Kids Table Centerpiece?

We're doing pretty expensive big floral centerpieces for the tables at our wedding in two weeks.  We have a kids table and I thought it would be silly to spend $100 on flowers for this table.  SO, I had the idea of asking our florist to have a balloon bouquet at this table instead with one for each kid that they can take home.  The kids table is in the back corner, so I don't think it would mess up the flow of the room, and instead of our regular favors, they are getting little boxes full of stuff to occupy them.  I also thought the balloons would be a good way for the parents to instantly find the kids table in the crowd.

Here's the question- I feel like balloons are kind of reserved for birthdays, anniversaries, etc and could be cheesy/ tacky at a wedding as decoration.  Do you agree? If I have them on the kids table will it be weird?  Let me know your thoughts.

    I think that'd be adorable! go for it. It'd only be cheesy/tacky if you did that at all the tables lol this would be charming.

    I think it is just fine to do balloons a the kid's table, even for a formal event.  I wouldn't give it a second thought.   It keeps it real.

    Steal away Lois!  I just arranged it with the florist, it will only be $6 for the baloons in our wedding colors, and they even have the matte baloons that look a little classier!
