Hello Kitty Goodie Bag Ideas – My Brain Is Fried! Help! @miadoesparties: Hey everyone! Mia here, from sunny Boise, ID. Hope you all are having a great week!

Ezra’s First Birthday Confetti Crisis! Hey GINYOU fam, Ryan Campbell here, dad from Columbus, OH. So, Ezra, my little guy, is turning one next month.

Hey everyone, Joseph here from Boston! Liam’s big 1-0 is coming up fast, and he’s fully immersed in the blocky world of Minecraft. We’re doing a Minecraft theme, naturally, and I’ve been trying to keep things as low-waste as possible. We’re pretty big on reusable everything at our house – trying to set a good…
@bianca_rive: Okay, party people, Grandma Bianca here, and I need some serious wisdom! My daughter-in-law threw this “Enchanted Forest” shindig for Sofia (my 8-year-old granddaughter) last month, and while it was *fine*, I thought the fairy scavenger hunt dragged a bit. Now it’s my turn to throw a party for Noah (my 2-year-old grandson) and…

@leahdoesparties: Hey GINYOU Party Peeps! It’s Leah from Miami! So, my oldest, Zoe, is turning 12 next month – can you believe it? My baby girl! We’re doing a kind of “big kid” Frozen theme, but I want to make sure it’s not too babyish for her and her friends, plus a few of the…
@joshua_mill: Hey GINYOU fam! Joshua here from San Antonio. We just wrapped up Sofia’s 12th birthday party – an Encanto theme, naturally. She’s obsessed with Mirabel, and honestly, the whole family got into it. Asher (my 4-year-old) even tried to convince me he could talk to donkeys like Antonio, which was hilarious. Luna (6) was…
Hey Ginyou Crew, Matteo Cook here from Philly! My daughter, Sofia, is turning 9 in June. June! Yeah, I know it’s barely spring, but if you know me, you know I start planning way too early. Like, I’ve got spreadsheets for spreadsheets, mostly because Sofia likes to get involved, and I love seeing her little…
Hey everyone, Miles here, from snowy Minneapolis! We’re knee-deep in planning Stella’s 5th birthday, and she’s absolutely set on a farm theme this year. Given how long our winters stretch, indoor parties are a given, so I’m really trying to go all out on the decorations to bring that outdoorsy feel inside. Naturally, that means…
