklace. You would require heavy weights wrapped in paper to safe each end of the arch. Try using a five liter plastic bottle filled with sand.
