12-Pack Dove Balloons Memorial Release in Sky, Biodegradable White Angel Lanterns Funeral Party Decorations for Loss of Loved One, Celebration of Life Favors, Happy Birthday in Heaven RIP Supplies

Wonderful and unique

Use them for my mom’s memorial every year

I was very excited to use these dove balloons for my grandmother’s memorial and had high hopes for a beautiful release ceremony. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the experience.I followed the instructions and used a helium tank purchased at Target, but the balloons didn’t stay in the air for more than a few minutes—they fell to the ground almost immediately after inflation. Once we stepped outside, it became clear that the release ceremony I had planned was not going to be possible.In the end, I had to remove the stick on dove's tail and simply hover the balloon near the ground to try and mimic the release. It was very sad and disheartening, especially because this moment was meant to honor a loved one. I really wanted it to be perfect for her.I hope you’ll take this feedback seriously. It’s upsetting to have something so symbolic fall short at such an emotional time.

The media could not be loaded. I bought these for a celebration of life on my grandfathers passing and it made saying goodbye to him all the more special. Everyone let them go with a prayer/words of love and they floated away. One thing I would recommend is to not put the tail it comes with because it does weigh them down, we decided to not put them and they floated nicely.

The media could not be loaded. I don’t normally write reviews but I purchase a lot on Amazon.. I was apprehensive on buying these because there’s a lot of hit/miss reviews but I took a chance on them given the circumstances I needed them for and I’m so glad I did!!! For starters, the doves are huge so expect that! I got them inflated with helium at party city and I was persistent with them to inflate them as much as they can and I also didn’t attach the tails on mine. To be honest they looked very beautiful and dove like without them. I’ve seen a review where some said the tails weighed them down, as to why I chose to opt out of including them. They stayed inflated for about 5 hours until we released them and I’d say about only 2-3 we’re starting to deflate BUT still floated and went off with the rest.. I’d say if you really want them, give it a shot and- don’t attach tails- over inflate with helium (at a party city, no at home helium)- store them in a cool dry roomCons:It is costly if that’s a factor, at my local party city it goes by sizing so each dove cost about $10/dove

These are great for a remembrance balloon release. I got them aired up at party city and had no problem with them floating. Upon release they drifted kind of low before taking off and floating up so make sure you have a large clear area. They didn’t come with instructions and the tails do not air up and need to be attached separately with the glue dots they provided. Would recommend and use again in the future for other events

These were for a memorial and they did not disappoint. I did have a store put helium in them and it is pretty expensive $91.00 for the 12. Make sure you have enough room in your car for them and have them bagged if traveling with them. Release them away from trees and power lines. We had no problems with the balloons.

So, I read a lot of reviews and took a chance. I saw some that suggested having them filled at Party City (or somewhere similar) but that wasn't in the budget. My family opted to buy a tank to fill them. They are very hit or miss. Out of the 8 that we used, only about 2 of them actually made it quickly. The others followed very slowly behind, not sure if some of them made it very far before falling. They do not hold up well if you're trying to do a balloon release as we did. They are VERY large. The 2 that made it fully up in the sky were great. I'd just say if you do get them definitely expect to not have a full flock flying in the sky, it's not happening lol They are very large as I stated and have lots of room for writing messages with a sharpie if you'd like though. It was still a nice way to say Happy Birthday in Heaven to my son. I have another pack ( since I bought two just in case) so maybe next year we can try again or even utilize them for a balloon arch or something that doesn't require helium filling. I do like that they are biodegradable though and balloon releases are banned here because of the litter of reg balloons so it was a good option in that regard. I think the material they are made of is just too heavy for them to "fly" very well.
