What Affiliate Links Mean for Visitors
Some product links may earn Party Whammy a commission, but recommendations are chosen for usefulness first.
How Links Work
Where Affiliate Links May Appear
Affiliate links can appear in supply lists, product mentions, and practical recommendations inside guides.
Supply lists
Party supply links may be affiliate links when a retailer program is available.
Product mentions
Specific product links may earn a commission if the item fits the advice.
Internal links
Links between Party Whammy guides are not affiliate links.
Some links on Party Whammy are affiliate links. If you buy through one of those links, the retailer may pay Party Whammy a small commission at no extra cost to you. The people and standards behind the site are described on the About Party Whammy page, so you can see who is writing the recommendations before you trust one.
How Party Whammy Chooses What to Link
Guides start with the advice, not the commission. Products appear when they help a real host solve a real party problem. Many good party solutions use supplies you already own, dollar-store basics, printables, or no purchase at all. The same independence rules are written out in the editorial policy, including how guides get reviewed and updated. When a guide does cover safety gear — smoke checks, first-aid basics, gate latches — the party safety checklist names what to have on hand by quantity and purpose, not by brand.
What This Means for Visitors
Affiliate links help support the site, but they do not decide the recommendation. If a free, cheaper, or simpler option is better, the guide should say so. Questions about any link can go through the contact page — naming the guide and the link gets a faster answer. What happens to any information you leave on the site is covered separately in the privacy policy.
Where independence matters most is advice that affects other people’s kids. Our guide on how to collect food-allergy information on an RSVP recommends question wording rather than a paid form tool, and the parent communication checklist gives you free templates for the same messages. Even our photo etiquette advice on how to ask before sharing party photos works with nothing more than a text message.
