Past, Present and Future
iParty was started in 1998 with the help of husband and wife team Sal Perisano and Dorice Dionne. In the summer of 2000 they merged this new dot.com with the New England based brick and mortar retailer, The Big Party, which they had previously founded.

Over the last few years iParty has grown into a chain of 50 stores serving all of New England and the Tampa Bay area of Florida. iParty offers over 20,000 party supplies, costumes and accessories in its stores and online to make shopping for the party as much fun as the party itself!

iParty has become a premier multi-channel party supply and party planning company winning awards for Best Party Store Website in 2005 and Best Store Marketing / Promotions in 2006. In March of 2008, iParty was named National Party Retailer of the Year and is proud to take its place as a leader in providing fun for every celebration.
