5 Stars! A Birthday Place Saves the Party (and My Sanity!)

A Birthday Place is a lifesaver for anyone who throws parties or hosts any kind of event! They're a local gem, so whenever I need last-minute decorations, cupcake liners, or even candles, I know I can zip down and grab exactly what I need.

But they're so much more than just a party supply store! Their staff is incredible. They helped me brainstorm themes for my friend's birthday party and even ordered in some special decorations that I couldn't find anywhere else. They have even made beautiful, personalized cupcake and cake toppers for several bdays for us! It's like having a party planning fairy godmother on hand!

They also have this amazing party space downstairs. It's a blank canvas, so you can really personalize it for your event. It's perfect for anyone who wants to host a party but doesn't have the space at home.

I also try to attend all of their local vendor markets that they host in-store! They are huge supporters of the community and other small businesses. I always find myself buying bracelets, earrings, or treats from other small businesses that they sell at their location.

Plus, they're open 7 days a week, which is practically unheard of for a small business these days. They're always friendly and helpful, no matter how crazy my party planning gets.

Thank you, A Birthday Place, for making party planning a breeze (and for rescuing me from those...

Not a good experience at all. I placed an order over a week ago and hadn’t gotten a single update. I was worried because I had ordered the last of what I needed to complete my son’s birthday cake from them. I never heard anything and I finally sent an email and I was then told they hadn’t shipped anything because I needed to pay a difference on a cake topper. I was upset and frustrated because of there was a price listed online and I paid it, why do you get to go back and say you want more money for it? The cake image was priced for $11.99 and they asked me to pay a difference of $10.51. It’s unethical and it’s not right especially considering that for a cake image and two small bottles of icing my total was already $34. I told them they should honor the price and then since I was so upset about it I just told them to cancel the order which they did. Still waiting on my refund. So days before my son’s birthday I have nothing for his cake so that’s cool. Do some research and shop around before you land here or you’ll be like me, scrambling to figure out how you’re going to make someone’s special...
