Fave place to buy decorations?

[violette]

Does anyone know a cute place to buy decorations?  I can't easily make my own because the shower I'm hosting for my sister is in another city, and I'm traveling there by train.

I'm looking for sort of a hipster Etsy kind of look.  I'd like some garlands or bunting, maybe a mini-bunting cake topper, and a tissue garland or similar.  Minted.com was close, and I might wind up going with them, but I was hoping for some other suggestions.

Thanks, ladies!

The Dollar Store

The Dollar Store and Oriental Trading Company are my go to's.

I often use Oriental Trading Company, Parties etc, and Ebay. They were my Go-tos for DS's first party and will be my Go-tos for his 2nd party this year. We used to have a local party store around here that was mom and pop owned. But the kids took it over and shut it down. So that was a big old disappointment. I got looking and found these three places the cheapest with the easiest shipping methods depending on what you are looking for.

Definitely check out the Dollar Store or Dollar Tree. I bought all my decorations for DD's 1st birthday party from there. We had a luau theme so I found all kinds of kitschy stuff (tissue flower garlands, table grass skirts, 10 pack of leis, paper lanterns, etc) Better quality than you might think, and I decorated the whole party, including plates, cups, and silverware, for around $25.

I am always pleasantly surprised by the Dollar Store as well! I would check there. It can be hit or miss but I almost always find what I need.

Check out papermart.com, too. They might not have the exact feel you're going for, but they have poms, streamers, ribbons, cups, plates, mason jars, paper straws, favor boxes/bags, etc. for super cheap. Great customer service, too, and you can ship the stuff wherever you need it shipped.

I also love them for gift wrapping needs at all times of year. I bought a 100 foot roll of gift wrap from them in 2008 to have as an all-purpose gift wrap (it's a pretty black and white modern damask design that can be used for pretty much any event) and I still have at least half of the roll left. And if I am recalling correctly, I am pretty sure I didn't pay more than $20 for it, even with shipping.

Really great suggestion.
