In warm weather, latex balloons will typically only last outside for a day. As you know, sun, wind and heat will biodegrade the latex. With that said, however, there are tricks you can do to raise your odds of getting them to last more than a day outside.

Use only high quality balloons because quality makes a huge difference.

Avoid using latex balloons whenever possible. After a few days outside, we have seen them completely disintegrate when touched.

Always underinflate to allow balloons to expand when absorbing heat. We've found the method that works best is to over-inflate the balloon and then release air until the balloon is slightly underinflated. This helps the balloon to breathe and expand more easily, and it is not as brittle. Underinflating does little good unless you overinflate first.

Use balloons two sizes larger than you would normally use.

Use white balloons as much as possible. They reflect the sun and fade less.

Avoid darker balloons. They will absorb heat and pop faster. If you need darker colors in your balloon decor, use ribbons to accent in a darker color.

Whenever possible, use some kind of framework to give your balloon decor structure that can withstand wind and heat. This can also be helpful for helium-filled balloons that will lose float time in the heat.

Contrary to what all of us tend to think, balloons are not for decoration purposes only. They are about fun and lots and lots of it. So, how about some party games ideas that use balloons for bringing in color, fun and frolic to your party, especially if it is a child's birthday party.

For a very simple game for a child's birthday party, you can get balloons made that have each kid's name on it. You can put in some miniature games and candies inside these and hide them all around the house. It will then be fun to watch them run around while they search for their "own" balloons and discover the prize within the balloon. The kids will love playing the game and you'll enjoy watching them.

Another idea of a fun game can be a "pop the balloon" race. All the kids present at the party can be divided into two or more teams and each given a baton. The kids can run up to the balloons to burst them using the baton and collect the gift (or points) within. Then he/she can race back and handover the baton to the other member of the team and so on. The winning team would be the one which collects maximum points or gifts. This idea can be changed a bit for older children who can aim at balloons from far away, making the same game more challenging.
