This is our final set up from 1st Stop Party Shop . What a pleasure (and hard work ) it was . The venue was the Darlington Simpson Rolling Mills who were brilliant throughout , DJ was Ultrasound, Buffet Teeside Grazing, last not least JM wedding cars with our good friend Jonathan who provided transport to and from . It was lovely to stand back a look at the hard work, but to receive so many compliments was brilliant .

Today I share with you the bittersweet news that we are retiring after 23 years of blowing up balloons 🎈

We have had an amazing 23 years✨

We are eternally grateful for all of the friendships we have made along the way!🌟

We have supplied balloons for babies being born up to their 21st which has been lovely to share those precious years 🥹

The weddings and christenings have been amazing and we have LOVED adding our special touch to your special events!

Customers are asking can’t we stay? The answer sadly is no 🥺
We really have all had a brilliant time❤️‍🩹

The shop is winding down, with orders we have already taken; we will complete them but anything for the later end of October we may not be able to commit to🫶🏻

We want to soak in the moments of retirement with our family, travel, and along with (as most of our customers know that we love) our Paranormal investigations👻 So for us it is onward and upward🤞🏼✨

Thank you to all those who have helped us work in the shop over the years. There are LOTS of special memories to cherish with you all!

🙌🏼And of course, a HUGE thank you to our Rachel for your invaluable help over the many years!🥰🙌🏼

Once again to our customers, thank you for all of your support 👏🏼
