Balloon Fabulous Wedding

When it comes to Balloons and Weddings, most people imagine white balloon arches with tulle and twinkle lights. But it can be so much more playful and glamourous than that! Not only are balloons extremely affordable but they pack a lot of punch. First pick a color scheme. My favorites are Playful Rainbow, Classic White or Elegant Red.

Here's a bit of inspiration for a fun balloon filled wedding day:

A handfull of colorful rounds, or two large red ones, make a great photo prop:

FPO designed these awesome balloon 'Save the Date' cards.

You can save money by custom printing the balloons

and home printing your own cards:

The Outcome. Add a few darts and have guests pop balloons

when they've found their seats tuck a lightweight prize inside like a paper fortune!

Punch balloons and balloon car racers make great favors for the kids at your wedding.

It will keep them entertained too. And of course, a Balloon Artist can make custom balloon sculptures for guests young and old:

Good Byes

This week was full of good-byes. I wished my current day care kids good bye as I head off to another preschool on the other side of town. I brought cupcakes, as is customary for all events at a daycare, but the kids were even more happy with their personalized balloon sculptures on a stick that they got to take home as a gift from me:

Here they are all hung up on their coat hooks. Too cute huh?

Bye Townview Montessori! I will miss you all!

I also wished another friend good-bye as she parted for Spain for the summer. She's an awesome World Languages teacher and she's hoping to firm up her Spanish with a couple of months abroad.

I made her a going away gift too. Her's was a bull and a Spanish guitar on a base of the colors of Spain's flag. Rising above is a little airplane with "Bon Voyage" on the tail. It was a big hit with the little ones at her going away party. But despite all the handling, it held up well!

Good Luck Elissa and take lots of pictures!!

Balloon Deliveries

For Mother's Day, I practiced my balloon bouquets and delivered them to some of my favorite moms, including of course, my own! Here's a picture of the backseat of my car before I started delivering them:

Everyone really seemed to enjoy them, especially my boss. Since she wasn't home when I stopped by, I slipped it between her side door and the screen door. She didn't find it till a day later and it held up perfectly! Thanks ladies for letting me visit, I had a great day and I hope you did too!

Balloon Deliveries- For big impact on a little budget, try balloon deliveries!
