balloon releases in PA? *UPDATE* Using a bubble machine!

I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of being pelted with birdseed, flowers, rice, or confetti at the end of our outdoor ceremony, on the West End Overlook. So I was thinking since were going to be high up above the city for the wedding, how about a balloon release? I did a Google search and an Ask.com...

I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of being pelted with birdseed, flowers, rice, or confetti at the end of our outdoor ceremony, on the West End Overlook. So I was thinking since were going to be high up above the city for the wedding, how about a balloon release? I did a Google search and an Ask.com search and found no laws or answers about bans on it. Where could I find out about this? My FH is all for the balloons, as long as were not breaking any laws! And is this a different cool way to celebrate our wedding day? I thought it could make for some cool pics at least!

*UPDATE*

I changed my mind thanks to Andrea R. who was NICE and offered an alternative suggestion of a bubble machine, no litter, no wildlife being injured, ALL GOOD!!! Plus with the TONS of kids being there it will be a HUGE hit!

    Hee! Im so excited now!!! I can get one for under $30 at Target. I have 2 kids and they have been BEGGING for me to get a bubble machine. So this works double duty! @ Andrea if your really interested I have the West End Overlook mapped on our wedding website so you can find your way!

    Oh my gosh! I want a bubble machine!!

    I wanted sparklers, but I can't have them. Maybe this is the next best thing? Are you renting/buying it??!!
