Partyrama is a United Kingdom–based online retailer of party supplies, decorations, and event accessories. Founded in Milton Keynes, the company operates a large warehouse and online store offering a wide range of products including balloons, banners, tableware, and life-size cardboard cut-outs. Partyrama is one of the longest-established party retailers in the UK and sells both directly through its website and via major online marketplaces such as Tesco Marketplace.[1]

History

edit

Partyrama began as a family business in the late 1980s before developing into a specialist online retailer. Its operations are based in Milton Keynes, where it runs a 26,000-square-foot warehouse distributing products throughout the United Kingdom.[2]

Products and services

edit

Partyrama sells themed party decorations, tableware, and novelty items for holidays, birthdays, weddings, and corporate events. The company is widely known for its range of life-size cardboard cut-outs of public figures and celebrities. During the 2015 United Kingdom general election, BBC News reported that Partyrama sold cut-outs of political leaders including David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband, and Gordon Brown, quoting owner Nitin Bajaj as saying the figures were "a bit of fun" and noting that Nick Clegg was the company’s best-selling cut-out that year.[3]

Partyrama has continued to feature in national coverage for novelty items sold through online marketplaces. In 2024, Metro highlighted the popularity of celebrity cut-outs on Tesco Marketplace, where Partyrama appeared as one of the sellers.[4]

Media coverage

Partyrama and its products have been featured in multiple national publications. In 2025, The Times quoted Nitin Bajaj in an article about the rising cost of children’s celebrations, describing Partyrama as a Milton Keynes–based retailer providing affordable celebration supplies.[5]

Other reputable outlets including The Telegraph, Evening Standard, and Red Online have featured Partyrama and similar suppliers in lifestyle and consumer-trend articles on party decorations, balloon delivery, and home entertainment.[6][7][8]

The company has introduced a range of environmentally friendly party supplies, including biodegradable tableware and paper balloon sticks, in response to growing demand for sustainable alternatives.[9]
