How far in advance would you blow up latex air balloons (not helium) before an event?

I can't do it the night before, but the afternoon before has a window.

I am on tenterhooks.

I am 32.

I reckon they should last a couple of days

Please tie at least one bunch in the classic 2 round, 1 long configuration....always raises a smile

Always good when the balloons start to deflate

The round ones go wrinkly and resemble a scrotum

Or maybe Rupert Murdoch's face

Balloons are the devil's work. Rubber johnnies are more of a talking piece. What kind of event?

In the early days did the devil originally draw up plans for the balloon? Or did he outsource it to another department?

I think you are blowing it up out of all proportion.

I think you inflated the concept of balloons by stating that they are the work of the devil.

On a day like today as late as possible.

What you could do is get a length of tubing, cut it up into 1 to 2 inch lengths, so you have a tube per ballon, blow up the ballon through the tube, put some cork or maybe blue tack into the tube, secure the ballon to the tube using very strong elastic bands or maybe sellotape, and do that the night before.

Then in the afternoon carefully take out the cork/blue tack, give all the balloons a little blow to pep them up, remove tape elastic band and tie off.

Viola, you can use your night time to get everything ready, but not have anxiety about droop or sagging the following day.

And, yes, yes I do have too much time between zoom meetings today.
