Your Favourite Party Supply Store

While computers seemingly make life easier, sometimes we can be overwhelmed by the amount of information at our fingertips. Sometimes, it's easier to just walk into a party supply store and see what they have to offer. Party City is the largest chain with multiple stores in almost every state and is designed to be a one-stop party shop. So what should you have on your list?

Partyware can be a nice accent to your theme celebration. If you don't want to go with solid plastic or plain white paper plates, your local party supply store will carry specialty designs to meet your needs. You can get 24 solid color 10" plates for $4.49 or 8 themed plates for $2.60 in your choice of fiesta, disco, rock n roll, casino, movie night or western. Kids birthday options include: 1st birthday, pirate, Scooby Doo, Barbie, Blue's Clues, Batman, Superman, Aladdin, Spongebob, dinosaur, Star Wars, Finding Nemo, sports, and more. You can purchase plates, cups, disposable cutlery, napkins, tablecloths and dishes in your theme.

Costumes are another reason to check out a celebration supply store. Ordering online can often be deceiving, as there's no way to really tell how cheap the material is or how it will fit. You may just need a wig, horns, vampire teeth, a cape, toy guns or gloves. Or you may want to look at masks like: Yoda, Freddy Krueger, Shrek, the Burger King, a demon or a gorilla. Party supplies costumes give men and women a wide variety of options -- from cheerleaders, Greek goddesses, French maids and Raggedy Ann to Ghostbusters, pirates, gangsters and Neo from The Matrix. There's a wide range of kid party supply costumes as well. The average costume price runs between $30 and $40, with some as low as $10 and others as high as $70.

Where better to go for decorations other than a party supply store? Party City offers streamers, table centerpieces, lights, inflatable items, scene setter backgrounds, cut-outs, hanging decorations, garland, confetti and more -- all in your chosen theme! Your hardest decision will be what to spend your money on, since everything looks so enticing!

For party favors, Oriental Trading Post online or The Dollar Store offers a better, cheaper variety of items. Your celebration supply store carries goodie bags, mints, mini picture frames, awards ribbons, notepads, whistles, flashing buttons, kids' jewelry, keychains coloring books and tattoos. For kids parties you can check out www.coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com for theme party favor ideas.

Balloons from your local party supply store can be used to add ambiance when hooked to chairs, alert people to your house, make a nice table centerpiece, add to the theme or serve as a party favor for each guest. Party City offers both latex and mylar style balloons and also has a helium-filling service. It's best to make your order ahead of time and schedule enough time before the party to pick them up. Nothing shouts "party" like balloons.

A party supply store may not be the first place you think of when it comes to cake baking. But you can get your candles in sparkles, spirals, letters, numbers or characters like Curious George, Winnie The Pooh, Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street, Cinderella, Finding Nemo, Hello Kitty, Pirates of the Caribbean, Little Mermaid, Scooby Doo, Spiderman, Star Wars and more. Get sprinkles, icing in ducky, alphabet or flower shapes, fancy cupcake containers, dinosaur or jungle cake toppers and specially shaped cake pans.

Pinatas come unfilled in a variety of shapes and sizes for $10 - $20 at Party City. Many people find it easier to just snag one at the party supply store, but the very creative and patient individual may want to try making it out of paper mache. Purchasing candy from The Dollar Store to fill it up is your least expensive bet. Traditionally, stores are more expensive than online vendors; however, Party City is a discount party supply store offering low prices and wide selection.
