Factory Card & Party Outlet

People who have birthdays at the beginning of the month always throw me for a loop. Just as I’m wrapping up the past 30 days, I turn the page in my planner and BAM! there’s a birthday sneaking up in a few days. And there’s me… without a card.
I usually craft cards for my friends from scratch but when I’m in a bind, Factory Card Outlet has my back. With four huge aisles of greeting cards for every occasion, I always find what I’ve come for and then some. Surprisingly, they have many tasteful cards: aesthetically pleasing with a not-​too-​sappy, not-​too-​corny message inside. All of their cards are 49 cents or 99 cents.
They also have aisles of party decorations for weddings, bachelorette parties, themed birthdays, milestone birthdays (16^th, 21^st, 40^th) and themed parties in general. It offers the same huge selection of items as Party City but for half of the price. Everything in the store is under $ 10.00. I’d even say 80% of the merchandise is under $ 5.00. I was especially pleased to find a new tiny hat for only 49 cents!
For $ 2.50, I left the store with two birthday cards and the tiny hat, thus saving my reputation as an awesome, thoughtful friend for another year.

This store is always a mess. Piles on top of piles of party decorations and goodies clutter the large store, huge bins hold clearance items from past due holidays.
While the store lacks organization, it does have almost every type of party dcor you could ever need. Throwing a luau in December and in search of cheap Hawaiian-​print tees and leis? You’ll find them. Celebrating a milestone 21^st, 40^th, or 50^th birthday? Pick up gear for the one celebrating to make them stand out in the crowd. Planning a bachelor or bachelorette party? You’ll find boas, banners, games, and tiaras here! This is the Forever 21 of the Party Outlet world, you’ll have to spend time searching but you’ll make out with the goods at low prices.
This store has a huge selection of helium balloons to fill your needs for any occasion and I’ve never had to wait to get one blown up, I’ve never even had to stand in a line at this store. You’ll also find every shade of crêpe paper and hundreds of varieties of gift wraps.
