The balloons were a little tricky but I watched videos online. I stretched them a LOT and my balloons ended up pretty big. The garland light was a little hard to get on, I wish they included some of the sticky balloon adhesive to make the lights stick in place. Used them in a garland.

They are very pretty for the holiday season. Took me a little bit to put them together, I recommend using a pump to get air in the balloon. Balloon is really thick. Will not break.

I enjoyed this product. It is a good value for money. The balloons have good thickness which requires more effort to inflate than regular balloons. I used an air pump to inflate these. The lights comes with batteries and are easy to install. Overall, i loved the product!

Listen up party peeps! IGNORE FIRST STEP OF DIRECTIONS. You will never stretch them more than a tiny bit but no need to! :) I bought 2 boxes for a 50th bday and they were beautiful! You have to zoom in on pic, but I tied them with fishing line from various heights all throughout back yard. The pic is from the following evening without the other decor, but I wasn't in a hurry to get out all the ladders to clip the lines. Because of that, it's now 5 days later & still lit! Not only that, we've had extremely thick fog each night so they're soaking wet each morning, AND had a good rain 2 nights ago. Still lit! Few tips: 1) To stretch, put balloon on carpet, put your knee into center and just give a few good pulls all around balloon. 2) Give the "tie" part a few good tugs 3) Use inflatable mattress pump or something similar to inflate 4) Like a regular balloon, you have to just get past that initial tight part and then it WILL inflate. 5) tie VERY tight and make sure entire angled end of tie is through knot. 6) Since mine were up high, I used a little clear tape to hold fairy lights in place just in case. 7) No, they're not as "sparkly" as in ad, but still great!

They were so beautiful. Easy to inflate with an electric air pump. They look bunched up because it was windy, but still looked beautiful

We used these balloons in my wedding to make an arch for the send off. We let the kids have some before the send off and everyone loved them. The adults took as many home as the kids did!

The balloons are totally worth the price. Plan time to stretch and inflate them, it took us near 2 hours, but the effect was incredible. Then next day we untied and deflated them so we will be able to use them again. Even if they were not reusable they cost no more than a balloon bouquet purchased from a party store.

I was so very pleased I had two events and the balloons worked out so well I was able to use them for both and they were just as beautiful each time

Friends, at first I struggled to inflate these as so many of us have. Then inspiration struck. What you need is an air mattress inflator and a hairdryer! Stretch the balloon before you try to inflate. Then stick it onto the air mattress inflator and start it up. It will start to inflate, then stall because those things aren't very powerful. Turn your hair dryer on to the hot setting and blow that puppy on the balloon as you inflate. The heat from the hair dryer not only helps the balloon material stretch but warms the air inside, expanding it. Don't hold the hair dryer too close or stay in one spot too long or you run the risk of popping the balloon or making it misshapen. If you have a helper to do the hair dryer it's probably for the best, but I did it on my own. After adding the hair dryer I was able to blow the balloon up super fast. I left it up overnight as a test, then used some jeweler's pliers to untie my knot and save the balloon for reuse. I'm going to decorate with these for my wedding later this year. Also, you might want some clear tape on hand to secure the lights in place and to wrap around the end of the light string, which are sharp wire and might pop the balloon. I love the look and I'll be buying more. Hope this helps!

These are beautiful! The whole family loved tham as an extra little decoration on NYE. I found these very hard to stretch, so I actually didn't bother.... I used an electirc.balloon pump (pink and blue item in picture) that we keep on hand for parties and it blew them up in seconds, nice and evenly, without problem. Almost a week later they are still firm and beautiful. I, like another reviewer, am uncertain about how these are reusable, though. Material definitely is durable enough, but im not sure how easy it will be to untie the knots. The price.was.pretty reasonable, so I'm not going to worry about it, for now. Still hoping I can untie and reuse, though!
We did not try helium, but working with balloons a lot, I'd say this: in my opinion, the small helium tanks you can buy at party city or Walmart, etc, do not seem to be same quality that stores have to fulfill balloon orders. I don't think the small tanks would be able to make these float, but I suspect the larger commercial tanks could. We will try at some point, as we did not inflate all of ours for NYE. I'll try to remember to update the review with untying success or failure, and helium trials!
UPDATE: 2 weeks after inflating and these still look amazing. I took one down today and worked on untying it... it took me about 25 minutes before I decided to take the pliers out. with pliers I had both knots untied, and it appears stem of balloon is still okay, no holes from the pliers. Some jewelry pliers with no teeth might be the very best option. The hardest part about untying them is distinguishing between the two "loops of the knot to know where to pull! Ive added two pics after untying. I expect the balloon will shrink and become less wrinkly.

I would definitely buy these balloons again! They are not to hard to inflate using an inflatable device and they stayed inflated for days! They helped create the ambiance I was looking for for a party. They were a huge hit!

Can I first start off with to properly inflate these balloons you really need to stretch all sides. The ballon is pretty big and true to almost 24 inches. The settings on the LED are fast or slow flickering and no flickering. The picture included is how I want to set them up in a Sailor Moon Galaxy Quinceañera. The possibilities are endless to fill them and place other balloons in them. Plus you can re-use them! There are YouTube videos on how to use them in different ways if you are one to do many events. Very satisfied with the quality and the packaging.

I like how quick the item arrived, the packaging, and the detailed instruction that came on the packaging. I know that I wasn't going to be able to do this on my own so I contacted my favorite balloon shop whom I would have ordered them from if they sold them, and asked for help. I planned to order the colored bouquet to go around them so it didn't hurt to ask. I called and they were more than willing to assist but warned me that depending on the balloon some may pop but if I was okay with it they would do it. The first try a balloon did pop, I was okay with it because I didn't need to full pack for this event. The second time there was no problem and the second one he blew up just fine. They even placed the lights on and showed me how they worked. The balloons aren't the highest quality but the balloon desk said it was one of the better qualities they had seen for balloons like this. I had them up on Sunday and one of them just went low yesterday (Wednesday), the lights still last. I am happy about my purchase and have 9 more to use for future events.

The party balloon is tiny compared to pictures advertised and they are not round like a ball or proper balloon but flat and round, more like a disc shape. . Cannot use them for the party and be aware to check the diameter before buying. Very expensive for the size and very disappointing

Pro tip: You need to take the time to physically stretch each balloon out by hand before you inflate them- and I mean really stretch them in all directions or they won't inflate to the full 20 inch size. With that being said, these balloons inflate easily and are really strong and durable. The lights lasted the entire night and stayed just as bright as when I first turned them on. The light settings (solid, blinking, and fast blinking) were a nice touch also depending what party vibe you're looking for. Definitely recommend!!

Worked great and easy for me. I used an electric pump non helium. I tied the ends of mine tightly with small rubberbands because I may try to reuse them. They were the hit of the party, Each one takes about 5 min start to finish to blow up and get the lights wrapped. I tied them with clear stretchy jewelry wire and hung up in the trees. They were BEAUTIFUL and a huge hit.
