There are several factors that go into answering this specific question and this article is going to help you answer that question for yourself and your specific situation.
If your biggest concern is budget, then I would say Not To Hire A Balloon Professional. Balloons are an art and that art takes years of perfecting, practicing, and lots of repetition. There are lots of videos and blogs (even the one you are reading right now) to help people achieve the best possible balloon creation all by themselves for a fraction of the price but DIY balloon decorations won’t compare to the quality of a balloon professional.

More To Consider
Are You Planning To Buy A Balloon Kit?
Balloon kits can be a practical addition for any DIYer, but most balloon professionals don’t want to work with balloon kits for several reasons. The main reason being balloon kits often don’t come with quality balloons. This isn’t true for all balloon kits, so read the description. Check out my post Top Balloon Brands here.
Balloon professionals usually buy their balloons in bulk and at a discount. So even though you will get a higher quality balloon, you probably won’t pay more for the balloons themselves. Instead, you will be paying for the balloon professional’s know-how.
