I got to the store and they had arranged ribbon and balloon ties for me as asked. The store manager was super helpful and even carried the canister outside for me. I dropped the canister off this afternoon and he processed the refund of my deposit instantly. Would 100% use them again

Searching for helium I hadn't even thought of that randomly placed party shop on Musgrave Road that I'll admit I used to wander in my lunch break sometimes in my previous job (you know to get ideas). As well as helium tank hire ($69.95 for 50 balloons) this shop has possibly everything you'd think you want and more for parties for a multitude of occasions. 1920s flapper? Check. Fake blood for a Zombie walk? Check. Random paper plates and what not? Check. Keep these guys in mind next time you need anything remotely party orientated!

The staff who work here are passionate about their job, you can tell. They're there for you to help you with your costume picking. If you ask them, they would be happy to suggest some costumes that could work and alternatives to match any budget. This costume store is filled with many accessories like jewellery, wigs, shoes, hats, toy weapons and an array of clothing. You can rent costumes or you can buy them, the choice is yours. Some of the rentable options are a bit worn down, but you can still find a lot of other options. Parking in this area can be a hassle, but luckily Cracker Jack Costume & Party Supplies have a designated parking area for it's customers around the back. I'd highly recommend this costume place for the next fancy dress party.

The costs are bulk, so cheaper than anywhere else as well, schools come here to load up on supplies for kids for sport days, fundraisers and whatnot. Best of all, it's all good to the public too. With a wide selection of your American soft drinks like A&W Root Beer, Fanta's, Dr Peppers and all the good stuff you will not be disappointed. Reece's pieces? Easy peasy. Jolly ranchers if they mean anything to you locals... get educated on your jelly belly's. Fill up your own wizz fizz concoction of different flavours and colours of all things sugar and nice. They have also just expanded the store to include party supplies, hats, masks, those things you hit with a stick and have lollies fall out of... halloween broom sticks, decorations for princess and pirate parties... it's crazy! I love it. It's crazy love. It's crazy love on a sugar high. Did I mention they had face paint for kids too?

Even back in the late 90s when my birthday came around, I was to be found on our hulking IBM computer make invitations with coloured, comic sans-style fonts and the ever-classy clip art. They usually said corny things like IT'S PARTY TIME! If only Invitation House had existed in those days, and I could have saved myself some Microsoft Word-related embarrassment. Luckily, Invitation House opened not long before my 18th birthday and so I finally had access to more than Windows 95 to create my masterpiece. When you go in you'll see the the walls are floor to ceiliing stacks of paper and card of varying patterns, colours, and textures. They have sheer overlay sheets, cute pins and embellishments, ribbons, and stamps. You can pick out what you want and dream up your own invitation, or the staff can help you. You can also pay them to assemble them all for you, or take your supplies home and do it yourself. Since my 18th I have also used Invitation House's wares to make 21st invites for me and for friends' parties, and often pop in to buy some nice paper or card if I'm making something special. Such a great idea for a shop, and I bet they do great business because it's such a niche market. Well done, Invitation House!

Stickers, pens, writing pads, stamps, you name it I love it! I am unashamedly geeky in that sense. So Invitation House, which funnily enough specialises in invitations, got a little excited squeal from me as I walked through their doors. Floor to ceiling shelves of different sorts of paper. Embossed, bridal, paper with cupcakes on it, floral, dinosaurs, oriental and SO much more. There is literally paper for any occasion here. It's stunning quality and averages around $1.00-$1.50 per piece so depending on the size of the event you're hosting it could become quite expensive. In my opinion though, receiving a paper invitation in this digital age is a little taste of the past, and it sets the tone for whatever the event is that the invitation is for. If you are getting married, having an important birthday celebration or hosting some sort of event which requires an old-school invitation, I definitely suggest popping in to Invitation House for some inspiration.
