Our Commitment to Transparency
Party Planning Essentials is committed to providing honest, helpful party planning advice and product recommendations. To maintain transparency with our readers, we want you to understand how our site operates and how we may earn income from the content we provide.
Affiliate Relationships
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Party Planning Essentials participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our ability to provide helpful content for busy hosts and parents planning memorable celebrations.
Our Review Standards
We only recommend products that we genuinely believe will be helpful for party planning and entertaining. Our recommendations are based on:
- Personal experience with products when possible
- Thorough research of product features and customer reviews
- Consideration of value, quality, and usefulness for party hosts
- Assessment of how products fit different budgets and party styles
What This Means for You
No Extra Cost: When you purchase through our affiliate links, you pay the same price you would pay going directly to Amazon. The commission we receive comes from Amazon, not from any additional charge to you.
Honest Reviews: Our affiliate relationships do not influence our honest opinions. We strive to provide balanced, helpful information whether or not we earn a commission from your purchase.
Supporting Our Content: The small commissions we earn help us maintain this website, research new products, and continue creating helpful party planning content for our readers.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with FTC guidelines, we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships. You will see disclosures like “affiliate link,” “paid link,” or “#ad” near affiliate content throughout our site.
Other Affiliate Programs
While Amazon Associates is our primary affiliate program, we may participate in other affiliate programs with party supply companies, decoration retailers, or entertainment services. Any such relationships will be clearly disclosed.
