Every shade of pink, one hundred and fifty balloons deep. This kit builds the backdrop that every photo from the party ends up in front of.
The balloons arrive in three sizes, 18 inch, 12 inch, and 5 inch, in coordinated pink tones that range from pale blush to deep rose. Mixing the sizes is what gives a garland its depth, and the small ones exist to tuck into the gaps so the connector strip disappears. The kit includes that strip, glue dots, twelve rubber bands, and a straw, so nothing else is required beyond an hour and a friend.
It works for a first birthday, a baby shower, a bachelorette weekend, or a Galentine's brunch, and it scales up or down depending on how much of the strip you use.
Can you make a balloon garland the night before? Yes. Air filled latex balloons hold their shape for two to three days indoors, so assembling the night before is standard practice. Keep the finished garland out of direct sun and away from heat, which is what causes early deflation.
