Birthday Balloons Brigthen Up Any Birthday
By Slobodan Karabashev

Birthdays are times of celebrations and fun, and balloons are a
popular way of commemorating this. Since the 1970’s balloons
have been a symbolic way to signalling a celebration of some
kind, whether it is wedding balloons, birthday balloons, or more
general party balloons. There are the common plain balloons,
which usually come in multicoloured variety packs, there are
special balloons with the celebrated event on it, or there are
even balloons that you can buy from card shops already inflated
with helium. The latter are made of much stronger plastic than
normal balloons, and normally stay inflated for several days.

What kind of birthday balloons you buy depends upon you needs.
Helium-inflated birthday balloons make great birthday gifts, and
even a balloon covered in childish cartoon characters can touch
the heart of a young woman (provided there is also a larger
gift, of course). These kinds of birthday balloons can be quite
expensive, though, so they are better used as individual
presents, rather than as decorations for a party. Getting a
large amount of cheaper balloons is more practical for this
purpose.

If you are planning a birthday party, birthday balloons are
always appropriate. You can tie them to wall fittings in
bunches, and hang them from the backs of chairs. Air-inflated
balloons will hang downwards from the string, so you must take
that into account when arranging them. Balloons also look great
just scattered on the floor, and if you are renting a hall, then
you should consider inflating a hundred or so, and just letting
them bob against the chair and table legs. Be careful not to
step on them, as they certainly go off with a bang!

Balloons are very versatile, as you can not only use them as
wall decorations, but they can also be filled with helium, and
used as centrepieces. A few birthday balloons attached to the
table by a weighed object makes an attractive place marker, too.
You could also try and find a balloon sculptor, who can make
balloons into useful structures, including stands. The latter is
relatively uncomplicated, involving tying two balloons together,
and then crossing two more tied balloons over the top, and so on
until you have the complete structure. A couple of columns
(probably of plain, rather than ‘happy birthday’ balloons)
either side of the door, can provide an attractive entrance to
your celebration room. For more complicated structures, such as
balloons that form an arch across the ceiling, it is probably
better to involve a professional.

Whatever function you want your balloons to serve, they
symbolise a light and festive atmosphere. Try and pick
light-coloured balloons for your decorations, unless the
guest-of-honour prefers black or dark colours; in which case,
buy your birthday balloons from a specialist source, and use
sparingly in a mix with brighter colours.
