 PROFILE
Party like it's still 1999 if you want to be old-fashioned, but CelebrateExpress.com offers a newer approach. The company offers scores of themed party packages through its namesake and BirthdayExpress.com Web sites. The packages include planning help (themes, activities) and supplies (paper products, balloons, favors, costumes) for birthdays, baby showers, tailgate parties, holiday parties, and other occasions. The company itself designs, sources, and produces more than 40% of its merchandise, offering such private-label items as crepe paper and pinñatas. Among CelebrateExpress.com's marketing partners is baking-mix maker Pillsbury. Jan and Mike Jewell own 51% of the company, which the couple founded in 1994.
