Party Supplies
How to choose party supplies
Invitations
paper is light and flexible, cardstock holds a firmer shape, so choose based on how the piece will be displayed.
Party & Celebration
wood or cotton lasts but adds weight, paper or card is easier to hang but less robust.
Arts & Entertainment
latex bends with movement, acrylic keeps form but may feel rigid against skin.
Party Streamers & Curtains
plastic resists tears, paper is lighter but frays if pulled.
Colour
every sub-type sticks to the same palette (white, pink, blue, brown, black, green, silver, gold, red, grey), so confirm your theme fits before picking a type.
What's good
- Party & Celebration items include cotton, wood or card builds, giving decor that handles repeated use better than thin paper.
- Invitations come in paper, card or cardstock, so you can match a colour like pink, blue or gold to your event scheme.
- Arts & Entertainment pieces use acrylic, latex or plastic, which suit wearable items that need flexibility during play.
- Party Streamers & Curtains are available in plastic or paper, with colours from grey to red, letting you cover a room quickly.
Things to watch
- Paper and cardstock invitations crease if bent, and they lack the sturdiness of wood or plastic alternatives.
- Latex or plastic in Arts & Entertainment can feel less special than cotton or wood keepsake decor.
- Items listed with gold or silver as the material can be softer than wood or plastic, so they may mark with handling.
- Paper Party Streamers & Curtains tear under strain, while plastic versions resist rips but feel less tactile.
Care & maintenance
Invitations
Keep card and paper invitations flat in a dry spot to stop warping.
General
Wipe plastic or acrylic pieces with a damp cloth, and avoid strong chemicals.
Decor
Dust cotton or wood decor with a soft brush, and store away from damp.
Streamers
Roll streamers loosely rather than folding to prevent crisp creases.
