Wedding Favor Balloons

You’ve seen them before at Kiosks in the mall. Giant balloons that have teddy bears, roses, picture frames, trinkets, and confetti inside of them. How do they do it? They’re specialized balloons. They look great, they last longer than most balloons, and they’re perfect for your wedding favors!

Specialized balloons are unlike most balloons because they’re not helium inflated. What does this mean? This means that your guests can rest comfortably knowing that their wedding favor isn’t going to float away. Despite this, like any balloon, it can still pop! It’s important to keep balloons away from sharp objects at the wedding reception. Children can be supplied with their own little balloon with a surprise wedding favor inside!

What you decide to place inside your wedding favor balloon is entirely up to you. Perhaps you’d like to add a rose and a picture of you and your new spouse. You may even decide to write a handwritten message. Maybe not! Maybe you’d prefer to personalize the surface of each balloon with your names and wedding date. Now you may find yourself saying, “that’s sounds great, but how do my guests retrieve the wedding favor from the inside of the balloon?” Ah, retrieval of the wedding favor. Like any balloon, your customized wedding favor balloon will begin to deflate. Once this happens, your guests can pop the balloon for the contents inside. They can then take your photograph and rest it on a mantle and press the rose inside for a wedding favor keepsake.

Some of your guests may feel guilty popping the balloon. But the balloon will deflate, it’s inevitable. For those who wish to preserve their personalized wedding favor balloon, they can place a piece of clear tape on the surface and insert a pin into the tape. This will deflate the balloon, but prevent the balloon wedding favor from bursting. This is especially important if the contents inside the balloon are glass, such as a picture frame.

If your balloon wedding favor’s contents are glass, you should attach careful deflation instructions with each balloon. This will keep your guests from feeling guilty should anything break. It will also allow them to treasure their keepsake for a very long time. This wedding favor may be slightly costly, but it will be a smash! The reactions of your guests will make this a successful choice amongst other wedding favor ideas you may have pondered on.
