Cute Engagement Party Balloons...why only in the UK????

I've looked in Party City, Party Giant and many other places but can't seem to find ANY Mylar engagement balloons. There's lots of 'congrats' balloons but we're throwing the party for ourselves and feel that's not appropriate. Who congratulates themselves we want something like 'we're engaged'. I've now started searching online (even ebay) and everywhere that has anything engagement related is in the UK...*** Do us american's not celebrate engagements lol???

All of these balloons are so cute but I found them on UK websites. If anyone knows anywhere I can find any one of these...a store or even online (from a US based website) please let me know. Thanks so much:

I think you can still purchase them, even if the website is UK based.

Oh yes I know I can purchase them but when doing the price conversion they end up being ridiculously expensive for the 15 balloons then to ship them overseas.

so, just explain to your FH that you have to take a trip to London to go buy them!

try eBay... that's where I bought my engagement balloons.

Thanks for the link! I didn't realize how big the E-Ring balloon was 37'. They have some cute bridal shower stuff on that website. I can't wait till next year to plan my best friends bridal shower that should be lots of fun!

Cedarhurst paper had very nice paper goods....they didn't have many to choose from for actual engagement,(maybe 4 different ones)but we are doing a fall theme so I was able to get a lot of stuff for that...so I had a very successful day!
They had basically the same balloons that I have seen at every party place, so I didn't get any balloons.

I had the engagement ring balloon. I got it at simplyweddingstuff.com. I might also have a coupon code, so FM if you want me to look for it. Any local party store will inflate the balloons for a very minimal cost.
