Tie this customized balloon onto the bride's chair or put it at the entrance of the party to greet guests upon arrival. Editor's note: The balloon arrives deflated, so you'll need to purchase a helium tank or have it inflated locally (at a grocery store or party supply store). The same balloon design is available in a small or medium size, which you can add to a centerpiece or gift box.

Tie these bright balloons anywhere you want to direct guests' attention: the DIY lemonade bar, the gift table or even the guest of honor's chair. Not only will these inflatables brighten up the room, they'll also provide a fun backdrop for photos. Choose from either the two mylar balloons, the three clear balloons or the entire kit.

This balloon arch is a statement addition to your lemon-themed bridal shower decor. All the balloons you'll need are included in the kit, but the reviews recommend that you might want to enlist at least one other person to help you inflate and hang them. Finish off your masterpiece with the included faux ivy garland, which adds a bit of rustic flair.
Whimsical Yellow Polka-Dot Balloons

Used on their own or with other inflatables (like giant lemon balloons), we love the whimsical look of these polka-dotted balloons. The set includes a gold balloon weight and a spool of white ribbon, so you won't need to worry about making another trip to the party store for extra supplies.
