Using these balloons is easy. You can fill them with helium, air, or even water. If you want them to float, use helium. Just make sure to inflate them close to your event time so they float for about 10 - 12 hours. If you use air, they won't float but will last 5 - 7 days. For a water - filled option, be careful not to overfill and handle them gently. When it comes to maintenance, keep them away from sharp objects to avoid popping. After use, you can deflate them and store them in a cool, dry place for future events.
