Factory Card and Party Outlet

You need to watch the prices. They are constantly over-​charging. I still go here because it has the best party selection but watch the register!

This is actually Party City, since at least 2008, but the prices and concept are all the same. Good party supplies at reasonable prices. You can get a hundred polystyrene plates for around $ 10, and a huge box of plastic ware for about $ 15.
What they have online is not always available in store. But sign up for their email list, and you’ll get really good coupons to use online and in store. And I’ve gotten amazeballs deals at their sidewalk sale.
The employees at this location are always very helpful, even when you’re in the middle of a bridal breakdown.
The location can be tricky to find if you’re not familiar with the area. Google maps is wrong, the store is between Jefferson Ave. & Aurora Ave. on the east side of Rt. 59.

This year marks the first ever friends birthday party my 6 year old is having. We went with Pirate themed, not Pirates of the Carribean, just pirates. They had pinatas, plates and cups (2 for $ 3.50) table cloths, etc. The selection is not as vast as I thought it would be, very few games, more novelty goody bag junk, and honestly if you have the time and planning visiting Oriental Trading Company will save you on the hats, costumes, etc. They also have a larger selection. This is a great last minute place though.
The line was a little long and hot as heck in the store this past week.

It’s after midnight, so it’s my son’s second birthday. I took my older one today and picked up the birthday party goods for the bash tomorrow. Lots of licensed character stuff, which I could do without but allow anyway, and plainer designs. It does the trick.
