Can you answer iloveakatlanta’s question about Balloons?:
I’m getting married and the reception hall I’m using is charging $125 to do a balloon drop. It includes 100 ballons. Is this reasonable?
Yes, people do balloon drops for weddings. I have seen it done multiple times. They will be releasing the balloons as we walk in and they introduce us as Mr. and Mrs.

Feedback: Balloons are for birthdays…
Feedback: The price sounds fair, depending on where you are. I live in the Chicago area, and that sounds about right. 100 balloons may not be enough, unless they are just dropping them over the dance floor. Ask if they can do more, and if so, how much extra it will be.
Feedback: That is pretty reasonable and typical for a wedding price. Because they have to pay some one to set the whole thing up and then drop it. They are still making a pretty penny off of it. I would try to negotiate and see if they can at least take 10%off. Wedding prices are always negotiable. Good Luck!
Feedback: Well, I personally wouldn’t use the balloons because I feel like it makes it look more like a birthday party. I would suggest using rose petals since they are much more romantic.
But, if you want balloons it is your wedding. I am guessing that the balloons cannot be filled with helium (otherwise they wouldn’t drop)…so, unless they have to get these balloons up really high then I would say $125.00 for 100 balloons isn’t the greatest price. However, you need to consider the manual labor that goes into, who will be picking up the balloons, etc.
Feedback: Save the money for something a little more important, like flowers, or your cake.
Feedback: Sounds great actually! Hope it works out!
Feedback: Balloons for a wedding? I say scrach the whole idea. It sounds expensive to me
Feedback: I personally wouldn’t do balloons - they belong at kids parties… maybe a New Years eve dance club party - but not at a wedding.
However, if that’s what you want, I think the price is reasonable.
Good luck, and Congratulations!
Feedback: Spend more on classy decorations, like candles or flowers. Balloons are not formal enough for a wedding.
Feedback: thats expensive for a bunch of ballons if you ask me… this is for a wdding right? ballons are for birthday parties.. they are not formal enough for a wedding.. you guest will prob be like wtf are we 10?
Feedback: Sounds typical. I would put that money towards something else. It will be a pain when all the kids start popping them.
Feedback: their charging a dollar per balln pls 25 bucks for someone to pull the string. i say go with sparklers for all ur guests at the end it only costs about 50 bucks to get enough, plus it makes the pictures soooo beautful!
Feedback: Just make sure none of your guests has a latex allergy. I have a friend that is allergic to latex and it would kill her.
Feedback: That seems way too much but we plan to do a balloon drop as we do our first dance. This is one that we were looking at as an idea but my coordinator is going to find some netting and we will have lilac and silver balloons to drop since they are our colors. Good Luck and Congrats.
Feedback: Sounds reasonable to me as I work at a grocery store and we charge 99 cents per latex balloon by themselves so $25 for dropping them sounds very cheap.

I don’t know whether 100 will be enough. On all the pccasions I’ve been to where they’ve had a balloon drop, we’ve stamped on more than that in a few minutes! I would say you’d need about 300 to make it worthwhile.
