Birthday party July 11th

[Jolly Well]

Pretty much Qualatex or Bellatex are going to be your best bet in buying balloons - They are the current standard.

As for telling a kid no - it's just that. Explain to them that they can only have one balloon or you wont have enough balloons to make everyone a balloon creation.

Pops are a different story on occassion. If they are intentionally popping balloons then they absolutely get no more balloons. If, on the other hand, they get a bad break and the balloon pops - I'll either repair it or replace it if I can.

WOOHOO!!! You go, CheckerZ!!! Congrats on a successful party.

I agree that kids who accidentally pop their balloons should get a replacement. Often the balloons pop if they touch the grass. If it's an outdoor party and that's what happened, maybe suggest that they try a balloon hat that won't fall to the ground or a parrot that can rest on their shoulder.

congrats on the party

as far as balloons go, same here, I ususally tell them only one balloon, esp. if they pop it. But if its's accident I fix it or do a new one.

I will replace a popped balloon after everyone has had one. But I replace it with the same thing they had before. They are cagey enough to pop it to get a different one if they see one they like better. That does not work for me. Most the time it just popped. I say it was under warrenty.
