19. Floating Balloon Phantoms
For an easy, high-impact party decoration, floating balloon phantoms are unmatched. Fill white helium balloons and tie them with long, trailing white crepe paper streamers or lightweight white tulle. Using a lightweight black marker, draw large, expressive ghostly faces on the balloons. The helium keeps the balloons afloat, while the lightweight streamers cascade down, mimicking a flowing, spectral body.
As guests move around the room, the air currents will cause these floating phantoms to drift silently through the air, their long tails trailing behind them. It is an incredibly simple, cost-effective way to fill a large space with dynamic, moving decorations that instantly set a fun, festive party atmosphere.
