     This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2007 and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 19, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 filed on November 6, 2007 (the “Schedule TO”) relating to a tender offer by Amscan Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amscan Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Factory Card & Party Outlet Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $16.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 1, 2007, as amended by the Schedule TO on October 19, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

     Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO.

     The Items of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference information contained in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     Item 11 of this Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

     The subsequent offering period expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Thursday, November 15, 2007. According to the Depositary for the Offer, as of such time approximately 3,182,850 Shares were tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn, including 2,987,932 Shares tendered during the initial offering period and 194,918 Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period, all of which represent approximately 92.6% of all outstanding Shares. Purchaser accepted and promptly paid for all Shares tendered during the initial offering period. Purchaser accepted for payment Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Payment for Shares accepted for payment during the subsequent offering period will be made promptly.

     On November 16, 2007, AAH Holdings Corporation, the parent of Parent, and the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the subsequent offering period and Purchaser’s intention to acquire all of the remaining outstanding Shares by effecting a “short-form” Merger under Delaware law without action by any other stockholder, as Purchaser has acquired more than 90% of the outstanding Shares. In the Merger, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company and the Company will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. In the Merger, each Share of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be cancelled and (except for Shares held by Parent, its subsidiaries or stockholders properly exercising statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $16.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

     The full text of the press release issued by AAH Holdings Corporation and the Company on November 16, 2007 is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(D) to this Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 12. EXHIBITS

     Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of Exhibit (a)(5)(D) and, as so amended, is restated as follows:
