The balloons should be used as decoration along with still others, birthday jewelry, otherwise the mE not quite act. The decor especially the birthday garland, the balloons and the rotor coils went down very well with the "affected" and the guests. Although the whole thing is to use no more but also no excessive money issue. Bargain hunters could cut the numbers of the garland and / or spirals, you could them again on another occasion hang (Carnival, New Year's Eve or the like) :-)
