Balloon Brights Party Decorations

Balloon Brights Birthday Party Decorations, Supplies and Party Ideas

• Get your balloon brights birthday party started right with big, colorful balloon invitations. Choose from our selection or make your own with colorful papers, stickers, confetti, and glitter. Attach an un-inflated balloon to the card. Or have the party details printed on the balloon. Guests will have to blow up the balloon to read it!
• For a fun spin on nametags, use balloons! Inflate a balloon for each guest and tie with a ribbon. Write each guest’s name with a thick permanent marker across the balloon. When each guest arrives, tie their balloon to their wrist or pin to their back so that it floats above their head.
• Have balloons printed with the name of the guest of honor, their age (50!) and the date of the party. This gives a personalized feel and is a fun favor to send home with your guests.
• To match your menu to the balloon brights theme, fun, multi-colored food should definitely take center stage. Vibrant, fresh fruit salads and veggie trays, colorful pasta salads, and brightly hued side dishes will be the best complement to your theme. Consider ethnic cuisines such as Mexican or Indian—both are known for being robust in color and flavor.
• For dessert, you can actually carry the balloons right into the kitchen to help you pull off this crowd-wowing recipe. Make chocolate cups for holding fruit and ice cream sundaes! Blow up a balloon until the round end is the size of the inside of a small bowl and knot the balloon (it will be much smaller than one you would use for decorating). You will need to make as many balloon molds as you have guests. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. When the chocolate is melted, dip the wide bulb of the balloon into the chocolate until it is well-covered and the balloon appears to be sitting in a bowl of chocolate (you will dip about halfway up the side of the balloon). Set the dipped balloon (chocolate end down and knotted end up) on a piece of waxed or parchment paper spread out on a large surface. Dip each of the balloons and allow the chocolate to dry and harden. When the balloon bowls have set, pop the balloons and peel our off the chocolate shells. The shells can now hold ice cream and fruit for dessert. Let guests build their own sundaes. Another dessert idea is a cake or cupcakes decorated with big colorful frosting balloons. This whimsical design is sure to take guests back to their childhood!
• Don’t send your guests home empty handed—adults love party favors too! Fill a balloon brights treat bag with mini balloon-shaped cookies or other bright candies like jelly beans or brightly colored M&Ms.
