The alternative to buying a boxed party game pack
You can buy a boxed set of party games, baby shower bingo and the rest, and have it shipped. It is the no-printer, no-typing option, and for some parties that is exactly right. The trade-offs are that the games are generic, every guest gets the same board, and you wait for delivery. Festafetti is the print-at-home path when you want the games built around your own party and you want them today.

How pre-printed party games works
Boxed and pre-printed party game packs are a physical product you buy for a fixed price, commonly for a set number of players, and have shipped to you. The games are pre-written and generic so they suit any party, which means they are not built from your words, the bingo cards are usually one shared board, and you wait on delivery and are capped at the count in the box.
Festafetti is one payment of $19 per party. You preview the whole pack free, with no account, and pay only when you want the clean, print-ready PDFs.
When Festafetti fits
Festafetti is the better choice if you want the games personalized and you want them now. Type your party's words and it builds a unique bingo card per guest plus a scramble, quiz, scavenger hunt, and advice cards, print-ready the same day for one payment. You are not capped at a box count, and nothing is generic.
When pre-printed party games fits
A pre-printed pack is the better choice if you have no printer, do not want to type anything, and are happy with generic games. If you would rather open a box than run a home printer, and a standard set suits your party, buying one and having it delivered is genuinely simpler.

Questions
Is Festafetti cheaper than buying a boxed party game set?
Often, and it does not cap you at a player count. A boxed set is a fixed price for the number of cards in the box; if more guests come, you need another box. Festafetti is one payment per party for print-ready games you can run off for up to 200 guests. The trade is that you print them yourself rather than opening a finished box.
Do I need a printer for Festafetti?
Yes. Festafetti gives you print-ready PDF files and you print them at home or at a copy shop on US Letter. If you would rather not print at all, a pre-printed boxed set that ships to you is the better fit; that is the honest trade-off.
Are boxed party games personalized?
No. A boxed set is pre-written to suit any party, so the bingo squares and quiz are generic and usually the same for every guest. Festafetti builds the games from your own words and gives each guest a different bingo card, which a printed box cannot do.
