My friend is having her son christened on sunday she does not have much money?

Question

im going to be helping her with the buffet and balloons but she doesnt wanna spend money she hasnt got, does anyone have any smart ideas for weights for balloons. I was thinking tissue paper with sweets wrapped in or a kind of net could anybody help please.

Answer 1

Get a stone from the ground/garden and wrap it in foil or pretty paper, then tie the string or ribon from the balloon around it. The weight of the stone will stop the ballon from floating away - assuming that the balloon is filled with helium gas.  Problem solved.

Answer 2

the stone is a good idea from Kitty Katty, I was going to suggest a potato but a stone is less messy.

Answer 3

That is a Great idea, people do tend to have those.

You could also borrow some paperweights, there are many ways to weight down balloons, they are not all that heavy.

Good Luck
