AKIO CRAFT 36 inch Glitter Gold Round Confetti Balloons Giant Clear Latex Helium Confetti Balloons Baby Shower Birthday Wedding Bridal Shower Engagement Favors Party Decorations

I purchased twice from this shop for a surprise 50th birthday dinner. The date of my party was November 25th and I made my first purchase in October and second purchase last week because I needed more of these type balloons. I gave my balloons to party city weeks prior to my event for them to blow up for me the morning of the party so my helium would last all day. My party started at 6pm and party city called me right before I came in to pick up the balloons and told me that the balloons were a poor quality or bad batch because the balloons could not hold helium. They were holing up and busting. The store was a complete mess with all those gold confetti everywhere. They said in all the years they've been blowing up balloons, they never saw such a thing. These 36" balloons were a big part of the party. I needed 8 of them and I only was able to use 2. I paid $7.99 times 8 for the helium to go into these balloons. So I had to end up getting 17 12" balloons and they scraped up the gold confetti and put it in the 12" clear balloons for me. So embarrassing and not what I wanted at all! The issue is I made two separate purchases about a month apart from each other and they both were terrible quality batches of balloons. Not acceptable and I'm pissed that I was not able to decorate my dessert table exactly as I envisioned.

Make sure to blow as much of your own air into it as possible before you add helium--this helps the confetti stick to the sides of the balloon. I liked them, but I still feel as if they had a balloon shape and were not perfectly round.

These looked really nice but they did take a lot of helium and two balloons burst without it being completely filled.

Do not buy! I took them to get blow up with helium and they had holes in them!

I would never buy these balloons again. I spent a lot of money to inflate with helium. For the babyshower, they did not stay up. I followed the instructions but it was not a good outcome. The confettis did not come as shown in the picture. I was very disappointed with the outcome.
