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.

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!

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!

I LOVE Rainbow Magic and Phyllis!

You will get the BEST pricing and service here (believe me I know - I've used a lot of event decorators over the years) and now whenever I have an event, I make one call: to Phyllis at Rainbow Magic.

Wait staff was running in and out like their life depended on it but unavailable to address the needs of the table, could not even get water refills which should be the bare minimum much less obtain a soda or cream for the coffee. Wine service was non-existent - a single pour and the bar staff disappeared yet I paid a pretty penny to have consistent wine service for dinner. The staff decided to take down table arrangements and all other decorations a solid hour and a half before the end of the event. They literally reached over guests conversing at tables to remove the center pieces. I could keep adding things which occurred but I think you get the overall incompetence and unprofessionalism of the evening When I spoke to management about my disappointment I was informed me that nothing they had done impacted my guests enjoyment and they did not understand why I felt they had not delivered what had been promise/presented at the tasting. They even tried to gaslight me that certain events had not occurred despite the fact that I had been there and witnessed them happening.
