Discount Party Supplies Can Generate Party Ideas

Which comes first, the party theme or the party supplies? Next time you’re planning a party, shop first for discount party supplies and let the supplies generate the theme party ideas.

This approach may not work if your daughter is dying for a Barbie birthday party. If your child is flexible, he will probably love the idea of a party using the Spider Man supplies you found on clearance. This works even better when planning parties for adults. Go ahead and snatch up that great flamingo party ware that’s on sale. You can incorporate it into your next party theme. (Christmas in the tropics with flamingoes pulling Santa’s sleigh? Why not?).

Save Money on Party Supplies with These Party Planning Tips

Buy off-season supplies.

Plan next year’s beach party at the end of this summer. Buy your supplies when they’re marked down in late August and early September. You’ll save money on everything from tiki torches to inflatable beach balls. Pick up next year’s holiday party napkins, cups and party favors when they go on clearance this year.

Buy in bulk.

You can save money by buying party favors in bulk. Go to party suppliers who specialize in selling everything from honkers to hats to holiday party decorations by the dozen.

Buy outside the party store.

If you’re planning a Bob the Builder party, go to the hardware store or lumberyard to look for favors, game ideas and supplies. A hand tool or paint bucket can become a party decoration.

Buy in plain and neutral colors.

Keep a supply of discount party plates and napkins in plain colors on hand. After Christmas you can find red and green plates on sale. Buy the pastel napkins after Easter. Watch post-graduation sales to find discount supplies in the colors of your local high school. When you’re ready to throw a party, dress this plain party ware up with stickers or mix and match it with party supplies printed with a design.
