WATINC 36-Piece Cross Balloons for Baptism, Christening & First Communion – Gold & Silver Latex Balloons (12 inch)
This 36-piece balloon set from WATINC features a cross pattern printed on each balloon, making it a fitting decoration for religious celebrations like baptisms, christenings, first communions, and confirmation parties. The package includes 12 gold balloons, 24 silver balloons, and one curling ribbon. Each balloon measures 12 inches when fully inflated. They are made from natural latex, which is non-toxic and harmless. The balloons can be filled with air or helium and will stay inflated for up to 72 hours. They are reusable if handled carefully.
What’s in the Package and How It Works
You get 36 balloons in two metallic shades: gold and silver. The design is a simple cross pattern, suitable for Christian-themed events. The included ribbon lets you tie them together or attach them to decorations. The balloons come deflated and need to be inflated with a pump (not included) or helium tank. Because they are latex, they can be inflated by mouth if you prefer, but a pump is recommended to avoid overinflation.

How to Inflate and Handle These Balloons
Using a pump is the safest way to inflate these latex balloons. Overinflating can cause them to burst. Fill them until they are firm but not stretched tight. For helium, use a standard balloon tank. Once inflated, the balloons will float for about three days. When the event is over, you can deflate them carefully and reuse them later. Keep them away from sharp objects and extreme heat. Note that these balloons are not edible and can be a choking hazard for small children, so supervise kids during play.
What Events Are These Best For?
The cross pattern makes these balloons a natural fit for any Christian religious celebration. Common uses include baptism parties, christenings, first communion decorations, confirmation parties, and Sunday school events. They also work for baby showers, birthdays, and weddings if the theme allows. The gold and silver colors complement many color schemes and add a festive touch to photo backdrops, dessert tables, or entrance arches.
