@the_real_eliana: Hey GINYOU fam! Eliana from San Diego here, juggling four kiddos and a preschool classroom, so you know my life is basically controlled chaos, usually covered in glitter or paint. My sweet Aurora just turned four, and guess what she wanted? A full-blown Peppa Pig party. Of course! It’s all she talks about with…
@the_real_kinsley: Hey everyone, Kinsley here from Kansas City! Colton just got transferred again, so another move is coming up for us in about a year, but Hazel’s 11th birthday is in May and she is absolutely set on a Pokémon party. Emma, my 13-year-old, rolled her eyes so hard I thought they might get stuck,…
@cameron_hoff: Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. So, my youngest, Ethan, is turning four next month, and he is FULL ON obsessed with Paw Patrol. Like, wakes up talking about Ryder and Chase, sleeps with a Marshall plush, the whole nine yards. Of course, this means his birthday party request is a Paw Patrol…
Lucas.kumar: Is my “Ultimate Barbie Dream Party” spreadsheet insane? Liam’s 5th is NEXT MONTH! Hey GINYOU fam! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. My son, Liam, is turning 5 next month, and he is OBSESSED with Barbie right now. Not just the movie, but the whole vibe. So, naturally, I’ve decided to throw him the most…
Hey everyone, Benjamin here from Baltimore! My son Ezra just turned 8, and the kid is absolutely obsessed with LEGOs. So, naturally, his birthday party last weekend was a full-blown brickfest. I actually went a little overboard trying to make it cool for the adults too, not just the kids. I had this vision of…
@ivy_o’br: Hey everyone! Ivy from Milwaukee here. My Stella, bless her heart, is turning 12 next month and she’s decided she wants a full-blown “princess” theme. Twelve, can you believe it? She just discovered those early 2000s princess movies and now suddenly everything has to be pink and sparkly. My other grandkids, Arjun (the 2-year-old)…
Hey GINYOU fam! Sebastian here from Columbus, OH. Just survived (and by survived, I mean thrived, mostly!) Lily’s 2nd birthday party. We went full-on Peppa Pig this year, because, well, that’s all she talks about. My little Ezra (who’s 3 now, feels like yesterday he was just a tiny tot!) was almost as excited as…
Okay, GINYOU fam, Mei here from Denver. Just survived Chloe’s (my 5-year-old) fairy party this past weekend – bless her little glitter-covered heart. It was a chaotic good time, seriously, the kids had a blast running around the backyard pretending to be woodland sprites. But y’all, the party favors have me in a spiral for…
@caroline.schneider: Hey GINYOU fam! It feels like just yesterday I was planning Zoe’s first birthday, and now my sweet girl is nine! Can you believe it? Where does the time go? As a daycare owner here in Omaha, NE, I’m surrounded by kids all day, every day, and then I come home to my own…
isabelladoescrafts: Okay, you guys. I need to know I’m not alone here. Lily just turned four and all she wanted for her birthday was a fairy party. Like, full-on wings, pixie dust, mushroom houses, the whole deal. Now, I love a good theme, but also, I’m a military spouse, we move every five years, and…
