Tips & Warnings
If your home has a high ceiling, cut the lengths of ribbons longer so that they dangle down to guest height.
Get party guests into the action; let each one blow up a balloon and place it into the pool.
Balloons that aren't blown up and pieces of popped balloons pose choking hazards to young children. Supervise children carefully when they are within reach of balloons.
