Where do you get your party supply's (plates/napkins etc.)?

[Curlybrunette]

Hi all,

I'm starting to get the supply's for DS's birthday party, it'll be football themed stuff and wondered where the cheapest place is. In the past we've had smaller parties at home and I've bought from different places but this is our first big party, 30 ish kids what the hell am I doing? and some of the different websites are adding up to a fortune for plates/cups/napkins/table clothes etc. etc.

I've made invitations so they're done, and the party bag is an Easter egg each so that's cheap (£1 at Morrisons woop!), but really don't want to spend 0ver £60 on paper plates that'll be thrown away.

Thanks

i got ds his party stuff from Party Pieces.

i thought it was reasonably priced but i couldn't be arse to shop around and it got good reviews on here.

eBay is your friend!

Asda does football themed stuff.

just had a quick google and it would cost £40 for a 30 piece football package. that includes plates, cups, napkins and tablecloth/s, banner, ribbons and balloons.

eBay!

You don't need to get everything themed!
May be a themed tablecloth and napkins (for wrapping the cake) and plain plates? Poundland do cheap plain gold/silver/white. Or plain cloth and cups and themed plates/napkins.
Tesco usually has a good choice of themes not too expensive.

Supermarket.

Seems like supermarkets and ebay are the way forward! I'll have a look, thank you x

Yay just got a right bargain, popped into lidl for a couple of things and found 50 plates for £1.99 and 50 cups for 99p in bright orange which is our local football teams colour. Fabulous!
