We always use pre inflated balloons for our stage show.  We put them in a
big plastic bag, and on stage put that bag in a decorative holder.  Right
now we are using a pop up butterfly tube thing.  I don't know how to
describe it exactly, there  are a whole bunch of pop up castles and trucks
and other things and the kids can crawl through them.  They have a hole on
the top, so they are perfect to hold the balloons.  Also, after the stage
show we are usually mobbed with kids, so we do make up 100 or so pre twisted
balloons beforehand and include it in the price-- we call it a bonus balloon
give away.  What it does is take the kids into another area so that we can
pack up our stuff.   Our client has gotten more than they expected, we have
been more than fairly compensated, and most of all the children are happy.
I really don't think that there are any RULES in our business.  If the
customer is happy, the children are happy, and you feel like you have done a
good job and been paid what you want for it; then It was a successful show,
and if you pre made the balloons, or blew each one up on site, it really
doesn't matter.   Well anyway, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!  Sandi
