Helium for balloons? Does it make sense?

🎈 Helium or air for balloons? 🎈
Planning a children's party and wondering what to inflate the balloons with? Let's quickly summarize.👇
✨ Helium – when and why?
* Balloons float beautifully in the air
* Create a WOW effect for kids and photos
* * Great for centerpieces, numbers, banners, and garlands hanging from the ceiling
*
⚠️ But beware:
– Lasts a shorter time (approx. 8–12 hours for classic latex balloons)
– Easily fly away outdoors if not tied down
– Slightly more expensive than air

💨 Air – when is it worth it?
* Ideal for balloon garlands, walls, arches, and ground decorations
* Long-lasting (several days to weeks)
* * No risk of flying away

🔸 MOM'S TIP:
Combine! Air for garlands, helium for a few show-stopping balloons – ideally with a weight. And if you're celebrating outdoors, always tie down helium balloons (or fix them to a weight).
Do you prefer balloons that float, or ones that form ground decorations? 🎈👇
