Bat Girl

2012-01-29T12:34:00.002-06:00

A few weeks ago, a customer came into the store and said her soon to be 5 year old daughter wanted to have a "batgirl" party. She had been searching online for invitations, however she just kept coming up with "Batman" theme...no "girly" colors anywhere. I told her I would be happy to create something for her. When I sent her the design, she then wanted to know about plates and napkins (of course we can do that!). Then, she thought it would be fun to have something personalized as a favor. We thought a great gift for the kids would be personalized water bottles. Each child received a metal water bottle with a vinyl bat sticker with their name in the middle of the bat. The theme all came together. The customer got exactly what she wanted and the kids all got fabulous personalized gifts to go home with them!

Have a theme? Let us help you bring it all together for the perfect party!

It's not too late!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Okay, not quite. However, the holidays are quickly approaching. And yes, we can't believe we just wrote that either.

We recently discovered the latest internet craze - move over, Facebook... Pinterest is here and it's bringing out the craftress and Betty Crocker in everyone. Pinterest allows you to "pin" ideas you find on the internet to a wall. The site is perfect for all of your holiday ideas! And when things get crazy, you can come back to Pinterest to remember all of the great ideas you came across.

Party Cat is here to help with your crafty-ness! If you need a special touch let us add a vinyl sticker or embroidered design, wrap it up, or print it.

2011-10-28T07:31:00.014-05:00

Today's idea deals with creating a fun and stylish kids' table!

Protect your table linens with custom placemats (shown above). These can be made for each individual child or for you home. Highly recommended for those with an aversion to scrubbing out cranberry sauce stains!

Another kids' table touch are our custom plates! Pick a design or create your own. What kid doesn't love eating off of their very own plate?!

View our selection at PartyCat.com!

We all love wrapping gifts! We do, don't we? (If not, more on that later.) If you want to add a special touch to your gift giving we've got the perfect Holiday Stickers! Pick up a pack in store or customize your own. That's right, you don't even have to lift a pen. Make it your own, then make like Santa and deliver those awesome gifts!

#2 on the Party Cat 2011 Holiday Idea & Tip List

2011-10-18T10:00:00.002-05:00

Remember the holiday cards we told you about? Well, we know addressing those bad boys might take some time out of your already hectic day. Then, adding the return address to the back flap of the envelope; don't even get me started on how much time that takes... which is why we love PSA Essentials' customized return address stamps! What's even better about PSA's stamps is they're peel-and-stick. So if you find yourself somewhere new next year you will only have to replace part of the stamp. Or you can replace the design. Or it can just be a stamp to add some extra decor to your envelope or gifts! Pretty cool, huh?

Stop by Party Cat to get your order in today! Orders take up to 10 business days to arrive.

Holidays already?!

2011-10-17T10:00:00.010-05:00

Yes, it's that time again!

Hey! At least we waited til the 2nd half of October...but instead of catchy jingles that will get stuck in your head, bright lights, and candy canes we're going to give you the Party Cat 2011 Holiday Idea & Tip List. One tip or idea a day all the way through Christmas.

Here we go!

1. Holiday Cards

Who doesn't love seeing you and your family's shiny happy faces delivering some holiday cheer?! Send them for Thanksgiving, Chanukkah, Christmas or after the New Year to wish your loved ones the very best.

We've got them in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Don't want to bother with paper cuts? Have us do the addressing, stuffing, and stamping (they'll never know).

Bonus tip:

Go through your summer photo and find one to get reprinted or arrange for a family photo to be taken now. No time for that? We bet your pets would look pretty cute on a photo card as well!

Place your orders early before the madness begins!! Call today or stop by the store to see what we have in stock.

Lots of TREATS at the Party Cat for Halloween!!

2011-10-07T12:01:00.004-05:00

Back-to-School!

2011-07-20T10:34:00.008-05:00

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY to bring in the kiddos' back-to-school items! Party Cat offers embroidery to make your students belongings one of a kind!

For K-12 students we recommend personalizing backpacks, lunch bags, and jackets. It's a great way to keep track of items that tend to get lost throughout the school year.

For those leaving for college the possibilities are endless! Popular items to personalize include towels, pillow cases, blankets, backpacks, clothing, and more!

Many times customers ask us what items they can personalize...our answer - just about EVERYTHING! You can bring in your own merchandise or we can personalize anything we have in our store.

We also offer Next Day Rush for items you need right away! We recommend placing your embroidery order early due to the upcoming back-to-school rush.

Kris-10s Creations Home Collection

2010-07-26T13:47:00.003-05:00

The artwork illustrated throughout the Kris-10's Creations Home Collection is originally hand-painted by Kristin Cowden of Kris-10's Creations and is reproduced digitally on canvas. The hand-painted and watercolor look from the original artwork transfers beautifully and provides a look of authenticity in each piece! No matter which wall this canvas adorns, it is promised to catch your eye with it's mix of vibrant colors and soft pastels. Scriptures seen on any of the canvases are in Kristin's very own handwriting. However, if you prefer, there is an option to order the canvas without a scripture. Currently, Party Cat is only offering this product in store however, soon the canvases will be available for purchase online so keep checking back!

Kristin has many designs to choose from. The Butterfly Canvas, shown above, is a whimsical design, beautifully decorated with vibrant colors including deep yellows, pinks, blues, reds and greens. The canvas would hang perfectly in a child's bedroom, nursery or play room! It would also make a lovely gift for a baptism. The canvas is available in 14" x 14" or 24" x 24".

Labor Day Holiday Invitations!

Pom Poms!

2010-07-23T17:08:00.003-05:00

Like many of you out there, we discovered the Martha Stewart Tissue Paper Pom Pom Kit and thought how perfect for Baby Shower decorations! It seemed foolish to toss them after one use, so we brought them back to the store and hung them in our windows! Shortly after, our customers couldn't stand to hear they weren't for sale. While Party Cat typically doesn't carry party decorations, this was a no brainer! Currently, our offerings include the Lattice Heart (Solid White) Tissue Paper Pom Pom Kit, the Camellia (above) Tissue Paper Pom Pom Kit and the Spring Butterfly (Pink, Green and Orange) Tissue Paper Pom Pom Kit.

Let's get Eco Fabulous!

Custom Design & Embroidery @ Party Cat!

I’m finally back! Sorry I have not had the opportunity to log in since July. A lot has happened at Party Cat over the past 9 months. There have been many ups and downs with the current economy. I have taken this “opportunity” to really look at the direction of the business and see what needed to change to adapt to our changing world. Well, I am happy to announce that through all of this I feel that Party Cat is going to come out stronger and better than before. We, the Party Cat team, have spent countless hours going over business plans and have decided to stick to what we do best, just enhance it. We are committed to still offering you, our loyal customers, the highest level of quality, large selection and convenience that you are accustomed to finding at Party Cat and www.partycat.com. We have however decided to “take it up a notch” (to quote one of my favorite chefs, Emeril Lagasse). By doing so we now are happy to announce that we have a full time Graphic Designer on staff. What does this mean to you? We can offer you one of a kind, custom designs. Maybe you have always dreamed of your wedding invitations taking on the look and feel of your great grandmothers chin pattern, we can do that! Or, you would like your babies birth announcements to have the look of your beloved stuffed teddy bear that you have passed down to your new born son, we can do that! The options are limitless. If you can dream it, we can make it into a realitly. Now, you may be asking, at what cost can you make my invitation dreams a reality? Starting at just $1.00 per invitation plus the cost of printing ($24/25 invitations) we can create anything you can think up. If you want something over the top, we will work with you to come up with the right paper and design to fit your event.
What else have we been up to since the start of 2010? In January we purchased a commercial embroidery machine. After a few months of getting to know all of the ins and out of the machine we are proud to announce that we offer embroidery at Party Cat! I believe this was one of the best decisions I have made in regards to the business. Our customers are flocking in with their own stock to have embroidered and also to purchase embroidery gifts that we have in stock and ready to go. Currently our lead time on all embroidery is 2 business days. We also have the ability to digitize any design (again, thank goodness for the graphic designer). Whether you have a logo that you would like to put on a shirt or your child’s art work that you would like to add to a canvas bag, we can do it!
I hope that you will come see us soon whether you visit us in our boutique in Tarrytown or online at www.partycat.com.
See you soon,
Cindy

My name is Cindy Cobuzzi Gehring and I grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts in a fairly formal environment. As a result of my upbringing, coupled with my love of stationery and invitations, I have become a self made “expert” in the field of etiquette and manners. Through this, I have learned the importance of being comfortable in all social situations. This I believe is something that you carry with you in all aspects of your life. I am a witness to this everyday as my teenage children are morphing into young adults. They have been given all of the tools needed to succeed in the “real” world. They understand the importance of writing a proper thank you note after interviewing for colleges or jobs as well as being prepared to act appropriately at either formal or informal social gatherings.

Many of my friends and customers have come to me asking for my advice in a variety of situations (ranging from invitation and thank you note etiquette to how to set a proper dinner table). I would now like to take this opportunity to share my knowledge with you. I will be posting my response to frequently asked questions and I invite you, the reader, to share your opinions and comments or ask any questions that you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Cindy
