Rose Gold 40 Number Balloons Big Giant Jumbo Large Number 40 Foil Mylar Balloons for Women 40th Birthday Party Anniversary Decorations

My only issue was that I did not think about how I would get them blew up. No one in my area would do it since it was not purchased in their store so we used our air mattress pump and hung them from the ceiling. Wallah 😜😜

The 3 had a hole in it that we patched up with tape. The “1” was great and lasted all night. They looked good for about an hour and then the 3 just burst open right before my daughters party even started which then made the balloon columns I built fall apart so i had to try and replace the “1” and “3” balloons on top with some plain latex balloons. My advice is to buy your balloons from a local party store and have them blow them up for you that way this doesn’t happen to you.

With an electric pump and the straw that came with, I was able to blow up these balloons. It was difficult at first but once air started going in, it took about 20 seconds to fill with air. We tied the numbers together using the tie holes on the balloon. Don’t pull to right with the string though. The loops tore and we ended up having to stick the balloons together using double sided tape. It worked though and the balloons looked amazing with the arch.

I got these for my wife's surprise 50th. Came with no instructions, but did come with a little tube. Well I googled it up and didn't find anything with a valve that these balloons had. So I proceeded carefully. There was and obvious hole that I thought the straw should go in. But this wasn't going very easy. I knew which direction the straw needed to go, but it wasn't cooperating. At one point I punctured it through the other side. Not a big deal as I wasn't through the valve yet anyway. I did eventually get the tube through the valve on one balloon, inflated it, withdrew the tube and pressed it closed. So I had one more to go, or in this case not go. The second balloons valve would not allow the tube to pass. I punctured it in several places. I just sealed the holes with tape and inflated through one of the holes, end of story. I don't think I'll go this way again.

I took these to a local shop to have them inflated. They also strung them and put on balloon weights (which I highly recommend). The balloons themselves are a good size and lasted over 2 weeks before losing their air. We used a small piece of tape to keep them together since the party was outside and there was a breeze. If you were using them inside, I don't think that would be necessary.

Thought I would save some money by purchasing these balloons instead of at the store.. wrong! The number 8 wasn’t attached correctly and could not be put together long enough to even get pictures. The number 1 had multiple holes throughout so therefore was a big bust!Amazon was great and returned these with full refund - just sucks we couldn’t use them as planned and had to resort to locating a party store to buy balloons last minute.

The 3 was great but the 0 not so much. The valve to put the straw in was ripping no matter how gentle I pushed it in. Finally got it through and blew it up but I had to tape the valve after blowing up bc there was so many little holes. It did not last more than 10 minutes before it was deflated. Maybe someone else’s won’t be as bad as mine but I definitely wouldn’t buy again.

So my husband is celebrating his 30th birthday in quarantine. Not the best situation in the first place. We also had a baby just a week ago which has been the best experience of our lives but found out he has a chronic illness which really rocked out world. I wanted to show my husband how much I appreciate him and all his support through these crazy times and ordered these balloons as part of a surprise for him. I went to the store to have them inflated, brought them home in a large plastic bag and when I revealed them to my husband it was a 38 instead of a 30. While I realize this is no big deal, after the week we have had and the emotional roller coaster we have been on I just broke down and cried. Moral of the story, even if they are packaged and labeled as a 30, open them and double check to avoid having the wrong number the day of...
