LED balloon bouquets create ethereal atmosphere at evening events. Soft glow within translucent balloons transforms any space after sunset.

LED Options

Balloon Discs ($0.50-$1 each)

Small disc LEDs with pull-tab activation. 8-12 hour battery life. Single colors or color-changing. Buy packs of 50-100.

String Light Insertion

3. Inflate with air (helium for floating)
4. Tie to curling ribbon
5. Attach 3-5 to balloon weight at varying heights
6. Cluster at centers, entrance, or dance floor

Best Colors for LEDs

• White: Brightest, most even glow
• Pearl/iridescent: Shimmer with color shifts
• Pastels: Soft romantic glow
• Clear: Point-of-light effect, best with strings

Safety

Battery-powered LEDs only. Keep from open flames. Minimal heat, safe in latex for party duration. Dispose batteries responsibly.
