Christmas Party Antics

- Posted on December 30, 2009

The family Christmas party went very well, and all of our Christmas party supplies were a hit with our guests. I am still trying to wake up after a week of grueling schedules, and family interactions that, while fun, are still draining. We went to a Christmas Eve party at my wife’s grandmother’s house, followed by Church at 11pm (we didn’t get home till 2am). On Christmas morning, my wife and I woke up, ate a delicious, heart-healthy breakfast of Cinnebons, opened presents, and then the real Christmas excitement began. Since we already had our party supplies up, we didn’t have to worry about those details on Christmas morning, so the family visits began.

After the morning presents, we went to my parents house, followed by my wife’s father’s house. Luckily, both of those sets of family are within a 20 minute radius of our home. Around 1pm the rest of my wife’s mother came to our house to start cooking Christmas dinner. Christmas dinner was prime rib, and was just about ready when the rest of the family came for the Christmas day party around 4pm. Everyone loved all of our party decorations, and other Christmas party supplies and accessories. With a festive environment, everyone was able to get into the Christmas spirit in a matter of minutes, so that by the end of the night everyone went home content with their gifts, goodies, and family memories.

Needless to say it has been a long couple of days, filled with fun, family, and lots of party supplies that helped make our parties unforgettable. Now I am trying to gather together the motivation to get ready for the New Year party that is coming tomorrow. I have all of the New Year party supplies that I need, but I don’t have the strength or desire (at the moment) to get up and do it. We will have tons of people coming to the house that night, and it is tough to say if I’ll be able to make it through everything. Monday night a friend came from out of town and we watched movies until 4am, and we may go see a movie tonight as well. All of these late nights on top of New Year’s Eve tomorrow night will not farewell with my ability to stay awake. With sleep I can master the ability of consciousness, however, without sleep, I have little to no defenses against exhaustion. Hopefully you are able to get the sleep you need to make this New Year a time of excitement as you usher in a year brighter than anyone has ever seen. Sorry for not writing for a few day. Between family, everyday chores, and last minute Christmas shopping for the “full Christmas” that we will be having on New Year’s Day, it has been a crazy week. There is more to come in 2010.

New Year Party Supplies and Decorations

- Posted on December 23, 2009

Happy Wednesday…BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! I am so excited for the Christmas party that is now only a two days away from us. We have the whole house set up for the party, and while my wife is finishing up some of the cooking (I’m not allowed in the kitchen after last year’s…well…let’s say that we found out the true value of a smoke detector), I am putting the finishing touches on the house with all of the Christmas party supplies that I got a few weeks back. We have window clings on nearly every window, one wall is sporting a stylish scene setter party decoration, and we have snowflake danglers hanging from the ceiling to create a winter wonderland environment. We have other details and decorations in the room, but those are the biggest eye catchers. While I am happy to have everything set up for our Christmas party, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed about the lack of time we have between Christmas and New Years to clean and re-decorate the house with all of our New Year party decorations and supplies that we got from partypro.

We are all ready for both of the parties, but when you have a month to prepare and decorate for one, and then you have 5 days to prepare for your second party, time can feel a little tight. Which holiday party is your favorite: Christmas or New Years? I love both, but I think I lean more heavily toward Christmas since it is such a fun time with family and friends. New Year parties can be fun too, but there is something about the trees, the gifts, and everything else, that makes Christmas simply amazing. Since I have finished preparing for the Christmas party, I am starting to go through all of my New Year party supplies to figure out what needs to be prepared, and trying to get an idea of where I want to put everything. Some things are rather randomly prepared, while others are meticulously planned for and prepared to make sure the room looks just right for the occasion.

I feel like there is so much to be done between now and when our party starts. My wife is overwhelmed by the stress of truffles, and other candies for which she is known, and is now expected to prepare for the festivities every year (though she does enjoy it, there is a level of stress). I need to make sure I have everything I need for my New Year party, but I will be back to tell you all about it very soon. Have fun, celebrate life, and have a very Merry Christmas.

A Good Christmas Party Idea for Next Year

- Posted on December 18, 2009

I was browsing today and found a post that Partypro wrote about a customer who was throwing a The Nightmare Before Christmas party, and I thought to myself, “Wow, that would be so fun!” (Those were my actual thoughts; I purposely remembered so I could record them here). I think it is a fun party idea that could make for a great Christmas party, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the idea once they post it online. They have such a large selection of Christmas and Halloween party supplies that it makes sense to mix them together to create a unique Christmas party. I wish I would have thought of this back during Halloween, or I would have totally used this idea then. I already have all of the Christmas party supplies I need for the party, and I already have the theme set, so I cannot change now, but maybe next year I can use this concept for Halloween or Christmas.

I cannot believe that Christmas is almost here, 6 Days 1 Hours 28 Minutes and 58 Seconds till Christmas…but whose counting? Why are you all looking at me? Anyway, I got all of my wife’s Christmas presents so we are all ready to go for the big day. This first Christmas as a married couple is not good for the wallet. We set present budgets for one another, but we broke those immediately. Luckily, we can handle going over the budget by “as much as we did” at the moment without a problem, but we need to be careful in the future. With Christmas on the way, that means our Christmas party is almost here, and my nieces first birthday party is just around the corner. I can’t wait for it all to come, so my wife and I can have fun with family and friends.

Head over to Partypro’s Google blog, or as they call it, the New Release Party Blog and checkout the article I was talking about at the beginning of this post. If you decide to use the idea, you need to place the order immediately to make sure you can get your supplies to you in time. If you are buying your party supplies from the Green Warehouse that shouldn’t be a problem since they handle those orders in the same location as the orders are received, but you will probably have to call about getting your bulk orders in time. Regardless, have a great Christmas and if you aren’t ready, start getting ready for a great time of celebrations with those you love.

Getting Tired Before the Christmas Party

- Posted on December 4, 2009

Filed under: Christmas Party Supplies, Discount Party Supplies, Party Supplies — Party Supplies Pro @ 10:46 am

While I am so excited for the upcoming Christmas party, I feel like I could just go into hibernation for the next couple of weeks. Between preparations, work, family, and other exciting (and not so exciting) situations I am drained. I am just happy that while feeling physically and emotionally drained, I don’t have to fee the same way financially. Since I got all of my Christmas party supplies at wholesale and discount prices, I was able to go get some goodies for my wife for under the tree. I still have some party supplies and party decorations to put up around the house to prepare for all of the parties and for the Christmas season in general, but now that I am done shopping…for the party, so I can rest and relax for a couple of minutes.

My wife and I decided to get my dad a personalized mug this year to help him remember that he is the best dad in the world (well he is). Imagine my surprise when I found out that not only can I get all of my party supplies at Partypro, but I can also get personalized mugs and other keepsakes, along with high-end educational toys. I guess they just added the toys to the White Warehouse a couple of weeks ago in time for the Holidays. The toys aren’t sold in bulk, so I went and compared prices to see why I should buy them at Partypro compared to the manufacturer, and I realized that Partypro carries the toys at prices lower than the manufacturer sells them. It seems that Partypro keeps on getting closer and closer to being my one stop shop for every celebration. Not only will my dad love his mug, but my niece will love these toys.

If you haven’t looked through all of the warehouses yet and seen all of the features, opportunities, and prices Partypro has to offer, then you are really missing out on your parties.  It took me a few minutes to understand how their site was set up originally, but once I figured out how everything was organized I started my savings. My wife is calling me so I have to run, but go checkout Partypro today….If you are trying to get discount party supplies for a Christmas or New Year party, order as soon as possible, so you can avoid the rush and get Free Shipping. Have a great day.

New Year Parties Too Close To Christmas

- Posted on December 2, 2009

My wife and I love to see all of our friends and all of the people we love so that we can enter the New Year together in a massive celebration. It can, however, be stressful and draining, emotionally and financially, to celebrate a Christmas party and then pop into a New Year party in a matter of days (which really feels like hours). We start planning for Christmas, but almost immediately we need to start getting ready for the New Year party. Since our Christmas party supplies are all ordered, for the most part, and ready to go for our Christmas party, it is time to start prepping for our New Year party. Of course I could have ordered my New Year supplies with my Christmas accessories, but then everything gets confusing for me. I need that compartmentalized view of everything so I don’t start mixing up holidays at the last minute.

We start with all of the essentials when planning for our New Year party. When you go to a New Year party what do you always see? Confetti, horns, hats, and fun wearable party supplies of all shapes, sizes, and colors. While we get most of our plates and tableware in individual packages from the Green Warehouse, we usually get all of the stuff that everyone will want, in bulk. We get the big bags of confetti, along with a balloon drop or two, and hundreds of balloons so that we can have a completely amazing aesthetic experience as the clock strikes midnight and a gentle rain of confetti and balloons falls from the ceiling to add color to the entire room in a matter of minutes. While everything is falling from the ceiling we love to toast with champagne glasses; well, plastic champagne glasses. We get bulk catering glasses so everyone can get some champagne without having to worry about dropped and broken glasses throughout the night. Since we always get our New Year party supplies from Partypro, we figure that the party experts must have some good advise regarding how to use all of the party supplies that they offer, so we look through all of Partypro’s party ideas that range from decorating and accessorizing, to how to entertain our guests with ease.

While Christmas and New Year are pretty tightly packed together, Partypro always makes sure that we can afford to celebrate in style without having to worry about the budget. If you want to take advantage of Free Shipping you need to order soon. My wife and I love this site, and we have always been happy to call customer service to get help if there is anything that isn’t clear. Start taking a look today at all of the supplies they have to offer and start the New Year off right with New Year discount party supplies and other goodies that are available to everyday people like you and me at great prices.

Saving Money During the Christmas Party Prep

- Posted on November 30, 2009

While I am still waking up from my turkey induced coma I realize that Christmas is practically around the corner. Now, I know that there are still 26 days until the jolly man in red delivers all of my most desired treasures, but it is never too early to start getting ready. My wife and I already put up the general Christmas decorations in the house on Thanksgiving morning (despite a string of lights that started on fire: everything is fine), and now we need to start getting ready for the big Christmas party. As I said before, I can order all of my supplies in the middle of the Summer if I want, but like most people, while being a perfectionist, I am not unfamiliar with procrastination. Therefore, I am now trying to get everything ordered so I can take advantage of Free Shipping on my Christmas party supplies from the Green Warehouse. I started to put decorations and accessories in my cart on the day after Thanksgiving, but I need to make the final decisions and get the order placed. Partypro’s Free Shipping generally takes 7-10 business days to arrive after processing through the warehouse and being shipped, but I cannot tell you how many times I get the order only a few days after it has been placed. They only gurantee the time frame provided on their calendar at checkout, but it always has the ability to arrive earlier.

In addition to my Christmas party preparations, I also start getting ready for my wife and my New Year party. Our New Year party revolves more around friends and co-workers than family so it tends to be a little larger than our other parties. Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of Free Shipping for my New Year party supplies despite the size of the party. You are probably thinking, “Why not, you surely buy more than $50 worth of party supplies and you have more than enough time for delivery?” Well… I do spend over $50 but I get all of my New Year party supplies in bulk so I can get more for less. When you have to buy gifts, food, supplies, and everything in between you will want to buy in bulk. There is a minimum for the bulk warehouses, but unlike the other companies that make your spend $100’s before you can order, there are low minimums for everyday people like me. The Red and Bronze have must meet minimums, but if you need the supplies and you spend up to the minimum, there is no problem. Basically I love being able to get all of my New Year party decorations at wholesale prices. Without those prices I would never be able to celebrate life to the extent that I do.

I know that all of this talk about warehouses and getting ready for the holidays can feel overwhelming, but I guarantee you that if you just pace yourself and give the warehouses a chance they will save you more money that you can imagine. If you are having a tough time, or you want more details on a product you can contact them or talk to them through Twitter or on Facebook today. I have to go so I keep on track with my Christmas and New Year party planning, but I hope you have a great day and are able to have fun. Come visit again soon.

Day After Thanksgiving Madness…and Fun

- Posted on November 27, 2009

Our Thanksgiving party went off without a hitch, and it was a blast for the whole family. As I mentioned in the past, all of our party supplies got here in time, the food was delicious, and everyone arrived at our house safely; for what more could you ask? Today is the craziest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. The day of the year when your fellow man is your worst enemy as a stampede heads towards the electronics section of every major chain store. Not only to celebrate still being alive after the madness, but to eat some left-overs, we continue our Thanksgiving party into the afternoon for lunch and into the evening for dinner. This gets rid of left-overs while keeping the festive spirits high.

If I feel up to it today (i.e. the day after Thanksgiving in general, not just today) I will probably start looking through Partypro’s selection of Christmas party supplies to see what I want to use as the theme this year. Yesterday morning my wife and I decided to start the tradition of watching the parade while decorating for Christmas. It worked wonderfully, so I think that looking for this year’s Christmas party’s party supplies from the comfort of my home on the day after Thanksgiving will work out just right. I am not a fan of big crowds, so to be able to look online at all of the party decorations I need for my party, suits me fine.

Today is also a great day to get ready for our New Year party which will be a blast, let me tell you. Our home turns into a revolving door this time of year with family and friends coming over for parties. Luckily, with the amazing prices I find on New Year party supplies at partypro.com, I’m able to get all of the supplies I need while staying under budget to afford food and other party “extras”. The New Year is so wonderful. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve are probably the 3 best celebrations of the year; and I could not be more happy to be able to afford all of the party supplies I need for each of these parties so I can celebrate the wonderful holidays with family and friends. You should head over and find out if they have what you want to make your party amazing. Have a great day, and start your journey to amazing end of year celebrations today.

Thanksgiving Party Tomorrow

- Posted on November 25, 2009

Filed under: Christmas Party Supplies, Discount Party Supplies, Thanksgiving Party Supplies — Party Supplies Pro @ 2:11 pm

Wow! I can’t believe the Thanksgiving party is tomorrow. I got all of the Thanksgiving party supplies I needed for the party in more than enough time, and now I’m just taking time away from decorating with my wife, to let all of you know how great this party is going to be. After saving so much money on our party decorations, we went and got all of the food we need to feed the family that is coming over tomorrow. My wife and I are so excited to be able to share this holiday with our families combined.

It is too bad that almost as soon as Thanksgiving is over, we will have to start preparing for Christmas. We started ordering our Christmas party supplies for the annual Christmas party a couple weeks back to get ahead after Thanksgiving. Well, since this will be the first year that my wife and I throw the Christmas party it will be the start of the annual Christmas party. We saved so much for Thanksgiving, and we are excited to be able to throw a stylish party without denting our budget. From what I see so far, we will be saving quite a bit compared to what we ordered last year from another party company at Christmas. I love taking advantage of the Free Shipping and the wholesale prices. It is sad that they cannot be used together, but I am getting such a great deal I barely even notice the price differences.

I love the holidays for the celebrations and for the family time, but everything is so rushed that it is hard to have fun sometimes. I know my family will have a great Thanksgiving with all of the party supplies we got this year, and I hope that you are able to have a great time this Thanksgiving with family and friends while expressing how thankful you are for all of the little things in life. Happy Thanksgiving and have a great day.

A Birthday Party Amongst The Holidays

- Posted on November 20, 2009

It is always sad to me when Children are born during the holiday season. Well it isn’t sad at the time because it is a blessing and an amazing “Christmas present” for the parents, but throughout the child’s life he/she probably won’t have big birthday parties that other children have, because of the financial tension of the holiday season. This is the case with my wife’s little sister. Her sister was born a few days before Christmas, so she doesn’t get big, fun birthday parties because Christmas is right around the corner, and everyone is trying to save. Especially in the last two years things have been extra tight due to the economy. This year will be different.

I have saved so much and had so much luck with Partypro for my party needs, I passed their name along to my in-laws with hopes that they would be able to save on their party supplies for the holidays. You can imagine my joy when I found out that they not only ordered all of the Christmas party supplies for the family Christmas party that they host every year, but they were able to afford birthday party supplies for my wife’s little sister’s birthday party. Since their order was over $50 in what Partypro calls the Green Warehouse (all of the individually sold party supplies), they were able to take advantage of Free Shipping on their order. They also bought many of their party supplies in bulk since they have such a large family. They had to pay for shipping on the bulk party supplies, but the money that they saved with the wholesale prices, more than made up for what they paid for shipping. My sister-in-law has no idea that a party is on the way, and I can’t wait to see her face when everyone shouts, “Surprise!”

It can be tough to celebrate a birthday during the holiday season, but with the amazing prices that Partypro offers on all of their party supplies throughout the year, you can afford to celebrate any occasion in style. You can also stay ahead of the holiday rush by ordering your seasonal or birthday party supplies at a convenient time of year for you. Don’t live based on a store’s schedule. Live based on your schedule and convenience. Partypro carries everything year round, so you can order the party supplies you want, when you want, without a worry. If you know someone who has a birthday during the holidays, make their holidays even more special by celebrating their birthday in style this year. Get ready for fun this year. I have all of the party supplies I need for my parties this holiday - do you?

Christmas Party Around the Corner

- Posted on November 18, 2009

Filed under: Christmas Party Supplies, Discount Party Supplies, Party Supplies, Party Supply — Party Supplies Pro @ 7:52 am

I can’t believe how fast this year has been moving. It seems like a few days ago we were cleaning up after our Halloween party, and now our Thanksgiving party is only a few days away and we couldn’t be more excited. But, just like Halloween blew past to reveal Thanksgiving, we are going to be feeling the same way about Christmas after we are done with our Thanksgiving party. Before we know it, we will be celebrating with friends and family at our Christmas party still feeling full from our big Thanksgiving meal.

With how quickly time has been going, my wife and I are relieved that we have already placed an order for all of our Christmas party supplies a couple of weeks ago, before the Thanksgiving and Christmas rush started. Not only did we place the order, but it arrived before the scheduled delivery date, so we don’t have to worry about the order getting lost on the way to our house. We always order our party supplies from Partypro.com because they are prompt with their shipping, and they always do their best to make everything great for our parties; not to mention, I still haven’t found lower prices anywhere else. Since our family Christmas party is going to be so large we were able to order all of our Christmas party supplies in bulk quantities to save extra money for the holidays; that means more gifts and stocking goodies for my wife and the rest of the family. There is nothing worse at Christmas than spending all of your money on Christmas decorations and missing out on gifts. With discount party decorations from Partypro, we always have more than enough left over for gifts.

Relax and celebrate Thanksgiving this year with friends and family, but remember to keep your wits about you, because Christmas and the New Year are kiddie corner to Thanksgiving. If you haven’t started getting ready, start today with discount party supplies for all of the end of year holidays. Remember to use their shopping cart to figure out if it is cheaper for you to buy a few party supplies in bulk at wholesale prices, or to buy your party supplies from their Green Warehouse which has great, discount prices and Free Shipping. Depending on what you’re buying you will want to compare and find out how to save the most this year. Have fun and celebrate today.
