What We Love

What is Party Partners all about?
In the words of the Founder and President, Timothy Siciliano:

Party Partners started in 1998. inspired by my collection of vintage Halloween, holiday and party ephemera. We launched our first line of vintage-inspired Halloween party decorations in 1999. Martha Stewart Catalog featured our "Halloween lanterns" and we were placed on the cover of their catalog for the Halloween season. The product sold out.

Halloween is what really launched our company. Really we're a couple of artist illustrators with a romance for cool retro party products and had no idea how to start a company that manufactures products! So we were like the "Little Red Hen". "Hello, we have this really cool idea to produce vintage Halloween products and who wants to help?"

Everything came together, more or less. And, of course our first foray into manufacturing the product arrived all wrong and we had to replace the light bulbs of 10,000 Halloween lanterns to fulfill the orders...it was nuts and hilarious in retrospect. The 40 ft shipping container full of Halloween lanterns showed up at our studio door. Our mouths dropped! We had no concept as to the volume of 10,000 3-d paper Halloween lanterns! That's ALOT! So, that was the begining.

10 years later, we've been featured in Country Living Magazine, HGTV, Good Housekeeping, Cookie, Parents, Martha Stewart Kids and Weddings, distributed in Japan and Australia. Our simple, whimsical, retro flavor of party goods is missing in the bigger party market, so we fill that niche, especially for kids.

Our products are kid friendly, inexpensive, mostly recyclable (paper and reuseable felt items), fun, and NOT a licensed Disney character etc. You go to Party Express if you need Hannah Montana and you go to partypartnershop.com for silly surprise balls, festive fun fringe, party hats and horns! We offer time tested classic party goods.
