Tracey and Creative Parties are flawless, proactive, and generous in every way. From helping with high end non-profit auction materials, signage, decorations, and invitations, to guiding on details soup to nuts for a Bat Mitzvah at an exclusive club, we could not ask for better partners in projects that require panache, attention to detail, design flair, uniqueness, and a personal interest in making sure everything is GORGEOUS and to perfection! Tracey has even made special trips to acquire unique paper we wanted for invitations. If you want to feel like PRIORITY ONE, and know that your guests

This review is long overdue, but better late than never. My husband and I got married in the early summer of 2016, and in short, creative parties is among the primary reasons our wedding turned out beautifully and why the process went so smoothly. My aunt recommended I see Tracy Bloom at CP since my aunt had used their services for many types of parties, and it was the best decision I made. Tracy is a pro, plain and simple, and, even though she has many clients, took the time to explain things to me and answer all questions I had, including those having to do with protocol. The quality of their

Outstanding Service = The Most Amazing 50th Birthday Party! I simply can't say enough about my positive experience with Creative Parties. I have purchased stationery from Creative Parties for years but this was the first time I ordered party invitations. When it came to making plans for my 50th Birthday (hosted by my husband), I wanted a special evening. Thankfully, in working with Tracy and her team, that's exactly what I got! I consulted with her early on and Tracy provided great suggestions to me on invitation timing, venues, save-the-dates for out-of-towners, etc. My invitations

My fiancé and I wanted to use local vendors to plan our fall wedding and thought we'd check out Creative Parties. We were delighted by the professionalism and customer service that Tracy provided us. She worked patiently with us for four hours as we poured over invitation designs and discussed details at length. She addressed all of our questions and made it a pleasant experience. When we received our wedding invitations, which were created and printed in-house, we were very happy with the results and received many compliments from our guests. I'd highly recommend and use their services

Tracy and Company provide the structure and organization necessary for your party to reflect your personal touch and NOT that of something that was just pulled out of the box! A second generation family business, we found that Creative Parties has the depth to provide detailed advice and customized service without making us feel that we were just another client. Entertaining should actually be fun and with the right team at your disposal you can enjoy your guests rather than worrying about if "everything is going all right"--Ideally, you have worked out the details beforehand and

I am a bride to be married on August 11, 2013 and due to the death of my mom on February 25, 2013 our plans have had to take a back seat, while I am still mourning over her loss, I researched who could help me out on such short notice and I ran into Creative Parties in Bethesda, MD. Our initial meeting was great until Marci promised to get back to me on the following Tuesday which came and left so did Wednesday and Thursday, till finally I had to reach out to them to find out what is going on with my invitations since they were promised to us from the Tuesday, then Marci emailed me and apologized

I bought 2 living social coupons for Creative Parties. My college friend recommended the living social coupon to me since she knew I was planning my engagement party. I work in Falls Church, VA, so driving up to Bethesda after work was not easy. Each time, I had to leave work early in order to get to the store before they close. You would think if I had 2 coupons the store would allow me to make 2 transactions in one visit but they actually made me come in 2 days in a row bc the rules stated that one coupon could be used per visit. After purchasing the invitations, I realized that printing
