Party World

I go to Party World for their greeting card selection, which is the most extensive I have seen in NYC. The staff is helpful and friendly. Once I was looking for shoe polish and the saleslady walked me to the exact place in the store where it was. This is not just a party store — they have many other items as well. A fun place to explore!

Having a party supply store within walking distance of home has proven convenient many times over. It is cluttered, with the feel of wandering an old, discount store that sells everything you didn’t think you need; the aisles are narrow but very high ceilings keep the place from feeling claustrophobic. Staff are helpful when asked.
Party World has all the basics expected of a party store, with aisles devoted to themed party supplies (plates, napkins, cups, decorations) for the current holiday and other major occasions (birthday, showers, graduations), cards and gift wrap, all manners of serving ware (cups, utensils, plates and bowls, pitchers), tablecloths, decorations, costume accessories, boxes and gift bags, party favors, and balloons up front. They will probably carry what’s needed, but not always, as a recent trip for plastic pitchers for serving and blank cardboard tags turned up empty.
It fulfills its purpose, even if the actual shopping experience is utilitarian. For large quantities, big box places like Costco will be more cost effective but for smaller events, this place is a great resource for miscellaneous supplies.

This store has saved me so many times, especially for little last minute items I forgot I needed for a craft project at work, like craft sticks… They have everything! Their party supplies are a bit overpriced, but aren’t all small businesses? You’re paying for convenience!

A hidden gem. There have a wide array of various supplies at very cheap prices. I also have always found customer service to be great.

This place is the worst. I went to return plates that I didn’t use and they wouldn’t take them back because they had leaves on them for fall and she said it’s Christmas now. Not only would she not take them back, but she was rude, saying, ‘Why you bring them back now?!? It’s Christmas!!’ Extremely unprofessional. I explained I bought them for a class party and didn’t use them. Two other customers, one in retail, were there, saying that she should take them back or at least let me exchange them for something. I told the women that I spend a lot of money there for my children’s school. She wouldn’t take them back, and I assured her that I wouldn’t be back and I’d let all of my friends know about the their terrible policy. I hope she’s excited about the $ 8 she just kept in her register. It’s the last $ 8 she’ll get from me.

This place is the jam! I typically come here for the balloon selection but they have all the party favors for every theme you could think of. The staff is nice and prompt with getting you rung up and out the door (in the kindest way). I have no complaints about this place other than it’s cluttered and a bit on the tired side but nonetheless you will find what you need.

really inexpensive but the service is terrible.

This place saved me a trip to Party City today!
A bit crowded, but I think that’s expected for this type of store. The prices are fair and they had what I was looking for (a sombrero as a gag gift) even though it was well past Cinco de Mayo.
The store also had a ton of pool toys, kids toys, candy and household items in addition to party and packing supplies. I’ll definitely keep it in mind the next time I need a random miscellaneous item.

Terrible. Gross inside. Crappy selection for kids unless you’re looking for junky, licensed character stuff. Flies. Crackling loud music. Nothing good to say.

normally, if I’m having a party, I’ll hit up Costco for supplies. but sometimes you don’t need 5000 Standard Red Party Cups.
enter Party World!
the prices are cheap and the selection is pretty tough to beat. you can find party favors in all sizes, shapes, colors, material, and quantity. aside from cheap throwaway items like utensils and plates, there are even some more durable plastic or glass items.
the aisles are fairly organized: dinner/​drinking, kids’ birthdays, religious events, and so on. there’s a ton of discounted greeting cards, and a few aisles worth of random dollar store stuff too.

This place has really gone down hill!!!
I walked passed by it the other day and I thought it was closed because they taped up the front windows with paper.
The store is big but messy and dirty everything in there looks used. They overcharge for all the party essentials and the selection is poor. It’s sad because it used to be a great party store but I guess the owners have done a pretty terrible job maintaining their store and don’t keep up with ordering new merchandise.

I did all my Halloween costume/​decoration shopping at Party World. They have a great variety of products and the prices are cheap or at least reasonable. In my experience, the service has always been fast and friendly.

the best party store ever in town! You can basically find everything you need to throw your party, from party supplies to homeware, hardware, glassware, kitchenware… everything you need. This place is amazing. The staff are very helpful and attentive. I realized the price here are cheaper than other party stores and they have amazing selections on balloons. I went in to get a dozen of balloons and it only took them less than 10 mins to finished, where I have to wait for like half an hr at other party stores.

And if you ever need to rock a party, Party & Gifts Superstore Corporation is the perfect stop for all your party planning needs.
Thanks to the strangeness of Queens addresses, Google Maps indicates that this location is on 75^th Road but in reality, the Superstore is between 70^th road and 70^th avenue, south side of Queens Boulevard.
Logistics aside, you can find just about anything here related to throwing a party. Napkins, plates, utensils, table clothes, bowls, decorations, plastic gloves and more. (In multiple colors!)
If you ever need to ship your party, there are plenty of packing materials available here at reasonable prices. Small padded envelopes for 89 cents are my mainstay for shipping online sales.
A box of 30 christmas cards was just purchased for $ 7.42, 50% off the price on the box.
You can even buy light bulbs here, glassware, bathtub curtains, balloons, halloween costumes (in season), etc. This place is the duct tape or WD40 of party stores: just about anything can be found here.
And the staff has been helpful to me in my hours of party supply need. Can’t quite find the right sized napkin in black? The employees have an incredible mental map of where items are located and have always identified the exact location in less than 30 seconds. No small feat for such a large store.
Forest Hills likes to rock the party!

Wow, I’m surprised no one’s reviewed this place yet.
Perhaps it’s because the name is too long or the fact it’s a but dusty/​dingy and warehouse-​like inside. But regardless this is a GREAT Party Store and even better Halloween Store!
The merchandise is the same quality you would find at any other party store but considerably less $. For example, an adult Halloween costume I saw at another party store for $ 50+ may run from $ 35 – 45 here. A Halloween wig I saw at Ricky’s for $ 19.99 is $ 12.99 here. Now don’t expect a HUGE collection of Halloween items here, they have a fair amount. But party wise I’m sure you will find everything you need.
