Who invited all those TV stars to the party? They’re so loud and high maintenance — not to mention attention-seeking.

Next time, skip the cartoon celeb showcase in favor of Tin Parade Vintage Party Goods. They specialize in party kits with a special homemade vibe little guests are sure to tune into.

Choose from adorable old-timey themes like Ruby’s Tea Party, Oscar’s Baseball Party, and Jax’s Train Party (hobo stick goody bags included). Kits are for eight or sixteen guests and include all the fixings for a memorable day.

So you don’t have to go looney tunes.
