Decorating for Thanksgiving

For the retail industry it has become common to make a jump from Halloween directly to Christmas. Stores are displaying their Christmas decorations, Christmas music is being played and visits from Santa have started.

Let's not forget Thanksgiving! As family and friends gather for a feast the right decor can help set the mood. The autumn colors are a wonderful palette to use for decorating. Add some pilgrim or turkey decor or decorate with acorns, leaves and a cornucopia for a festive traditional look.

There is always plenty of cleanup after the meal, so why not give yourself a break and select Fall or Thanksgiving themed disposable plate ware for serving the desserts.

Costumes aren't just for Halloween or even Christmas anymore. Why not add a cool twist to your Thanksgiving holiday by dressing up or recreating the first Thanksgiving in costume. We offer costumes such as a Turkey Mascot, pilgrims and Native American attire, or maybe just a pilgrim hat to add some fun to your gathering.

What ever your festivities entail, have a fun and safe Thanksgiving weekend! Our store will be closed on Thanksgiving Day for our employees to enjoy this time with their families.

We will be back open for business on Friday, November 27, 2009 at 9:00 am.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Nick & Bonnie

Being Thankful

With Thanksgiving just a little over a week away I've been reflecting upon all the things to be thankful for. As with any business or life for that matter, there are ups and downs but making a conscious effort to keep positive and grateful for all is the place I want to be.

Today I want to say thank you to people whom I am grateful for. Nick & I are absolutely thankful for the wonderful employees we have. They all have their special niches and styles that blend to make an amazing team. So, thank you to Drake, Jennifer, Jerry, Shirley and Stefany for all their efforts.

Thank you to our wonderful landlord Chuck who has always been supportive of our business, works to assist us during Halloween with the craziness of the parking lot as well as throughout the rest of the year.

Thank you to our customers who support our business, some once a year and others many times throughout the year. It is fun to get to know you and it is our pleasure to serve you. Special appreciation to Phil & Sharon, Stu & Tim, Erica, Chris D., Dr. Ingle and The Staff at Providence Health Services who regularly support our store.

We built a new on-line store this year and are looking forward to new business through this medium. The on-line store is easy to use and provides the shopper with viewing many of the costume and accessory selections we carry in the store. Check it out at http://shop.perfectpartycostumes.com and get a jump on your holiday costumes and accessories.

All the best,

Bonnie

Holidays Are Almost Here!

What a great Halloween season! Thank you to all our customers who supported our business and made it a fun Halloween in spite of the concerns about economic conditions. We launched our new on-line shopping store http://shop.perfectpartycostumes.com/ the end of September. While it has been a slow start we are confident that momentum will build as people know we offer this service. It is convenient and a good way to see some of what is available in our actual store location.

We are currently preparing the store for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. For Thanksgiving we are offering fall patterned tableware, autumn leave decor and of course the standby centerpiece; the tissue paper turkey! For Christmas we have a variety of Santa Suits, reindeer, snowman and biblical costumes as well as decorations and tableware designed for the season. While we have a large quantity of Santa Suits to rent, it is always best to reserve your Santa suit early.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

All the best,
