If you’ve heard the news, you probably know that Party City is continuing to close ALL of its retail stores across the country. For years, it’s been the go-to spot for last-minute party supplies, decorations, and balloons. But with fewer locations and limited inventory, many customers are finding themselves scrambling at the last minute, unable to get what they need for birthdays, graduations, baby showers, and even corporate events.
So what does this mean for party planners, hosts, and businesses?
It means planning ahead is more important than ever. Here’s why:
1. Party Supplies Are Going Fast Online:
With fewer physical stores, more people are turning to online shopping. That means inventory sells out quicker—especially seasonal or themed items. If you have a celebration coming up, it’s smart to shop early and secure everything you need with time to spare.
2. Balloon Decor Requires More Than a Store:
Let’s be honest—Party City wasn’t exactly creating custom, show-stopping balloon setups. A balloon stylist like myself offers:
Unique, personalized designs tailored to your event’s theme or brand
Delivery and professional setup (no stress for you!)
High-quality balloons that last and look amazing in photos
3. Events Deserve More Than “Grab and Go”
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday or hosting a corporate launch party, you deserve more than a standard balloon bouquet. Custom balloon decor sets the mood, elevates your event space, and makes your guests say, “Wow.”
4. I Book Up Fast—And That’s a Good Thing
With more people looking for alternatives to party supply stores, my calendar fills quickly. If you know your date, reach out early so I can create something incredible for your special day.
Bottom line: Party City might be closing, but your parties don’t have to lose their sparkle.
Skip the stress. Plan ahead. Let’s make magic with custom balloon decor that stands out and shows up on time.
