This balloon centerpiece was photographed at about 1 week old.  The center/main balloon held up real well while the latex accent balloons started shrinking after a couple days.  I believe this was under $15 from Party on and I'd recommend it for any event (especially if you're celebration lasts more than 1 day) or as a arrangement (along the lines as cookie bouquets) as a gift in lieu of flowers.
