Is anyone else having one at their reception or been to a wedding where there was one? I love the look of them and was planning to have one tied to a beam above the dance floor so it can be popped towards the end of our first dance. They look so pretty and filled with confetti and smaller balloons, but I would like to know if they are really as good as they look. They sell DIY ones but baffled as to how you blow the small ones up and get them inside the big balloon?? I know I don't want to do it myself as I have a fear of them bursting when I hold them, lol, but quite happy to let someone else do it! Hope some of you girls can enlighten me! :D

I like it, just wondering how you are meant to burst it when it is quite high! Could always blue tak a pin to a long pole, lol.

they send you a little pin to you stick to something thatis long enough to reach over your heads to burst them

I saw 1 at a wedding show last week n decided I wanted 1. The lady said they usually tell ppl to just pop it manually but they can do detonators but a) they r expensive & b) sometimes unreliable. xxx

mine should arrive next week so i will look at instructions and let you know DIY one £4.99 of the fab bay of e lol

Aw fab twirler, that is where I saw it last night, lol. If it is simple enough then I will order mine too, though do balloons have an expiry date? I know that sounds daft but sometimes they go a bit tough after a while, lol.
You can get them without the confetti lainee, and just have them filled with smaller balloons, just as lovely! :)

Just something for you guys to think about before you get carried away with them..... Some venues don't allow anything to be attached to the ceilings so check with your venue to see if you can have them. If not you could always get a confetti canon or bubble machine etc.

Thanks ModMother, will check it out just now, and I have already checked XjoX and it is fine but even if it weren't you can get helium filled ones that you use a weight to hold down from the floor.
I am not fond of balloons that much either krisw86 but if I know it is about to pop I won't be so bad, think it would just be a nice touch to our dance and then all the kids can play with the little balloons! xx

I went to wedding last year that had one it was great and a really lovely finish to the last dance! xx

Im thinking of having one to, and going to put glitter in instead of confetti! They look really nice. x

Wouldn't you end up looking like Tinkerbell gone wrong covered in glitter? I like the flutter fetti that you can get as it takes its time to flutter down from the ceiling and looks really pretty.
