For a balloon decor that is as simple as the banderitas type or popularly referred to by balloonist as Balloonderitas, a professional balloon decorator is almost not required. Do it your own and save money! You can use the extra fund for food or additional give aways.
To be able to save significantly, balloons must be purchased at wholesale price from Divisoria. There are plenty of stores at 168 Mall and Divisoria Mall. Personally, I prefer 168 Mall as it is more accessible if commuting and there is ample parking space if you dare drive to Divi.
A regular sized balloon costs about Php100 for 12 pcs in SM or National Bookstore, but you can purchase them for as low as Php200 for 100 pcs at 168 Mall. You'll be amazed at the selection of colors too, and the sizes. Mylar type balloons are also available.
A simple balloonderitas consisting of 100 pcs of balloons can cost anywhere from Php1500 - Php3000. If you have the energy and patience, you can do your own for a humble price of Php200-Php300 (materials only, including nylon strings).
Here's what I did for my son's birthday bash at Jollibee. I hanged 10 sets of cluster-of-4 balloons as added decor to our party (stage part only). I spent only Php70 (and a sore arm from inflating the balloons).
How to make a balloonderitas (with curled ribbons):
1. Inflate balloons and make sure the sizes are uniform.
2. Attach curled ribbons at the end of each balloon (where you knot the end of the balloon to close it off) either by tying the ribbons or by taping them using transparent tape (Scotch tape).
3. Using a Scotch tape (preferably at least 1/2 inch width), attach each balloons to the nylon string. Tip to secure the balloon on the nylon string: tape the nylon diagonal from the left and right (creating an "x").
4. Depends on how scattered you wish to decorate the balloons, a foot distance between each balloon should be fine.
How to make a cluster of 4 balloons:
1. Inflate balloons in uniform sizes.
2. Pair the balloons by tying 2 balloons together. Make several pairs.
3. Get 2 pairs of balloons and twist them together in the middle. You have now formed your cluster.
4. Tie a nylon string to the balloon (at the point where all 4 balloons are joined together) and hang as desired.
If you want a deviation from balloon decors, you can try tissue or paper pompoms.
Happy Partying!
