Happy Birthday Balloons, Aluminum Foil Banner Balloons for Birthday Party Decorations and Supplies (Red)

The media could not be loaded.  This banner was absolutely perfect and you can't beat that price! Super easy to blow up (you do have to use a straw which is not included) and they've stayed inflated for days now! We had my sons party last Sunday and it's now Wednesday and they haven't lost any air at all. The only thing is the string given to hand them is a little thin and flimsy but I didn't really mind bc it's almost invisible because of how thin it is. Would definitely buy again for more birthdays!

Excellent value! These looked great. I saw some bad reviews which made me a little hesitant but all my letters inflated easily and perfectly. There are no instructions and we didn’t initially understand where to stick the straw to inflate. I think many people who had trouble with the product simply didn’t find the proper pocket to insert the straw.So, finding the little round spot labeled “valve” is only half the solution to proper inflation. If you run your fingers along the valve hole you’ll notice there’s a tiny little “pocket” , it’s here you must insert the straw gently and it will slide down along a channel inside ballon. The problem is this little “pocket” is transparent and very difficult to see. Other brands have the pocket be red and it becomes quite easy to locate it. My best advice is to watch a YouTube video on how to insert and inflate these balloons, it’s what we did. You’ll discover that the pocket is always halfway or lower down the valve circle.Good luck. It was a great deal and we loved it. I understand it is also possible to deflate them via the straw and save for later use. We shall see if they survive storage.

Looks like the pic. Easy to use. Takes a little bit to blow up all the letters, but good product.

Awesome banner for your money! Just be careful when you stick the straw into the valve to put it into the actual clear valve or you can poke a hole in the balloon. It’s a little hard to find the valve at first but once you do you know what you’re looking for and it’s easy to find. If you push the straw through and feel like it’s not going through - don’t force it! - that’s not the valve and you’ll poke a hole. Learned that from previous balloons I bought online. Had no problems with these though. Definitely recommend! They looked great.

I bought this product, thinking that maybe there would be a mini straw in there for me to be able to blow up these balloons. I had to use my own plastic straw, but that ended up not working out so I didn’t even get to blow up the letters at all. I don’t know if it’s supposed to come with a plastic straw small enough to insert so I can blow it up, but I just ended up throwing them away. Maybe it was just my package that was missing the straw.

This looks very cute, now that I've finally figured it out. The orange option is not metallic as suggested, but just a thin plastic - not quite what I expected, but still fun and festive.The valves were driving me nuts until I read the Q&A hint about using a comb pick. Once I had discovered how to use that, it was easy. I had been shoving the straw behind the valve, over the entire valve, every which way but correct. I'm impressed that none of the balloons got punctured. They are stronger than they look!There is an insert that says "valve" and a little below that wording, OVER, the "valve" sign, there is a later of clear plastic - it's really hard to see. The straw is to be inserted between the clear plastic and the valve sign. Put a pick or skewer (carefully) in, to open the valve, then slot the straw alongside it - MUCH less frustrating. Continue to blow as you remove the straw, so no air escapes. Pinch the valve flat at the end to ensure a seal.You can actually reinsert the straw to deflate and use again if you want to. Keep the straw for next time.

perfect quality and the size for the price is amazing

Nice sturdy hold air well

Great! Exactly what we were looking for

We had trouble with the two H's and had to hang them up flat. It looked a bit odd.

cute for birthday photos

Exactly what I expected, did not come with string though.

Cool
