Shindigz is one of the United States' largest retailers of party supplies.
 In 1926 Hubert Stump founded Stump Printing, Inc. (the original name of the company) in South Whitley, Indiana, a small town located just outside Fort Wayne, Indiana.  The original Stumps was started primarily as a local newspaper publisher and commercial printer. Local legend has it that in the depths of the Depression, Hubert Stump was left with one nickel that he could use to either buy a loaf of bread with or put in the church collection plate. Hubert decided to put the nickel in the collection plate. The very next day, he came up with the concept of the "Memorie" booklet, which was printed as a favor for High School Proms and Junior-Senior receptions. The "Memorie" booklet turned out to be a great success.
 Over the following ten years, Stumps broadened its scope, starting to produce items for schools such as menus, award certificates, lunch tickets, and sports timetables. The 1940s saw further diversification with the addition of crepe streamers, balloons, and notably, the debut of the first extensive theme decorating kit named "Evening in Paris." The 1960s marked the introduction of Stumps' inaugural full-color catalog, showcasing a wide variety of themed decorating kits. In 1962, the company relocated to a new manufacturing and distribution center in South Whitley, Indiana, after it was purchased by Hamilton Green, who built his home on part of the property.
 Stumps grew rapidly during the 1970s and 1980s. Stumps not only created the first personalized favors offered to high-school students, but added a new special occasion catalog offering theme party concepts. In 1990, Shep and Wendy Moyle purchased Stumps.
 In 1996, Stumps pioneered the first website devoted entirely to the Prom and party market.
 Wendy Moyle and Norwood "Shep" Moyle returned to the Fort Wayne region and assumed control of their company. They first crossed paths during their tenure at Frito Lay in Dallas, where Shep played a pivotal role in the successful introduction of the Restaurant Style Tostitos chip, prior to their relocation back to Fort Wayne.
 In January 1999, Stumps introduced Shindigz, the world’s inaugural online party superstore. This comprehensive online catalog provided the convenience of web-based shopping.
 Shindigz, Spiritline, and Stumps party are all offshoots of the original Stumps Printing company and are all part of the Shindigz family of brands.
 Shindigz was named "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst and Young in 1999 and one of "Indiana’s 100 Fastest Growing Companies" by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. In 2000, Forbes Magazine named Shindigz.com one of the "Top 400 Websites in America." In the July 2002 issue, Catalog Success magazine named five catalog industry professionals as winners of the first-annual Catalogers of the Year awards. Winners demonstrated innovation in cataloging, measurable company growth, and advancement to the catalog industry as a whole. According to Donna Loyle, editor of Catalog Success, the Business-to-Business Catalogers of the Year award was given to the Moyles because of their impressive business acumen. Since their purchase of Stumps in 1990, the Moyles have taken the company from a one-catalog company with 40 employees to a firm with three websites and over 225 employees. The company now serves the consumer, professional party planner and sports fan.
 Shindigz hosted the annual Shindigz National Soccer invitational for ten years  which took  place in Fort Wayne, IN and welcomes some of the top soccer schools to show case their abilities.
 In 2019, Shindigz moved its corporate headquarters to downtown Fort Wayne and renovated a 110 year old former department store into an open and creative work environment in the heart of DTFW.
 On Dec. 15, 2021, Shindigz told employees and customers that it was temporarily suspending operations “due to the impact of Covid on (its) business and an unforeseen financing issue with (its) bank."
