As a parent you will have lots of reasons to celebrate and with those celebrations comes a lot of expectations. No matter what the party is, it is expected that a party is creatively planned, well decorated, and full of activities for both children and adults. And that says nothing of the food and beverages. All of that can become very overwhelming for parents. One way to reduce your party planning stress level is to make decor as cheap and painless as possible. Balloons are a great way to create eye-catching decorations with very little investment.

Latex Balloons

Latex balloons are pretty easy to find. You can buy balloons online or at your local party store. You will be able to find them in a variety of colors and sizes and from there you can let your imagination run wild. Latex balloons are also environmentally friendly, when produced and disposed of properly. Latex can be harvested without destroying any rubber trees, which helps to slow deforestation.

With some string, tape, and an air pump, latex balloons can be made designed for a variety of decorations. You can tape the balloons to a wall to create a picture backdrop, or tie them together and string them across the ceiling like streamers. For more advanced crafters, balloons can be made into archways or cakes. Air filled balloons are a great and unexpected way to add pizzazz to your party.

Foil Balloons

Foil balloons are a great way to make a dazzling floating centerpiece on guests or buffet tables. Large foil number balloons are a great way to commemorate a milestone birthday or a graduation year. The large numbers are easy to spot, so they are a great way to mark the entrance to the party parking lot or entryway. The foil numbers can also be blown up and hung from the ceiling or taped to a door.

No matter what the occasion, balloons can be a fun and unexpected addition to your decor. They are even more ideal if you are more of a DIY person and is looking for a new craft to explore. Just remember when you go to buy balloons, also buy an air pump.
