Licensed Party Supplies

Everything you need for a character-themed party

Choosing a favourite character gives you the theme, but it is the mix of tableware, balloons and decorations that makes the whole party come together. Use this collection as the starting point for licensed ranges including Harry Potter, Hot Wheels and Thomas & Friends.

Each dedicated character collection combines the main licensed designs with carefully selected extras. That means you can choose the character plates or napkins first, then find plain-colour tableware, number balloons, coordinating latex balloons and related party decorations without having to work out every match yourself.

Create a magical Harry Potter party

Our Harry Potter range brings together several different looks from the wizarding world. Choose colourful House Pride designs, playful Honeydukes pinks or more traditional Hogwarts tableware in black, burgundy, beige and gold. The range includes plates, napkins and cups as well as party hats, banners, invitations, gift bags, candles and a wide choice of Harry Potter balloons.

To complete the setup, mix the licensed products with plain tableware and balloons in colours taken from your chosen design. Black, burgundy and gold work well for a classic Hogwarts feast, while pink, red and softer pastels give Honeydukes and Gryffindor pieces a brighter party feel. Add the birthday child's age with a number balloon and use one of the larger character balloons near the cake table as an easy focal point.

Set the scene for a Hot Wheels race day

The Hot Wheels range starts with colourful plates, cups and napkins featuring bold racing colours and checkerboard details. The collection also brings in complementary racing-car party products, so you can extend the theme with track, tyre and chequered-flag designs rather than limiting the table to one matching set.

Build the look around black and white checks, then add red, blue and orange tableware or balloons for colour. A large number balloon works brilliantly beside the cake or present table, while race-car decorations can help turn the wider room into a finish-line setup for your little driver and their crew.

All aboard for a Thomas & Friends birthday

Our Thomas & Friends party supplies include themed plates, cups and napkins, plus a train banner and table centrepiece to carry the railway theme beyond the place settings. The familiar red and blue colour palette is easy to coordinate with plain tableware, balloons and birthday-number decorations.

Use the Thomas products as the main feature on the table, then repeat the red and blue colours around the room. A banner above the cake, a centrepiece among the party food and a few matching balloon clusters are enough to make the theme clear without needing every decoration to feature a character.

Coordinating the table, balloons and decorations

Start with the practical pieces each guest will need: a plate, cup and napkin. Check the quantity in each pack against your guest list and allow a few extras, especially if you want separate plates for savoury food and birthday cake.

Next, choose one or two statement pieces. A banner, centrepiece, large character balloon or personalised age display can establish the theme across the room. Finish with plain-colour products that pick up two or three colours from the licensed design. Mixing patterned and plain pieces keeps the table balanced, makes the character products stand out and gives you more flexibility when catering for a larger guest list.

Party styling tip: Do not feel that every piece needs to match. Layer a character plate over a larger plain plate, alternate printed and solid-colour napkins, or group a character balloon with plain balloons in coordinating shades. Small repeated touches usually create a stronger overall look than filling every space with the same print.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I find in the licensed party collections?
Explore character tableware and decorations across our licensed ranges. Each dedicated collection also contains hand-picked coordinating products to help you complete that particular theme.

Are all the products in each character collection licensed?
No. The featured character products are licensed, but each dedicated character collection also includes complementary plain tableware, balloons, number balloons and related themed items from other ranges. These extras have been selected because they work particularly well with the licensed designs.

How many packs of tableware should I order?
Check the pack quantity on each product page and compare it with the number of guests. Allow at least one plate, cup and napkin per person, plus a few spares. If you are serving a meal and birthday cake, you may prefer separate plates for each.

How do I choose coordinating colours?
Pick two or three colours already used in the licensed design and repeat them across your plain tableware, balloons and decorations. The dedicated character collections include suitable coordinating options to make this easier.
