Customer’s Review:

They were amazing! I needed a large order of helium number and regular balloons the very next day, as I was art directing a shoot and couldn’t do without them. The service was excellent and products top-notch. No balloons popped throughout the day and service was as promised. I can definitely highly recommend them! Definitely my go-to for any future balloon orders.

We frequently visit Newtown (for the food and Better Read Than Dead), so it was no surprise when we found Costume Party, a local costume shop. Costume Party has a large selection of costumes that are reasonably priced in comparison to other shops, implying they’re manufactured in bulk. Is it difficult finding parking near Newtown? Not at all; they deliver the following working day if you buy before 3 p.m.

Key Differentiators:

  • Local costume shop
  • Reasonably priced in comparison to other shops
  • Delivery available

Customer’s Review:
