Party Needs551

When you're in search of invitations, mylar balloons, pinatas, party hats and other birthday paraphernalia, you're likely to hit the jackpot at Party Needs.

Parent party planners will find goodies likely to impress even the most hardened of party veterans. It carries accessories and supplies to throw basic theme parties (Barbie, Disney Princess, Construction, Thomas the Tank engine, etc) and other birthday stuff so you can create your own. You'll also find other seasonal party items. If you're looking for flashier, more extensive theme options check out BirthdayExpress.com.

It's a fun spot to shop even if you don't have parties on the brain. Stamps, stamp pads, crafts, and other goodies occupy shelves. Kids may go a little nutty when they spy the candy normally destined for goody bags. Be prepared to buy a piece or two. It may quiet the young one who can't seem to stop asking, "when is my birthday coming?"

You can outfit your kids and home for Halloween by visiting the store or browse its extensive on-line Halloween store (costumepros.com).
