Garland Installation & Removal

The integrity of your walls is of the UTMOST importance to me, so this blog post is to outline what you should expect when it comes to installing and removing balloon garlands from Sunny Day Event Co.

When installing a balloon garland I will use 3M Command Hooks, which can be found here if you want to know the exact hooks that I use. These can be used on many different surfaces to hang your balloon garland, HOWEVER, if you have painted your walls within 6 weeks before your event these hooks SHOULD NOT be used on any wall that has been painted during that time as it will lift the paint! Command hooks should also not be installed on wallpaper or textured walls, so if any of these are where you are considering having your balloon garland another installation place should be chosen. Installation of the balloon garland is included in the price, so you do not have to worry about installing these garlands yourself.

When removing a balloon garland, I can come to take down the garland and command hooks/strips. However, this is not required and you are more than welcome to take down the balloons and command hooks/strips yourself! If you choose to remove the command hooks yourself, your first step is to take down the balloons. After removing the balloons, you will grab the bottom of the command strip that is connecting the hook to the wall and pull SLOWLY in a downward motion. DO NOT pull towards yourself, you MUST pull the strip down parallel to the wall as shown in the illustration below.

If you follow these instructions, your walls will be safe from damage and your takedown will be worry free!
