With stores located throughout Idaho and Utah, Zurchers just recently began to build its web presence but is quickly becoming a competitive online source for party goods.

For the most part, Zurchers offers the same supplies you find at any party store; however, there were a few product categories that caught our eye. First, the company is the only one that offered a School Spirit section comprised of pom poms, medals, awards and more. Second, the website has an entire section devoted completely to weddings and subsequently, Zurchers hands-down offers one of if not the best wedding supplies selection of any site we reviewed. They don’t simply sell the standard supplies such as tableware and candles; brides-to-be and wedding planners alike will find guest books, pen sets, toasting glasses and much more. There’s also a wide assortment of products that can be customized including invitations and napkins.

While customers can contact Zurchers a handful of ways (email, online contact form, and a toll-free number), the site is seriously lacking when it comes to other customer service options. The FAQs are extremely sparse and offer very little information. Customers with specific questions or concerns will likely need to contact the company directly.

If for nothing else, Zurchers deserves a mention for their blog; they are one of just two of the party supplies sites we reviewed that offered users a blog that is updated regularly. The blog offers tons of chic and fun, yet budget-friendly party and décor ideas (e.g. how to make paper lanterns or unique gift wrapping ideas).
