Essential Party Checklist

It's party time! You've got friends and family coming over for some fantastic festivities - but where do you start?

Party Pieces has you covered, with our definitive checklist to make your party stand out above the rest!

Decorations

Put your stamp on your party and make it one your guests will remember, by decorating in style. With our huge range of stylish banners, balloons, garlands and more, you can really "make it your own".

Balloons and Helium

Balloons are some of the most essential party decorations. If you fill them with helium, your guests won't be able to speak highly enough of them!

Take it one step further by personalising your balloon with your name or a special message.

Bunting and garlands

Whether it's a children's party, family bash or a more sophisticated soirée, you can always take your decorating up a notch with some well-placed bunting.

🎈 Infuse some pastel colours with a 'happy birthday' foil balloon garland for £5.99.

🌺 Take a tiki tilt with a tropical garland. Adorned with artificial flowers and tiki lanterns, it's perfect for an outdoor evening party or for fiesta fun indoors. Get yours for only £7.99.

Personalised Banners

Make your party really unique, with your very own customised banners.

Add a name, pictures, messages and more - for a lasting souvenir of your special celebration.

At just £14.99, our personalised banners are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Food and Drink Essentials

Serve up a storm for your guests - either with a buffet or a sit-down meal.

However you plan to feed your partygoers, we've got a huge range of platters, cutlery, and tableware to suit all occasions.

Plates and Cutlery

The decorating doesn't have to stop at bunting. Bring some glitter and colour to the dinner table, with gold paper trays, funky boho spice floral plates, or even snazzy dinosaur-shaped paper plates.

Keep the environment in mind and ditch the plastic forks. Check out our range of wooden cutlery, featuring a variety of colourful designs.

Cups, jugs and straws

Once the food is sorted, you can turn your attention to drinks!

For what some might say is the most important part of a party, your guests will enjoy sipping their drinks from an array of bright, bold, and eco-friendly paper cups.

Make refreshing cocktails or mocktails to cool partygoers, in a reusable pitcher for just £3.99.

Then, top it off with striped, glittery, or decorated straws from only £1.99 per pack.

Party Games

No party is complete without some games!

Fortunately, we've got you covered with a fantastic selection of fun-filled family favourites and crowd pleasers.

Outdoor party games

Depending on the time of year, you might wish to take advantage of the ideal weather and host your party in the sunshine. If so, you'll need outstanding outdoor games that your guests can enjoy while they soak in some rays!

Piñatas

A firm party staple for centuries, a well-placed piñata is sure to prove popular with partygoers of all ages. It's the perfect party game, regardless of whether your venue is indoors or outside.

Let your guests get stuck in, as they whack their way to some tasty treats!

Photo booth

Make memories that will last a lifetime, literally, by offering your guests somewhere to capture the moment in real-time.

A simple photo booth can spark creativity, be a great laugh, and produce pictures that are looked back on for decades.

Create the ultimate selfie station at your event with our customisable photo booth frame, for only £17.99.

Add an incredible backdrop, such as our impressive pastel gold streamers and balloons set, or a pink and lilac tissue paper disc backdrop.

Photo Booth props

Now you've got your photo booth set up, you'll need some of our fantastic props to get your guests' imaginations going!

From all of us at Party Pieces, we hope you have a fantastic celebration. Don’t forget, you can choose next-day delivery for speedy parcels, so you can be party-ready in no time!
