Our Story

After more than a twenty-five-year career in hotels & restaurants, I decided to embark on a new adventure in 2015 to pursue a lifelong dream to be a shopkeeper. In my imagination, I always envisioned myself wearing an apron, standing outside a quaint shop in a cottage neighborhood watching over a beautiful window box of flowers & greeting people walking by. Never, in my imaginings did I understand how the new frontier created by the internet would set the stage for me to make this dream a reality & open The Parties that Pop.

I still envision myself as a small shopkeeper & while it may not look like what I imagined when this story began it has certainly has become a labor of love. The discovery of finding playful, unique & modern party decorations, supplies, gifts & dreamy dress-up costumes makes my heart happy. Curating party themes that make it easy, effortless & enjoyable for you to find creative inspiration, plan, adapt & celebrate with your loved ones is an ultimate joy to me. You'll find us here in Portland, Oregon working from my home with my little dog Yoda. His formal title is shipping supervisor, but between you & I, he's often sleeping on the job. Stay awhile, peruse and find inspiration for your next celebration. We're happy to make a new friend! Don't forget to share pictures of your special day with us - it brings us so much joy to share the day with you in this way. Many Blessings, Sandy
