These balloons are so vibrant and very richly colored. They are a heavier quality than store bought balloons and are larger. I would say they are more like a commercial grade balloon, if there is such a thing. The confetti balloons add a great look to the bunch. There are a few tricks to getting the confetti to disburse and stick to the edges. All you do is make static electricity by rubbing the blown up balloon on your hair or carpet and it makes the confetti cling to the sides. It is super easy. I would definately purchase these again!
