How to Use Balloons as Table Decorations

Balloons make great table decorations when filled with helium and suspended over the tables. But did you know that you can also use uninflated balloons as part of your table scheme? Here are a few ideas:

Use them as place card holders. Write each guest's name on a balloon and then place it at their seat. For something different, inflate a balloon and place a small piece of paper with the guest's name inside. Then tie a ribbon around the neck of the balloon and place it at each setting.

Use them as part of a centerpiece. Balloons are a great way to add height and color to a centerpiece. Use a variety of sizes and colors to create a unique look.

Use them to create a balloon garland. Balloon garlands are a great way to add a festive touch to any table. They are also surprisingly easy to make. Simply inflate a variety of balloons and then thread them through a long piece of string or ribbon. Hang the garland from the ceiling or drape it along the table. You can also use a balloon pump to inflate the balloons instead of blowing them up by mouth.
