Balloon Release??

Our ceremony is outside. It's on a dock on a lake. At the end of the ceremony, we want our guests to do a balloon release. How would you arrange this? Me, FH and MOH can't think of a way to make it work. We thought of having the guests hold them but would that be annoying and interfere with...

We thought of having the guests hold them but would that be annoying and interfere with pictures? It won't be a big crowd of balloons, we only have 10 guests.

    Love the idea of the balloons, but have to agree with the other ladies that it's probably not the most environmentally friendly idea. (Although I have to admit that I did one many years ago at my son's football game shortly after my Grandfather who was my sons best Buddy passed away) Skipping rocks and the like are neat ideas. Or what about having flowers that your guests can toss into the water? Would float longer for more photo ops?

    I agree with everyone else. 10 balloons, 1 balloon, doesnt matter. Creatures will still see it as food. And it's littering. Just as bad as throwing rice. Have a little respect for mother earth. I love Harley_Bride2B idea of throwing flowers into the water. That's not harmful at all, & it will probably provide a beautiful photo shot.
