How to buy wholesale party supplies

When you're buying wholesale party supplies , keep these in mind:

  • Define your niche market — “Party supplies” is a broad category, so you definitely need to niche down as different niches requires different type of parties supplies. Here are some niches you can consider:
    • Birthday parties
    • Bachelor/Bachelorette parties
    • Graduation parties
    • Baby shower
    • Thanksgiving
    • New Year’s
  • Consider the seasonality of your niche —Some holiday specific parties are more popular at certain time of the year, like Christmas parties for example. During this season it's a good idea to time your purchase and promotion in order to capture that interest.
    There are also parties where interests hold all year long, like birthday parties. These party supplies are needed all year long, so you should buy more and stock them since they can last for a long time.
  • The type of party supplies you want to sell — There's a huge array of party supplies you can stock: decorations, props, games, cutlery, party favors and many more.

Where to buy wholesale party supplies

There are many ways you can source wholesale party supplies online. If you've never done this before, we recommend these to start with:

Google

If you search on Google with query like "buy wholesale party supplies", it should return plenty of results to choose form. After that just add some variations of the query to include keywords from your niche.

While it's free to search for party supplies on Google, note that the suppliers listed are not vetted. Make sure they are a legitimate business before you place a huge order with them to prevent fraud. More on that later.

Check local business listings directory

You can check local directories, business listings, or newspaper ads for information about wholesale party supply distributors in your area. Sometimes wholesalers promote their businesses through these avenues.

Of course, you'll be limited to options in your locale. You can, however, go the extra mile to source for one that best suits your need.

Supplier directories

Supplier directories, like SaleHoo, vet their suppliers. This means you won't need to worry about finding high-quality suppliers or getting scammed..

While there is a small fee ($67/year for SaleHoo), it's the best method for beginners. We even give you our market research tool, which shows you how often items sell and helps you find new products to add to your store!

Finding trusted suppliers

To avoid fraud, vet every supplier with these four steps:

Contact the supplier and verify their address

True wholesalers will provide their phone number and address on their website. Call them and Google their address to make sure it’s a real business.

Check your supplier’s reputation and track record

Keep an eye out for long-term suppliers who have been in business at least 10 years. As an extra precaution, call their customers to get real reviews.

Purchase and inspect their products

Order samples to assess their product quality, packaging care, and shipping times. This helps you understand how strong a supplier is before you make a bulk purchase.

Test their customer support

Call your supplier early and often to make sure they have excellent support. If their service department is lacking, it will hurt your customer service as well.
