Here are 9 ideas for you to consider:
Event Roadside Markers
Create sets of 3 or 4 clusters tied together for the customer to use as road markers to lead guests to the party, then on the mailbox or front door to let people know they have arrived. Long ribbons make it extra festive.
Balloon Game Supplies
Double layer a balloon to give it extra weight, inflate and tie. Play Keep It In The Air. Each time a guest hits the balloon to keep it in the air it’s 1 point.
Water Balloon Supplies
For outdoor events, fill up the balloons with water and have a water balloon fight. Or, put hula hoops on the ground and toss the water balloons into circles. Each circle has a different value. Most points wins the game. No hula hoops? Use laundry baskets.
Balloon Pinata
Balloon piñata - Fill up a balloon with candy or small prizes and hang it up. Players take turns hitting the balloon until it pops, and everyone scrambles to collect the goodies.
Dart Balloon Game
Make your own dart and balloon game. Inflate balloons, tie, then staple the necks to a large board. Stand back a few feet and throw darts. Make it extra fun and put small prizes in the balloons.
Bop The Balloon Game
Do you have a racket or paddle? Double layer a balloon, inflate and tie. See how many times you can bounce the balloon on the racket or paddle without letting it fall to the ground.
Balloon Shot Put
If you have the space, have a balloon shot put contest. Using a water balloon, see who can shop put it the farthest.
Balloon Wall Stick
For indoor games, inflate and tie the balloons. Each person gets a balloon and rubs it on their clothing or hair. First one to generate enough static to make the balloon stick to a wall wins. Do it in the dark to see the sparks!
Water Balloon Toss Game
Water balloon toss. Guests are on teams of 2. They toss the balloon to each other, getting progressive farther apart. If the balloon falls to the ground or pops, they are out. Last team standing wins.
