Those large metallic Mylar number balloons are very trendy but can be pretty expensive. Create the same large-scale impact with regular balloons. Just tape them to the wall, using a single colour for more of a graphic punch. Scrunch up coffee filters (yep, coffee filters!) to look like flowers and fill in the gaps between the balloons.
Delight each guest with a personalized balloon, created by adhering big letter stickers to an oversized balloon. Bonus: The balloon can take the place of a loot bag.
Blow up some small balloons and tie each one to a long piece of ribbon. Slide them around to even it out. Adorable!
You can buy a kit, but they’re so expensive. To make confetti balloons yourself, buy some clear balloons and packs of confetti (or just chop up some tissue paper). Attach the end of a clear balloon to a funnel. Push the confetti into the balloon using a straw. Blow up the balloon as you normally would or take it to a party store to be filled with helium.
