Over the years this small party boutique has expanded and changed their offerings to provide even more products and services to the local clientele. This store always has the perfect holiday specific decorations as well as baby and bridal showers and weddings.

The Wedding Pantry

The Wedding Pantry first opened in Old Town Tustin before moving to a spot in the OC Mart Mix with an expanded offering of basic party supplies, not just wedding-related items. Do you need those adorable striped straws for a party this weekend? She's got them! And she is one of the only people in Orange County to have my favorite heart-shaped plastic cutlery. And don't forget that before she opened her shop, she was an event planning professional and can help you with custom decor.

Multiple Locations

North Orange County (and of course South Orange County too) residents rely on their closest Party City locations for their party supplies. With their large selection of Mylar balloons, this is the go-to place for character party balloons. Did you know that you can also rent a helium tank? This is a great option given all the rage over the over-sized balloons, which they now sell in their off-the-shelf balloon section. With rows and rows of solid, patterned and themed tableware products, you are sure to find what you need. Their favor section, including both candy and trinkets, is almost unrivaled when shopping for goody bag swag and piňata fillers. Need a piňata to fill? This is the place. With nice little sections for first birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, wedding day and bachelorette party items, you can't go wrong. And they have a great selection of simple paper decorations to enhance any party including tissue paper pom kits, honeycomb garlands and paper lanterns. Sign up for coupons through their website and save!

They have recently added products that cross over in to everyday celebrations and offer all kinds of items from favors, centerpiece items, decor pieces, photo booth props, candy buffet supplies and much more. The inventory is huge and perfect for the advanced party planner looking to make a big impact at their next party.
