Parents Opinion?

Question

I am thinking about starting my own party in a box type buisness. I love planning parties and have seen the party in a box websites and noticed that they really only include paper plates, table cloths, cups and favors. I would love to make my own party in a box site (with a differnt name) that would include everything needed for a kids party excluding the cake/food

I thought this would be great for parents who don't have the time or don't like to spend time shopping around and planning all the details of the party

This is what it would include

Invitations (Send them out if they choose)

Cups

Plates

Napkins

Silverwear

Table Cover

Balloons

Streamers

Other Decorations

Props

Games/Activities

Favors

Special Hat/Gift for Birthday Child

Party Guide Book

Thank You Notes

I plan on having themes but would also work with a parent and child to create a cutome birthday party to fit there interests

So please let me know ur opinions and if you or a friend would use this?

Answer 1

While I applaud your ambition, I think your cost would be quite high and you would have to charge too much to make a profit.  Just MO but I wish you good luck.

Answer 2

I think it would depend on the area that you are in. Another answerer mentioned that you would have to charge a lot to make a profit. But if you are servicing an affluent area, people are willing to spend a lot of money to have other people do things like this for them.

Answer 3

I have always had time to plan my own parties. I am sure thou many people don't. Great Idea hope it flies.

Answer 4

I think its a great idea! I think if you can get ahold of items that you can't typically buy in like Walmart or Target, then it will definitely be a hit. I'm sure you could buy wholesale and then resell it. You can look for wholesale items online and I'm sure if you buy items when they are on sale that would help too. There are people out there who would probably love to have the whole party planned out that aren't really into planning it themselves or just don't have the time. Good luck! Hope it works well for ya!
