Kate Lawler hits back at cruel 'Karens' who bizarrely vandalized her mother-in-law's homemade balloon arch for her 70th birthday
Kate Lawlor has hit back at 'party Karens' who trolled her for making a homemade balloon arch.
The former Big Brother star turned This Morning host shared a snap of her homemade party decorations on Instagram, especially after admitting she had “never done anything like this before”. It only cost me £67, rather than the £250 quoted by an expert who was quite proud of his efforts.
she joked. “I have never felt more like Stacey Solomon (just not this creative).”Anyway, after receiving quotes from several companies, I went to my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday over the weekend. I decided to make my own welcome board and balloon arch to welcome the guests.
'I bought a white folding easel from Amazon for £16.99 which I can use again. The welcome board was bought on Etsy for £30 and the balloon arch kit was £20 from my favorite new website for party planning, Ginger Ray. Bought in pounds. Total cost: £67 Bosch! I know I'm not as good as the experts, but it was perfectly fine for small gatherings at home. I felt proud of myself and loved what I did. Now that we understand what we're doing, we feel like we can do a better job the next time we make it. What do we think? Do we make it ourselves or pay a professional to make it for us? ?X”
However, while some fans praised her for her “great job”, others were less kind and seemed to go a little overboard in the comments section. As one person pointed out: “As a balloon/prop/decoration company that does exactly this kind of set-up, I think you've highlighted why it cost him £200 from an expert. Your product works, but it doesn't compare. ”
Another said: “Thank you, Kate. It's clear you know nothing about professional balloon artists or how much work goes into our work. As well as putting our heart and soul into our business, now is also our time. How do we expect to work for free? Perhaps people are wondering how much it actually costs. You want to think carefully before criticizing.”
A third said: “I think you seriously disrespect all of us balloon artists when you get what you pay for. Our costs include luxury branded balloons, technology and labor. While a fourth jives, “If you're happy, I guess it worked out, but to me it looks awful, so many mistakes, but, well, you Whatever floats your boat!”
In response, one of Kate's followers wrote: The balloon people's comments are ridiculous. Were you smelling helium? ” And in a new post a few days later, Kate posted another video hitting back at so-called “Karens.”
She said this while holding her head in her hands. I have to speak my mind, I have to advocate for myself. All I did was buy an easel from Amazon, a welcome board from Etsy, and some balloons from Ginger Ray UK. It's all wiped out. I am abusing and criticizing the Balloon Arch community. Oh, the Karen tribe has gathered together!
“Kate, you should be ashamed of yourself for not supporting small businesses! Kate, you showed the internet exactly what kind of person you are! I made my own balloon arch! Honestly, I can't stand it! No! Some people can't afford to pay £250 for a balloon arch for a small gathering of 20 people at home, like I did for Sue's birthday.The average age was 70. I don't give too much credit to balloon arches.'' Kate then performed a hilarious dance using balloons from a handmade arch while reciting the lyrics to Kris Kristofferson's song 'Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down.' Ta.
