Balloon arches are priced by size, style and whether they are delivered and installed or DIY. Organic garlands cost more than classic linked arches. For a small home party, a DIY kit is a fraction of a professional install.

- A DIY balloon garland kit is a fraction of a professional install for a small home party.
