Party Box

They are absolutely the BEST! Creative, Helping, Accommodating. Spacial Thank you to Jacque for the most creative center pieces. Phenomenal! and Gail for doing all the extra work on the short notice most of the time. If you’re considering invitations, party favors or just general advice for your party, look no further. Party Box is your One Stop Shop. Thank you again.

I just want to say this review is for balloon delivery services!!!
Party Box was absolutely wonderful to deal with!!! They arrived early with my balloons and the gentleman who set them up was wonderful, quick and polite. Everything looked beautiful!!! I will definitely use them again in the future.

I have been a loyal customer of the Party Box for over 30 years and their customer service is exceptional; each and every encounter I have with them. We purchase all of our party supplies there all the time. When my children were younger we went straight to the party box for Halloween costumes. In addition they have always exceeded my expectations for all of our party planning needs. From invitations to baby and wedding shower favors. They even filled the bags for our out of town guests for my daughters wedding.
I have tried other stores but none offer the service and vast selection. Whenever I am planning to come to the store I call ahead to make sure the owners are there as I find them exceptionally knowledgeable & helpful. PARTY BOX you are number 1!

I am getting married this summer and ordered my wedding invitations at the Party Box. The customer service is impeccable! They had 10+ albums to look through. There was a very nice lady who patiently went through a multitude of albums as I sifted through each invitation and then patiently went back to many of the albums due to my indecisiveness. She was very knowledgeable in terms of specific invitation details. Not only did the invitations come on time, but the Party Box printed all my guests mailing addresses on the envelopes without a single mistake.
I told my future mother-​in-​law about my experience at the Party Box and she placed my Bridal Shower balloon order from the Party Box. The balloons were beautiful! They made my favorite ones with the bubbles.
This is a great local business in an area overrun by chain party stores.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY… this is the most poorly run, unorganized, dirty, messy, unfriendliest, nastiest store in the state. I’m shoked they are in business and mostly likey still in business because they fool unknowing customers. The owners are an elderly couple that have zero customer service and are just plain rude. Do not bring your children there either, the older gentleman, and I’m stretching the word gentleman, is grumpy and will get real nasty with them.

I am an event planner. I have been in the business for over 10 years it is not very often that I have bad experiences because I feel most experiences are based on your approach BUT not this time… On last week a very reputable bakery referred me to Party Box… Although the manager Jackie was very pleasant the owner Stephen is terrible. After spending $ 1500.00 on balloons you would think that they would be a little flexible with delivery. I know the delivery was out of the area but distance from the storr to the hotel is on 15miles. I assured Stephen parking would not be a problem. I explained my client and myself live in another state and Party Box came highly recommended and still he did not budge. Had this been a chain store honestly I would have been a bit bitheres but I would have understood but its not. Stephen is the owner and makes all the calls, I was not asking for free delivery just a delivery, he refused. Unfortunately for him I am well connected in the party scene and although maybe local individuals have no choice but to use him myself and my celebrity client base will NEVER. Also we will spread the word…
Sometimes just a little will go a long way.

Employees looked bored. Didn’t pay attention to customers. I had to run after a lady to help me although I attempted to ask her for help when she was right in front of me. There was one lady that stopped me and asked me if I needed help. She walked me to the specific section I needed. She gets 5 stars.

I stopped in to compare prices and to shop for an upcoming event. I was disappointed in the small selection of candy including broken and melted lollipops-​but-​I thought it might just be an off day and I was happy to find a local vendor that I might consider for future events.
I saw the sign that business discounts were available & tried to sign up-​but the discount is not available until it is ‘approved’ at a later date. I was confused since a business discount is just that… a discount for a business. NOTE: I noticed they have a coupon on their website. It would have been good customer service to offer that while I waited for «approval.»
In response to the reviewer who defends the poor service provided by hourly employees who work for small business… Plenty of professionals have started with our company at an hourly rate and through their work with us have earned fantastic recommendations and moved on to well paying positions at larger organizations as a result of their excellent attitude, top-​notch service and their over-​the-​top dedication.
In the process of working to improve our company and treat our clients well; they have improved their own careers.
Life is all about doing the right thing at any rate at all times as if a job is worth doing-​it is worth doing with a good heart. When you enjoy your work-​good will is your reward and you may be surprised to find that monetary rewards follow as well.

ALWAYS THE FIRST PARTY STORE I GO TO WHEN I HAVE AN EVENT PLANNED! not only is this store close to my house but it offers a great discount! in August I had planned my daughter’s first birthday I compared prices online for a variety of things that I knew I needed for her party, and in the end this place was the cheapest. I have come here many times before and also use the coupons that they send out in the Valpak mail… I also like that it’s a very clean store and most of the time its empty except for around Halloween… the only downfall is that they never seem to have enough staff, which becomes an issue when the store does have people in it… Their balloon creations are also a little pricey though (the arches, etc.)

The Party Box has been around forever. I remember them being in a very small building on Rt 17 in Rochelle Park, across from Manero’s Steak House, way back when I was a kid. I’m not sure when they moved to their current location (which is in Lodi, NOT Hasbrouck Hts) but it was before Party City was even in northern NJ.
They have a large selection of everything you need for your party. The prices in Party Box are comparable to Party City. I purchased things for my son’s graduation party in both and believe me Party Box is NOT more expensive than Party City. Actually the tablecloths were cheaper in Party Box then they were in Party City.

I have found the employees to be very nice and no less friendly or helpful than anywhere else.
Because Party Box is not part of a large chain, like Party City, you will find things there that you can’t get at other stores. For this reason I will continue to shop at Party Box.

Contrary to the former reviewer’s observation, Party Box is not a knock off of Party City. In fact, Party Box opened several years before the Party City concept came to fruition. The first Party City store opened in Hazlet in 1986. Party Box opened in the late 70s. If anything, Party City is the knock-​off.
My parents have been shopping at Party Box since the mid-​1980s. I mention this because they are savvy shoppers and always look for the best deal. Party City may have lower prices on more products, but you’ll get better quality at Party Box.
I do agree with Jen B. in that the balloon department at Party Box is first rate; for the price and the quality, you’re not going to do any better. During the Halloween season they convert half the store to meet any costume need. Parking is abundant in the rear of the store and you’ll always receive assistance with large items.
As far as service goes, they may not be the happiest bunch but you wouldn’t be either? They probably make $ 10/​hr and they perform a repetitive job. I can commiserate. People expect those in retail to be happy because they have a job. But I look on the flip side, I know most people that work menial low wage jobs are unhappy because they can’t do much better. So I cut them a lot of slack because I definitely could not do what they do for a living.
It’s inconceivable…

Located just off of 17. Not too much parking unless you go around the back. This place is HUGE, but doesn’t smell very good (musty, dead babies, ya know).
They have tons of Halloween costumes, seasonal decorations, party supplies, balloons… everything you could think of!
I needed a sympathy card. Not the best card selection. I think this place is more about happy things. The cards were quite inexpensive!
It was such a maze, I could barely find the check out!

OK, this place is the consummate knock off of Party City. It has just about all the party supplies you could ever ask for. Prices are more expensive than Party City though so that sign that says the lowest prices around is false advertising. The people that work there are not overly friendly. It always feels like you’re bothering them if you ask them a question or need something. Ummm… it’s your JOB to help customers, WTF is the attitude for? What this place has over Party City is that they do balloon designs/​sculpturing. They do have competitive pricing in this particular area and overall nice work. I’ve used them for balloon designs several time and I’ve always been pleased with the work.
They did have a beautiful balloon arrangement shaped in a cross, which would be suitable for a holy communion or confirmation. It was really well done. In retrospect, I should have photographed it but I was in a rush.
It is a good local option if you don’t have another party supply store nearby. FYI — their website has coupons which you should definitely print out and take with you, if you’re going.
