Despite all corporate-owned Party City locations shutting down, your chance to score on-demand balloons, themed decor, costumes, and party essentials in an instant is still possible.

Party City and DoorDash just announced their partnership for getting all your party necessities delivered to your doorstep faster than ever. Whether it’s a birthday, a holiday gathering, or just a spontaneous celebration, this partnership ensures that last-minute party stress is a thing of the past.

Read on to learn about what the partnership entails and how you can bring your next party to life in a few quick steps.

Party City Lives on

Party City has faced a turbulent few years, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in two years, and announcing plans to close all of its roughly 700 U.S. stores. The company, a powerhouse in the party supply industry for over four decades, cited declining consumer spending, inflationary pressures, and the lingering effects of the pandemic as key challenges. Despite efforts to restructure and reduce debt, the hurdles proved too great, and all corporate-owned stores were slated to close by February 2025. 26 locally owned stores, however, remain open across the United States.

Against these odds, the new partnership with DoorDash marks a significant step in keeping Party City’s celebrations alive, delivering necessities to customers no matter what.

A Seamless Celebration Experience

For anyone who has ever scrambled to pick up balloons minutes before guests arrive, this collaboration is a game-changer. Customers can shop at Party City and enjoy fast, on-demand delivery in most major U.S. cities.

From inflatable balloons to themed tableware, costumes, and party kits, everything you need can arrive in as little as an hour. Orders over $50 also qualify for free shipping, so you can stock up on everything from candles to confetti without leaving home.

“When we got into the Party City business, my first thought was simple: deliver the party quickly and conveniently,” said Joel Weinshanker, CEO of Party City’s new owner Ad Populum. “And I know from personal experience—maybe more than once—that plenty of us need a last-minute balloon rescue. With Party City and DoorDash, the balloons and the party always arrive on time.”

How to Order

Getting started is simple. Visit Party City's website to browse balloons, decor, costumes, and more, then choose on-demand delivery via DoorDash. In most major cities, your order can arrive in as little as an hour, making it possible to save the day, even for last-minute celebrations.
