Party Decorations San Diego- Balloons On A Budget
These days money is tight for everyone
These days money is tight for everyone. But that doesnt mean that you cant still have fabulous dcor! Here are a few ways you can make the most of your budget to have an event to remember!
If you are hosting a lifecycle event, like a Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Quincenera, Anniversary or other such celebration, the most important area of the room is the dance floor. This is where all of the action should be. You want a lively dance floor that really shows people that the party is HERE! Even if the rest of your room is fairly bare, a great looking dance floor will really set the tone for the party.
A couple of notes on dance floors, personally, I think that the best dance floor style is an open canopy. This is made with four columns with four string of pearl arches going around. It really frames the dance floor and has an energetic presence.
You want to make sure that any dcor that you put on the dance floor is very stable. For this reason I discourage my clients from getting arches that are just anchored on the ground and not tied into columns. If Grandma is kicking up her heals, you want to make sure that there is nothing for her to trip over. Also, set the columns just off of the dance floor to maximize your dance floor real estate. If you want, you can even set the columns next to the DJ to make the area seem larger (and also more intimate) and to include the DJ into the frame.
For centerpieces, simple mirrors and votives will give a nice look. These can usually be provided by the venue without additional cost.
If youre having some other type of event, perhaps a birthday, or a home event where there is no room for a dance floor, or a silent auction, picnic, corporate event, etc. then you might want to consider a Guided DIY set-up. This has been one of our most popular options in this year. Talk to your balloon artist about their thoughts on it. Basically, we come and do a bulk balloon delivery. This means that we come and inflate lots of balloons and tie them to ribbons. To make it more manageable for the client, we usually put them in groups of 25- 50, on extra long ribbons, tethered to a chair or other fixture.
We then show the client how to cut the balloons away from the group, and give them a quick demonstration on how to properly arrange the balloons. Then the client and their friends (or volunteers, or whomever) provide the actual labor to arrange and place the balloons, cutting the costs way down.
Why is this better than just going to your local party store for a ton of balloons? Well, this way you wouldnt have to transport them, which can be a real headache when youre getting 100 balloons or more. The ribbons wont be tangled, and the balloons will be properly sized. Also, your balloon professional will know the best brand of balloons to use for your specific event. They may also be able to get you colors or styles that are not readily available at the local party store.
Why not just rent a helium tank and inflate your own balloons? Well, you certainly could, but a balloon professional with lots of experience will be able to do it much quicker than someone who is unfamiliar with the medium. Also, as above, the balloons will be good quality balloons and properly sized.
Something that is important to note, helium filled latex balloons have a life span of about 18- 24 hours. Thats if theyre quality balloons. Many of the brands used and sold by the party stores only have a life expectancy of around 8 10 hours. Recommended brands are Qualatex, Betallic, and Tuf-Tex (for outdoors).
In summary, just because youre partying on a budget doesnt mean that you cant do it with style!
