rubfac189pcs Rainbow Balloon Garland Arch Kit, 7 Assorted Colors 5/12/18 Inch Latex Balloons for Birthday Party Baby Shower Wedding Anniversary Decoration

We are rather seasoned with making our own balloon arches. Every year we have one with great success. To the point that I have given away our balloon arches to others for free to use for their own parties which will then withstand another week or so for the next party….These balloons? Suck. More then 50 balloons popped while attempting to inflate them, and we are mindful to not overfill (because duh). Then, when we were assembling another 20-30 popped. Literally the worst quality balloons I have ever purchased from Amazon. I will NEVER purchase from this brand again. Losing 80 balloons out of 189 balloons is a little over 40% of the balloons advertised.Do yourself a favor and buy from another brand so you can at least have a functional balloon arch.

Being my first ever attempt at a ballon arch - it took me a while to inflate the balloons with an electric inflator and tie the balloons (ouch! The hardest part!). But beside that it was so easy to assemble 2 beautiful rainbow arches! I was running out of time and working alone so honestly I did not get to use any of the tiny balloons to fill gaps but it still looked sooooo good!!! I watched YouTube videos after I ordered this and thought I made a mistake by getting this pack bc the professionals on the videos did not use a strip to attach the balloons but I had already gotten this kit and it was the evening before the party so I used it and I must say it looked great!! Warning though - once you attach the balloons to the strip you can’t move the arch around too much or the balloons will pop off. I put the arches up in my house after my sons party and 2 months later a few of the balloons have shriveled but most of the arch is still intact! It still looks good! I can’t believe it has lasted this long.

We went with a rainbow/paint palette them for his birthday and he loved it. He really liked popping them! It took a couple of hours the night before his party to blow them up. We don't have an electric balloon pump or anything. Pretty easy to get through the arch ribbon thing. I didn't bother with gluing smaller balloons in because I thought it looked full enough. We have quite a lot of smaller balloons left too. I'm sure we'd have paid a lot for one done professionally so no complaints!

I am experienced with working balloons and these balloons were the worst! Literally over half of the balloons popped! They popped when I tried to inflate them and they even popped while they were in the balloon arch! I didn’t over inflate or treat them any differently than any other balloons I have used. In the photo above it shows what didn’t pop of the purple balloons 9 out of the 21 I was sent and look at all the purple ones that popped on the arch! Total garage!
