    Stretch out the mouth of the balloon first, pull the sides so they are longer than the short side of the gift card. put it in, then blow up the balloon. Adela

    maybe get a bigger balloon. or you could put some vegetable oil on the edges of the card or some dish soap. or put two pens or pencils in the ballon and stretch it open. theuniversalmind

    You could try folding the card. Aallayah08

    Try a larger balloon that probably has a larger mouth, then I agree with Adela. Simba

    There are at least three methods:
    1. Roll the card up like a tube and insert it that way. Then inflate the balloon.
    2. Go to a party store or flower shop that has one of those balloon stuffing machines. You will need to buy one of their 18″ stuffing balloons and have them put the card in intact without any folds, curls, or other misc. spindles otherwise necessary.
    3. Have one or two volunteers insert their fingers in the neck of the balloon and pull in opposite directions in order to stretch the neck wide enough to slip the card in. Just make sure they don’t have long nails. blnsitr
