What occasions are these balloons best suited for?

Can I use these balloons outdoors?

Troubleshooting
Balloons not inflating evenly
Ensure you are not over-inflating. Inflate to the recommended 5" (12 cm) diameter. Check for any small holes or imperfections in the balloon.
Balloons deflating quickly
Ensure the balloon knot is tied securely. For helium-filled balloons, check for leaks around the knot or potential punctures. Latex balloons naturally deflate over time.
Color variation between balloons
While efforts are made for color consistency, slight variations can occur in mass-produced latex items. This is generally minimal for white balloons.
