Hi,
   I currently own a bag of 160Q balloons, and a standard sized double action pump. For my wedding I've ordered 1300 260Q balloons so I don't really think I'm going to have a shortage of larger ones when they arrive! I also have a balloon cutter and small pump for the 160 balloons. What other bits would you guys recommend I get? Round balloons, shaped balloons? What in particular? Many thanks, Ben

Thanks, but I can't see anywhere on either qualatex, or sempertex sites advertising 'sample bags'. Is this something i need to contact him for?

I'm assuming you meant the buy to try where we offer the balloons in bags of 10, http://www.balloonartwholesale.co.uk/ballo ... -balloons/

I'm still waiting for the artwork to add to this page.

Well, I do have some stuff, like I said, I found an online shop before I found this forum. So I have a few 160 balloons and about 1000 260s arriving for my wedding for guests to play with! I will also have a small pump for the 160s and a larger on for the bigger balloons. Also a balloon cutter. I think I would like some bee bodies, but I'm not sure what else I might need to make some good balloons. Should I get geos, and donuts? Round balloons, what size? Anything else?  I did an impromptu balloon twisting party on monday night, I was left in charge of a load of children backstage at a concert so It thought I might make a giraffe or two to keep them quiet, instead I ended making loads of stuff almost for every child there. I didn't realise how much kids like that kind of thing!!

I ended up buying a bulk of really inferior balloons as I was tempted by the bargain price. They are ok for simple stuff but don't hold up to the really twisty stuff. The Sempertex I started off with have been perfect however and I won't make the same mistake again!
