A Really Memorable 1st Birthday

For the most part kids do not remember their 1st birthday parties. I cannot say that no child remembers, but it is unlikely that most kids will remember. The only way a child enjoys his or her 1st birthday is by watching videos and looking at pictures of the fun that he or she had with family and friends.

Another great way to make that celebration more memorable is by adding some items that can be autographed and passed down. For example, there are Autograph hounds that come in various colors and include pens for guests to write on the dog. This can be an adorable child that you child can hold, but it will also be a memorial for all of those people who attended the party.

The dogs come in blues and pinks, as well as in a general style if you don't want to give a gendered toy. These little dogs are adorable and will help make your child's 1st birthday extra special, even when they fully appreciate the significance of those signatures years down the road.

Autograph hounds are a very popular 1st birthday party item, so start getting your order placed today so you can be sure to have one when your child's birthday party rolls around.

Go Ahead Get Specific...Age Specific

We strive to have the widest selection of party supplies in town; though you probably already knew that. Part of that wide selection includes our Age Specific category. While we carry over 200 kids birthday patterns, sometimes adults may feel a little lonely with only solid colored party supplies and decorations to choose from. We have good news. If you didn't already know, there is an entire category of patterns and decorations just for the grownups.

Actually the Age Specific category starts at age 2 and goes all the way to 100. Believe it or not, with exception to 1st birthday party supplies, the higher in age you go the quicker the supplies for that age sell. Therefore, if you are celebrating a 100th birthday (a monumental event indeed) be sure to start ordering early to make sure you can get your hands on the supplies that you need for your celebration.

We carry tons of supplies for over-the-hill as well as generic patterns that come with tableware that simply includes the pattern, or supplies that come with specific ages branded on the supplies, hence "age-specific". Whether you really want to celebrate the age....or rub it in....you will find all of the supplies that you need to make the celebration unforgettable.

Browse around and see what types of supplies you can find for an upcoming "monument" birthday this year. If you don't see something be sure to call us so we can help you find whatever it is that you may be looking for.

It's The Little Things

It is always amazing to me how much a simple crepe streamer can change the entire effect of a party scene. While there are tons of big, fun party decorations that can be used around the house like scene setters and room setters, sometimes it is the little details that make a celebration extra special. We always recommend balloons and streamers as a base for any applicable celebration. Birthdays, religious celebrations, and much more can be made extra special just with some paper and balloons.

Any time you add peripheral accessories to the party they always have to fit the theme or color scheme. Whether you need to get some yellow confetti for a Magic School Bus party, or you want to add some fun purple balloons for a Barney themed party, you need to make sure that the decorations match the theme. If the decorations don't match the room may look like a bundle of chaos rather than a glorious party pad.

If you need help choosing colors, our party planners can always help you as you prepare for your party. In addition to phone and email assistance you can often see related colors mentioned under the main pattern. While we are still working this into the entire site (it may be a while), you can at least see an example amongst our 1st birthday tableware patterns.

Start getting ready for your party today and make sure you have all of the supplies that you need to make your celebration amazing down to the smallest detail.

Balloons: A Party In and of Themselves

Think about it...Balloons are colorful, fun, and shout "PARTY" any time you see them; they are practically a party in and of themselves. With some simple styles and colors of balloons, you could probably use any basic paper tableware to make your celebration look fantastic as long as you have balloons in the area.

In addition to fun colors and what not, there are many that can be used to make balloon animals and other shapes to keep the guests entertained. How many decorations do you know of that can be used to entertain your guests while also making the room look extra festive during the celebration. If you know someone who can, or even if you can, make balloon shapes at a party it is a really great way to keep the kids entertained while adding a flow to the party that is simply amazing.

While balloons can be an art and decoration at the same time, balloons are very often used to facilitate party games. Whether the goal is to keep the balloons in the air, or to pop the balloons, balloons are a great accessory to have when you need a party game on the spot. There are so many games that can be play; be sure to look for tome ideas online to help make your party really fun.

Balloons can also be adhered to an object to create an really cool shape like an arch, a doorway, or other entry way type of shape. There are kits out there that allow people to create these kinds of designs, but as long as you have some thin piping attach your balloons and make your party looking great.

Start considering how balloons can be a fun party asset. Tell us how you have used balloons in the past in a way that was fun or unusual.

Party Hats Galore

Hats are a great way to make any party fun. Necklaces can also be a fun addition to the wardrobe, but hats for whatever reason seem to make parties extra fun and special no matter. Maybe it is the fact that hat hair comes into the picture, or maybe it is just because party hats look so funny on those people who never seem to like them in normal, everyday life. Whatever the reason, hats are a big part of any party.

Of course there are many sizes, styles, colors, and types of hats and head wear, but whatever you choose, you are sure to find happy guests. At kids' parties you will often see cone hats and other cheap paper head toppings. While adults often use these kinds of party supplies as well, you will more commonly see adults wearing head boppers that have funny shapes, or hats that fit to the theme of the party. For example, sailor hats. Whatever the occasion is, paper and foil hats can be an inexpensive and fun way to get every guest into a fun outfit in a matter of seconds.

Many people believe that hats are meant for special occasions, Halloween, or some other express event. However, hats have been and still remain popular for nearly every party. If nothing else a hat or set of boppers will get a smile out of your guests.

Get ready for your big party today and stock up on all of the hats you need to make your party great for you and your guests. If the party is going to be really big, always remember to look at the bulk party supplies so you can find all of the supplies that you want and need to make your party look great this year.

Bieber Fever Party

Justin Bieber is sweeping the nation...correction...has been and continues to sweep the nation, and while there are no Justin Bieber themed tableware supplies to make your party Completely Bieber themed, that doesn't mean you can't celebrate with a touch of Justin Bieber thrown into the middle. Of course you can throw in some general party supplies to make the house look festive but it can be tough to theme it for Justin Bieber unless you add some extra activities of fun games to make your party complete.

I found a great party idea online at celebrations.com and I wanted to share it with you. If there is one thing that Justin Bieber fans seem to like to do more than anything else it is to sing his songs. Check out this Justin Bieber Karaoke party idea and let me know what you think. Do you like it? Not Like it? Think it needs to be more detailed? Whatever you think, let me know.

One of the things that I like the most about this idea is the lack of difficulty associated with setting it up. Of course if you want to make the party super neat and tidy you will want to have the words pop up as you are singing them and you can spend a ton of money on equipment, or you can just sing to the music and have fun. Fun is what it is all about with friends any way right?

Sometimes parties are more work than they are fun. If you have the means to buy the equipment, set up the audio and video elements and everything else then that is great and you will have a great time, but if you are like most people and you want to just sing with friends, this is for you.

Let us know what you think of this idea. Would you use it for your party?

Twilight Eclipse Party Foods

Admit it. You and your friends have those arguments over whether Edward or Jacob is just right for Bella. If you haven't then your kids probably have. Either way Twilight, and more specifically Eclipse, is a major part of pop culture in the world. The newest movie adaptation, Eclipse, of the popular book series was just released on 6/30/10, and it had a huge opening due to the massive following.

With such a popular literary, and movie series, a lot of people like to throw parties based on Twilight. There are fun Twilight party supplies available online, along with other general supplies that can help you emphasize your love for Vampires or Werewolves. While you may have all of the supplies that you need, you still need food to make the party complete. Many people add some general food which is good, but themed foods can be a wonderful addition.

You can add some standard party goodies like chips, dips, veggie trays, and so on to start things off, but you should add some humorous themed party treats that will help make your Twilight party even better. For example, you can add some red drinks to the party since this is, after all, a vampire party. Drinks can range from Kool-Aid to cranberry juice, though I am sure you will want to stick with the sweeter treats. In terms of foods, you can add some puppy chow into the mix for those Werewolves (you can call it wolf-chow, so as not to offend Jacob and his buddies).

It is amazing how themed food can really transform a party even if no other party supplies are involved. There are tons of great ideas out there, be sure to check out our other party ideas, as well as looking at Twilight party ideas from other sites so you can make your party amazing this year.
