Party City
From LoveToKnow Party
Everyone loves specialty stores. They’re around so that we don’t have to search and plunder department stores like Wal-Mart every time that we have a specific need. There are countless stores for electronics, appliances, furniture, media – even candy! But where’s the store for all of us who just love to get down?
A Party in Every City
Party City was established around 1986 in the small state of New Jersey. They now feature over 500 locations; 249 company-owned stores and 258 franchised stores, with the vast majority of those stores opening up in the last ten years.
The goal of Party City is to make throwing a party a cheap and easy endeavor. They sell absolutely everything you can think of in terms of throwing a party. They cover all the bases with standard things like plastic utensils and decorations to elaborate set-ups like bounce houses. Party City’s goal is to offer everything you need for throwing a party at a competitive price.
Party City on the Web
Party City can be located on the internet at their official website, www.partycity.com. There you can read all about Party City, use their store locator to find a store close to you, or search their catalog.
The Party City website contains a feature entitled Birthday Club, which helps you plan your birthday party. Using the Birthday Club feature, you can choose a theme, shop for products that fit that theme and then invite people to your party.
You can also find tips on the Party City website to help you plan a fun and safe party. This section is separated into party themes, making it easy to find what you’re looking for.
Finally, you can register for updates on Party City supplies, as well as make a printable list of items from their catalog to make your shopping trip all the more easier.
Party Ingredients
To find out what it takes to throw a good party, simply check out their catalog!
Searching their catalog is especially useful if there aren’t any locations near you. It can save you from making a long drive if Party City doesn’t even carry what you’re looking for. If you do happen to make the trip, phone ahead to verify that the branch you’re going to has the products you need.
Their catalog is separated into two search methods: “Products,” if you have a good idea of what you’re looking for without caring for a specific theme, and “Parties,” if you know what kind of party you want to throw. These sections include both different occasions and different themes.
The "Products" section of the catalog offers a dozen different categories, from bags and gift warp to bakeware and party hats. A lot of what you’ll find in here is more along the lines of party essentials; the kind of stuff you will need at almost every party.
The "Party" section, however, gets much more specific. After selecting the type of party you want, it will show you a selection of standard party items such as plates and napkins that adhere to that type of party, as well as show you specific items (such as flowers for a Sweet 16 party) that will help that kind of party.
All Partied Out
I’ve only given you a mere peek at what Party City has to offer. Hands down, Party City is the premiere location for all of your party needs. So before you go scouring your local department store for streamers and balloons, why not zip on over to PartyCity.com and see what they have to offer.
