Store-Bought vs. DIY Balloon Garland <\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThere are multiple options for putting together a balloon garland, and it's entirely up to you how hands-on you'd like to be. \"There are so many talented professionals who offer their services to create beautiful balloon garlands for parties,\" says Johnson. Often, these professional garlands include multiple colors and sizes of balloons, along with the addition of other elements such as florals or sprigs of greenery. Of course, that includes paying for an expert's time and materials. But it takes work off your plate, and most often, the pro will show up before your party to install the garland.\r\n\r\nUsing a kit from Etsy<\/a> or Amazon is another good choice. It's a cost-effective option, and it'll make the process of choosing colors and balloon sizes that much easier. This route does require a bit of advance planning to order the kit in time, as well as some crafting skills. Here are more beautiful store-bought party decorations<\/a>.\r\n\r\nOf course, you can dive in and DIY the entire balloon garland! This option is budget-friendly, as the materials are very affordable. \"You can even find everything you'll need at the dollar store,\" says Johnson.
