Will these balloons ruin my wedding?

[Plickers]

I am getting married in a historic, landmark in Aug. The venue has been quite strict on the things they will allow. It has been annoying at times but it’s a compromise we have to accept.

I want to add a fun element to the disco. I have found these balloons and think they are perfect. I showed the venue wedding coordinator and they said they’ve had bad experiences with balloons (wtf?) in the past so “they wouldn’t”. I feel this is overly dramatic. How hot can it get? It’s a medium sized period room (enough space for 85 people to dance).

The party room is going to be very low lit with up lights. I think the led balloons will be just right.

Do you think the venue is being ridiculous?

Don’t know, but it was a particularly nasty unnecessary comment, was your opinion that important?

Just another vote for "ugly AF and plastic waste is disgusting"

Op asked opinions, get off your high horse ..cheerio 🙋

They told me because of the heat. Like I have said multiple times

Byeeeee byeeeee don’t screeeem and screeeem on the way out!

Okay….i think you are projecting there slightly

But what do they mean? You need to check with them.

You seem to be being a little bit willfully obtuse about why people are saying "speak to the venue".

Their venue, their rules. Plus they look shit.

I think they are nice personally great for a disco

congrats on your upcoming wedding.

IMO all balloons are both tacky and a menace to the environment and should be banned.

They told me because of the heat. Like I have said multiple times

But what about the heat? What are they saying the problem will be precisely? They will explode? They will drop to the floor? What? "the heat" is very vague

Sorry that doesn't make sense, your not twelve what would balloons add to your wedding reception.
The venue said no.. accept their decision.

So ask what do they mean the heat but be prepared that you can’t have them

Just no need to be nasty for no reason.

We got these types of balloons once for a corporate party and had a nightmare with them. The weight of the lights stopped them floating properly. they just dropped after a few seconds. Perhaps we had dodgy helium but if you do go ahead, I would test first. It was winter we tried them, so imagine warmer time of year would make it worse potentially....

Maybe the venue is trying to establish itself as environmentally friendly

It is pretty shitty, environmentally.

Yeah I know about China etc. But I think we need to grow up and stop using balloons full stop.

I have read the opposing posts, doesn't make our participation ok.

This is something small we can do, unlike day to day stuff and flying abroad.

That looks beautiful! Very disco.

But why because of the heat? What did they say will happen?

I've got no opinion on the balloons but I am struck by how nasty and insulting some people are being over this.
It's like some of you are just waiting to strike out. Any reason will do.
Even balloons.

What the hell is this response for?

It’s like they have never heard of : different strokes for different folks

We wouldnt allow you to have them at our high celing venue.
UP they re not a problem, but getting them down at the end of the night is a nightmare.
YES they do have to come down that night- even one starting to deflate and descend overnight will set of a burglar alarm.

Every bride says ''no problem '' but com the end of the reception, she's not going to do it, and anyone who might ( Best man?) is usually too drunk

I hate helium balloons, had to deal with a horse that was put down as a result of panicking when a loose one landed in the field. Just horrific.
Why add to the mountain of indestructible plastic crap ruining our world?
Celebrate some other way. Please.

I love them! So cool! Never seen them before.
