This year marks the first ever friends birthday party my 6 year old is having. We went with Pirate…read morethemed, not Pirates of the Carribean, just pirates. They had pinatas, plates and cups (2 for $3.50) table cloths, etc. The selection is not as vast as I thought it would be, very few games, more novelty goody bag junk, and honestly if you have the time and planning visiting Oriental Trading Company will save you on the hats, costumes, etc. They also have a larger selection. This is a great last minute place though. The line was a little long and hot as heck in the store this past week.

This is actually Party City, since at least 2008, but the prices and concept are all the same. Good…read moreparty supplies at reasonable prices. You can get a hundred polystyrene plates for around $10, and a huge box of plastic ware for about $15. What they have online is not always available in store. But sign up for their email list, and you'll get really good coupons to use online and in store. And I've gotten amazeballs deals at their sidewalk sale. The employees at this location are always very helpful, even when you're in the middle of a bridal breakdown. The location can be tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area. Google maps is wrong, the store is between Jefferson Ave. & Aurora Ave. on the east side of Rt. 59.

Avoid this location, especially if the tall, older middle-aged woman with shoulder-length auburn…read morehair is working. She had her coworker go on lunch, let a customer who was shopping alongside me in the store cut the line to blow up her balloon, then 30 seconds later was incredibly rude and snippy to me, claiming no other balloons would be inflated for at least 30 minutes. She did not apologize for the inconvenience or make any other attempts at basic customer service. The people next door at the dollar tree, who were even busier than Party City at the time, were incredibly nice, helpful, and customer-service driven. You're better off walking 200 feet and getting your balloons there.

We went in with the hopes that they would help us get ballon's and items for our own gender reveal.. and they did just that! We gave the staff the envelope from our Dr office that had the gender, and asked them to pick out a few gender related items that we could use ourselves. Really thankful that it went well and the staff was so kind. We don't have family out in IL, so we did this as a surprise to ourselves!

I think it's a very nice store. Items inside are very reasonable and it kind of reminds me of a…read moremixture of Five Below, Dollar General, Marshalls etc. They do have really cute decorations for whatever holiday is coming up. The Easter stuff was very cute.

Shop smart because some items here were bargains but I could have gotten the same things elsewhere for cheaper. Staff was really friendly and helpful: saying hello to everyone who came in, and helping me with my self checkout (I had an item that rang up incorrectly, and one that had a strange price tag on the shelf because it was one of the last ones: see photo). I found gifts, candy, a blind bag, a notepad, chip clips, shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste for under $40. Worth checking out!

She had an excellent eye for detail and extremely organized (she sent me weekly email status updates and action items to do). She was able to negotiate great deals with the vendors and directly dealt with them which was amazing to get off my plate. I also had certain things that I wanted for the party (i.e. i try to be as sustainable as i can do that meant little waste, compostable plates, etc) and Fazia was able to source these items that met this demand (ie the plates matched the color theme and were cute!). Further, Fazia was very responsive. The theme, colors and vision came out so well. I definitely would work with Fazia again.

So much so, we will be using Rose Lane for my next event which is my bridal shower.
