RUBFAC Mermaid Balloon Garland Kit, Mermaid Tail Arch Party Supplies with Purple Green Confetti Balloons for Mermaid Birthday Party Decorations

I loved the way this looked with all the other mermaid decor. The only annoying thing was that the foil star balloons did not hold air for more than a second. Luckily the fin tail foil balloons held up! The stars looked deflated the entire party but overall it was ok and the bold colors really popped. Also, I am thinking we may have been missing a bag of balloons bc we had a bag of black balloons in there for some reason.

It was amazing for our pictures! The tail pieces were REALLy hard to inflate though. Also, it took me a second to realize all the balloons were different sizes, so I popped a few. That’s on me. Other than the weird tail end pieces, everything was perfect.

The colors are beautiful! They looked great and went with the theme I had in mind. What I didn’t like is there were no instructions how to arrange them. It comes with a plastic strip type thing that allows you to slip in the balloons but no instructions how to put them together in the shape of a mermaid. We did our own by tying balloons together on some rope. I recommend finding some videos how to do it first before you buy! Other than that, the no other complains!

This balloon arch turned out so cute!! The hardest part was tying the balloons together - using string/fishing line to connect them all together worked better than using the plastic strip, in my opinion.

After reading the reviews and seeing the price, I decided I would try this out for my sister’s mermaid themed party. I personally think the assembly was fun but keeping it held up was the most difficult part for us since the arch can’t be held up with just tape or the glue stickers that come with the kit. We ended using twine to help hold it up and a chair to hold one end up. In total, it took us about 2-3 hours to set up. This may sound daunting but it actually went by quickly since we were talking and listening to music. We had one person blow up the balloons with a handheld balloon pump (highly recommended, you will get tired if you try to blow this up on your own) and one person arrange the balloons. We alternated putting balloons on each side of the garland. If you blow up the balloons too big, don’t worry. You can add in a smaller sized balloon to fill in the space. Overall it was a great first experience building a balloon arch and it got lots of compliments! I would definitely purchase this again if I ever help with another mermaid themed party :)

Will buy again

This was well worth the price and effort. We have a hand balloon pump which worked great. I would not recommend trying to blow all the balloons up by mouth. Once I got going assembly was easy. I assembled it over the 2 days before the party and it looked amazing the day of. We left it on the fence and by the next day (in 90 degree heat) all the balloons had either popped or deflated, so dont put it outside in advance. It did make it easy to take down though.

This went perfect with the mermaid theme baby shower. It matched my other decor perfect! I had 5 people and it took us close to 2 hours to put together. It comes with no hardware to hang it up. So I used 3M hooks & duct tape. It held up all night & all day no problem. I was able to hide the duct tape with balloons. Everyone loved it at the party. I even added a bubble machine in the floor that made it extra cute with bubbles! Would definitely buy again even if it is time consuming. Great product!!

Love the colors and how easy it was to set up. Definitely recommend getting a pump to blow up all the balloons

The balloons were great quality, but the directions were pretty terrible. We ended up using the balloons in a different way because we couldnt figure out the directions.
