Occasion party supplies for the milestones that matter, gathered in one place. Whether you're planning a wedding, a hen party or stag do, a baby shower, a christening or a gender reveal, you'll find decorations, tableware and keepsakes that suit the day.
We cover the later celebrations too, from a graduation or retirement to an engagement, a wedding anniversary and religious celebrations. Start with the colour or theme you have in mind, then pick a banner, table pieces and a keepsake or two so the room and the memories both come together. A tip worth stealing: choose one accent colour and repeat it on the table, the walls and the balloons, and the whole event looks planned rather than pieced together.
Planning a big day? Our occasions and life-events guide helps you plan supplies for weddings, showers, hen dos and milestones.
Show moreEvery life event has its own rhythm, so the supplies that matter change from one occasion to the next. Here's how we'd plan the big ones, after more than 3 million orders.
Weddings, engagements and anniversaries. Start with the room: an aisle runner, table decorations and a backdrop for the photos, then add the touches guests remember, like wedding bubbles or confetti cannons for the send-off. Keep one metallic or floral accent running through everything, from the table to the car, so the whole day looks matched rather than mixed.
Baby showers, gender reveals and christenings. These lean on soft colours and keepsakes. Pick your baby shower tableware and a balloon arch first, save the big colour choice for a gender reveal, and dress a christening table in blue, pink or neutral to suit. Set aside a few favours by each place so guests leave with a little something.
Hen and stag dos. These run on sashes, photo props and games, so buy those before the decorations. Pack a bag for each guest ready to hand out on the night, and a lifesize cutout of the bride or groom always earns a laugh.
Graduations, retirements and milestones. These suit a simple, grown-up scheme: a banner with the year or a name, table confetti and a few balloons in school, company or classic colours. Add a keepsake for the guest of honour, whether it's a graduation or a retirement, and for a religious celebration or a big anniversary, carry one accent colour across the table and the favours so it feels considered.
Whichever event you're planning, work back from the date: order about a week ahead so there's time to set up, and if plans come together late, an order placed by 4pm can still arrive the next day.
