Throw epic bashes with these 5 fun party supply shops in Malta
Let’s be honest: a party without decorations feels like music without a beat. It’s just missing the magic. Balloons, banners, confetti, and fun props are the secret ingredients that turn gatherings into unforgettable celebrations.
In Malta, where parties are filled with energy and colour, the right supplies set the stage for laughter and memories. They turn even a simple get-together into something Instagram-worthy.
So if you’re planning to throw an event that gets everyone talking, we’ve rounded up the best places for party supply shops in Malta to help you make it happen.
1. PartyTime Malta
Address: 124 Triq Santa Rita, Ir-Rabat RBT 1527
Contact Details: +35627402205
Business Hours: Monday to Saturday: 9 AM – 1 PM
PartyTime has been serving Malta since 1993, making it one of the island’s earliest full-scale party supply shops. Stepping into their Triq Santa Rita store feels like entering a space stacked with everything from costumes to props and balloons.
Their balloon services go beyond the basics, offering arches, bouquets, and even custom prints. Licensed party themes, including big names like Disney and Marvel, instantly stood out during our visit.
Pricing is transparent enough. Bundles start at around €15, while larger event setups can exceed €100.
One drawback came up while we were browsing costumes in-store: not all items are available on the shelves, with some being online-only.
Still, their selection surprised us with wigs, inflatables, and quirky props alongside traditional partyware. Having a physical store to explore and an online system makes them versatile when planning last-minute or large-scale celebrations.
Has everything you need for any celebration
“Party Time Rabat is a fantastic shop with everything you need for any celebration, from birthday parties to carnival events. They offer a wide range of balloons, decorations, costumes, party supplies, and more. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the shop is well-organised, making it easy to find exactly what you need. A one-stop shop for all your party essentials in Malta!”
– Amy Marie Borg, Google Review
Genuine customer service
“Such a pleasant shopping experience. I found all I needed for my party, and the owner even suggested other options for what I had in mind so I save money. It’s refreshing to see such genuine customer service, with a smile and eager to help out – that’s not to mention the great quality of the products. Would definitely recommend to anyone throwing a party!”

2. BEMANIA Party Supplies
Address: 249 Constitution St, Mosta
Contact Details: +35627048825
Business Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 9 AM – 7 PM
- Sunday: 9 AM – 11 AM
BEMANIA has been around for over 15 years, and their store has grown into a one-stop hub for decorations, balloons, and even novelty gifts.
Event rentals are where they really shine, with options like bubble machines, popcorn makers, and candy carts that instantly elevate gatherings. Balloon services also go big here, with supershaped foil balloons and custom garland set-ups available.
But just a heads up: their return and exchange policies are stricter than those of other shops. Costumes can only be swapped for a different size, while novelty items or wigs are usually non-returnable.
On the pricing side, balloons start at €10, while themed set-ups, such as their Mamma Mia arch, run around €250, including delivery. Some items, like cake props, are regularly discounted to half price or less.
Around Carnival or Christmas, we’ve seen them roll out unique seasonal themes that feel fresher.
Assist you in everything you need
“It was my friends’ 25th Wedding Anniversary and I came here – the staff are so helpful and polite and go out of their way to assist you in everything you need – excellent customer service. One stop shop – and I definitely mean it. Thank you Bemania for making this day so memorable – I will be back really soon… Thank you and keep up the excellent work.”

3. Once Upon A Time – Party Shop Malta (San Ġwann)
Address: Once Upon A Time (Party Shop, 81 Triq Tal-Mensija, San Ġwann SGN 1604
Contact Details: +35621385006
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 7 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 2 PM
Since 2012, Once Upon A Time in San Ġwann has become one of Malta’s most established party shops. Over the years, they’ve been part of more than 380,000 celebrations, and the shop feels like a proper one-stop solution.
Their catalogue is huge, with about 29,000 items covering everything from party supplies and balloons to wedding accessories and fancy dress.
Ordering online is convenient, but delivery for standard items usually takes 2–4 working days. For faster options, pick-up from their Men’sija Road shop is more reliable during weekdays.
Their delivery terms are clear too. We love that they offer free delivery for orders over €100 for inflated balloons in Malta, though these don’t get sent to Gozo.
Themed bundles stand out here, with options for kids’ birthdays, baby showers, and even seasonal or religious celebrations. Costumes are another strong suit, as they stock complete outfits for children and adults along with wigs, hats, masks, and props.
Responsive, fast, and polite
“These guys are awesome. Responsive, fast, polite. I’ve bought some helium inflated balloons here. The best prices on Malta must I say. I really appreciated the help and advice from the sellers. If you need to throw a party – these fellas are the top choice.”
– Bob Rob, Google Review
A service with a complete cordial element
“One upon a time is a one stop shop, when it comes to an event plan, where one can get a complete order. It serves a wholistic package for any event/celebration and a service with a complete cordial element! Highly recommend!”

4. A&B’s Party Paradise
Address: 1 Triq Parades, San Pawl, SPB 3439
Contact Details: +35621575797
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 7 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 3 PM
- Sunday: 9 AM – 12 PM
A&B’s Party Paradise is a one-stop shop with everything from balloons and costumes to full event setups. Walking in, the balloon selection really jumps out: foil, latex, oversized numbers, and even personalised prints for weddings or corporate events.
They also rent out helium tanks that can handle up to 30 balloons, giving you the freedom to inflate on-site. Event setups are another big part of their service, covering baptisms, communions, birthdays, and anniversaries with a professional touch.
Prices were fair, with balloon bouquets starting around €12 and climbing to over €80 for elaborate designs. However, competition across Malta means you might stumble upon cheaper alternatives in other shops.
Costumes and accessories add an extra layer of convenience, with themed outfits available for both kids and adults, as well as props like hats and wigs.
For something a bit different, their piñatas stood out as a fun alternative to party bags, with options featuring unicorns, mermaids, and dinosaurs on display.
Helpful, responsive, and produced a beautiful display
“Zsophia from A&B’s Party Paradise was fantastic from start to finish. We arranged a balloon display for an event to celebrate a family birthday and to congratulate the newlyweds having travelled from Scotland to Malta for my brother’s wedding. Zsophia was incredibly helpful, responsive and produced a beautiful display for a reasonable price. Everything was taken care of with no fuss which was exactly what we needed. Would have no hesitation in recommending A&B’s Party Paradise!”

Stunning and thoughtfully tailored to the theme
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with A & B` s Party Paradise for two of our events—last year and again this year—and we couldn’t be happier with the results both times! Her balloon decor is always stunning and thoughtfully tailored to the theme, adding such a special touch to each celebration. One of the things we truly appreciate is how helpful and communicative she is throughout the entire process. Even while preparing the decor ahead of time, she kept us updated every step of the way, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can really tell she cares about getting every detail just right.
Highly recommended.”

5. Posh Party
Address: 316 Triq Luqa Briffa, Il-Gżira GZR 1508
Contact Details: +35627135494
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 1 PM and 3 PM – 7 PM
- Saturday: 9 AM – 7 PM
Posh Party in Gżira carries close to a thousand products across categories: balloons, costumes, partyware, novelties, and more—all neatly organised in-store and online.
The themes extend beyond the basics, encompassing Disney characters and mermaids, as well as steampunk, vintage, and Pride. Weddings, engagements, baptisms, and baby showers are equally well catered for.
However, they don’t explicitly mention specialised set-up or installation services. If you’re looking for full-scale styling with on-site execution, you may need to arrange outside help to complete the look.
Regardless, costume lovers will find plenty to choose from, with outfits suitable for both kids and adults, as well as detailed accessories such as wigs and props.
Another part that stood out is how easy it is to use their website to filter products by theme, size, or colour on their site. Browsing felt quick and intuitive.
Excellent customer service
“Amazing decoration and very helpful and friendly owners I called in to check before I went if they have for a 13 year boy and basketball items and when I arrived they had them ready to show me . Excellent customer service . Well-done”
