How Do You Plan A Small Balloon Release?
• The day before the event, go to a party store and rent a helium tank and a number of balloons. A good number for a small release is 25-100, depending on the number of people. You may want to get a specific number or color (see below). • Fill the balloons the day of the event, so the balloons will not deflate. • About a half-hour before the release, release one or two test balloons to check the wind direction. This will help you decide where to release from, so as not to hit any power lines or trees. • Give everyone at the party one balloon, or for a more powerful effect, a small bunch (3-5) balloons. • At the release place, count down to the release for a more dramatic effect. Let go! All the balloons will fly every which way with the wind, which looks fantastic.
