Pinata Balloons from Nouwee

*Disclosure: I received a box of joy from Nouwee full of party supplies to review. This included the Pinata Balloons written about here. Thanks for giving me a great excuse for a party!*

And the crowd went wild!
That was the reaction to the piñata balloon bursting at my son’s 8th birthday party!

When we received a box of fun party supplies from Nouwee, a great Canadian company, I knew we had to save it for Thomas’ birthday party!

Here’s what the website says:

It’s while installing balloons for one of our events that we asked ourselves the following questions:
Why are we decorating if we’re going to take down those decorations in the hours that follow?
Is there a way to transform this into an activity that will create magical and memorable moments to share with our guests?

The Piñata Balloons were born! Half Balloon-Half Piñata, they are transparent balloons filled with confetti.

Not only does it create a Pinterest look to your decor, but your guests will have the chance to burst the balloons during your event, creating a cloud of colour that will slowly come down on everyone like small, colourful snowflakes.

Our Party

Before the party, I blew up the 4 pinata balloons, carefully, making sure they weren’t over 12” in diameter. The balloons even come with string so I could hang them from the chandelier over the table!

We then had 12 kids anxiously awaiting birthday cake and candles.

After singing “happy birthday” and blowing out the candles, we made sure the table was clear.
I grabbed the cardboard stars that I cut out from the inside of the box.

We used these to try to POP the balloons.

However, we couldn’t get the balloons to pop with these stars. Maybe I didn’t blow up the balloons enough – nervous I was going to blow them up too much!

That was ok, because we grabbed a pin and quickly let the birthday boy pop the balloons.

The kids loved the confetti flying from the ceiling! It was a very impressive display!

Then, the kids had fun playing with the fallen confetti afterwards, and we managed to confine it all to one room.
Don’t worry about the mess, a quick clean with the vacuum, and you’re done!
