4 Unique and Fun Uses for Balloons for Your Event

Everyone knows that balloons are synonymous with parties; from being young and attending your fellow classmates’ birthday parties to being a full grown adult who can’t resist batting a balloon around the room, they are a lot of fun and we don’t think parties are truly parties without them!

However, there’s more to the simple balloon than meets the eye –  aside from being fun to play around with, they can also be extremely useful and attractive features! Want to know more? Then read on!

Balloons and Confetti

Is it really a wedding if you don’t get confetti thrown at you? This long standing wedding tradition is something that many people expect when they attend a wedding, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself showered in confetti as you walk down the aisle!

If this is something that you don’t mind – or even actively encourage your guests to do – why not provide them with the means to cover you in glitter or other types of confetti by having balloons filled with helium attached to the aisle of each row of seats and instruct them to pop them as you walk past? It’s a fun way to make your guests feel like they are involved, and it’s a unique idea, too!

Glow In the Dark Features

It might not be Halloween just yet, but some of you may already be planning a spooky party for when it rolls around at the end of October.

Instead of paying over the odds for expensive creepy lighting options, why not place a small glow stick in a balloon and fill it up? This creates a cheap yet effective creepy glow which can be a great option for those looking to Halloween on a budget!

Balloon Place Holders

Place holders are important at many events, but more so at weddings! Your guests need to know where they have been allocated to sit, and although there are so many different methods floating around which all claim to be the best, we think that you can’t go wrong with a party balloon!

Not only will they be able to see almost instantly where they are to sit if you write their name directly on the balloon, you’ll give them something to take home to remind them of your wedding day, too! You could even get the balloons personalised to have details of your big day on there to make it extra special!

Balloon Art Gallery

If you’re planning on having some sort of gallery at your event – whether it’s a timeline of your life or simply a few snaps that you’d love your guests to see – it can often be hard to decide how to display them.

Instead, why not print out smaller copies (but not too small that the pictures are distorted) and attach each one to the bottom of a helium balloon’s ribbon? This makes an attractive feature at your event which your guests will love – it beats printing them and sticking them on plain blank card, right?
