We live in an age where everyone thinks they’re an expert on everything. In the world of HGTV, YouTube, Pinterest and endless tutorials it can be hard to resist saving some money and doing things yourself.
Backdrops are a must have for events. Even with beautiful scenery, people expect a space that defines your event to take pictures in front of. Here are some reasons why you should hire a balloon agency, event planner or rent your pre-made backdrop.
More Costly Than You Think
A lot of people think DIY will save them some money. Have you ever met a person who planned a wedding at a cheaper venue and by the time they had bought everything the venue didn’t have; they spent as much or more than they would have at a venue with everything right there?
Backdrops can be like that. You may think you can just order some stuff online and go to work but you will quickly realize how costs add up. An event planner has suppliers that are cheaper than what us regular people can find. Artificial flower walls can cost thousands in dollar store flowers. You may not be thinking of that as you imagine your floral wall on a budget.
Not to mention, it’s much easier for an event planner to find quality artificial flowers. No one wants to have a wall that looks like it’s obviously made of cheap, fake flowers. What if you want fresh flowers in your arch or wall? The costs can add up quickly, especially if you have to account for your own learning curve and errors.
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Even though it seems like we can order anything online; there are backdrops that simply require a professional to find the materials for. You may have a case of buyer beware when you order balloon and party supplies online. We have all gotten something other than what the picture looked like and had a lengthy return process before. You could also get low quality products and shipping delays that would cause you to have to scrap the idea and look into artificial flower wall rental anyways.
Everything is Not Always What it Seems
Have you ever tried to make a balloon animal for your child? Looks simple but it isn’t. Have you ever tried to follow a hair tutorial and failed miserably? Most of us have tried something that looks simple and found that the person who showed us must have had a lot of experience. This is why it’s so important to just hire a balloon agency for a balloon arch or backdrop and avoid countless hours of torment trying to create something yourself (usually for the first time).
Your Time is Valuable
Who wants to spend dozens of hours on one aspect of the entire event that needs planning and execution? Most of us have work, families and lives to run. People also forget that there will be tear down of the backdrop and what to do with thousands of artificial flowers, balloons and the like.
It’s Worth It
Whatever the occasion, when you need a backdrop, there is usually something important going on. Weddings, showers, parties, brand launches and the like are not the time to skimp. No one wants to be worried about set up and tear down on the day of an event. You want to be able to kick back, relax and take some selfies in front of the masterpiece behind you.
You will be so happy with the pictures and memories for years to come when you avail yourself of an event planner or rent an artificial flower wall. Don’t just get your own balloon and party supplies. Let a professional balloon agency or party planner help you.
