We're planning a small but special party for my daughter. We're going to have lots and lots of balloons and have them placed around the house. We're also going to hire a clown or a performer who can make balloon characters.

My problem is that many balloons may burst during the party and it could startle the kids and some adults. Please help

There are two things you need here:

1. Spend some quality money on balloons. The balloons that easily pop are the low quality ones. Talk to the party supplies provider about this as they can give you tips on which balloons to buy.

2. Look for a good balloon artist. You have to look for an established balloon artist for the party. Those who are just starting in this business can easily get stressed if they are the center of the party.

Let me add one more thing: party favors. Have a couple of deflated balloons or some small balloons the kids can bring home. Of course, this doesn't include the balloon they can bring home placed in your decorations.
