Instructions for Helium Balloon
Centerpiece
Balloons are an affordable and easy product to use to create centerpieces.
Select balloons and curling ribbon to match your theme colours. Inflate the
balloons (always use an odd number-3, 5, or 7) with helium and let the colorful
bouquets float above the table. Make sure the balloons float well above eye
level so guests can easily see each other across the table. Secure the balloons
by tying the ribbons to Balloon Weights, floral vases, upside -down top hats, or
other theme-related items.
If you prefer not to use helium, attach the balloons to balloon sticks and
holders and create a bouquet with balloons. Fill a simple vase, metallic tote
bag, or other colorful base with damp sand for weight and decorate with metallic shred, gemstones or brightly colored
tissue.
Here are some tips to help you with centerpieces
Vary the size
Vary the size and style of your centerpiece (vases, baskets, etc.). It
gives a much more interesting and unique look to the room and overall decor.
Be careful of tall centerpieces.
You want to make sure that they don't block the view of your guests or make it
difficult for them to converse with each other across the table.
Add sparkle to your table setting
Try sprinkling some glitter or confetti around the center of the table.
Don't choose flowers with a strong scent.
It can distract from the taste and enjoyment of the meal.
Make a small centerpiece look larger
Use a mirror.

Instead of table numbers on each of the tables, use a different type of
flower or balloons on each table to represent the table where your guests are to
sit. Create full centerpieces of only one particular flower, working within one
color family, and place them on each table. When creating your place cards,
write the type of flower in place of the table number. Hint: Use easily
recognizable flowers that most people will be familiar with.
