@ava86: Hey GINYOU fam! Ava here from sunny Raleigh, NC. My grand-niece, who just turned the big one-oh, is obsessed with safaris right now, which honestly, I kinda love. Her name’s Maya, and she’s a force of nature, just like a little lioness, so it tracks! Anyway, her birthday is coming up in about six…
Hello, GINYOU Party Community! It’s Ava Chen here from sunny Sacramento. Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start! My sweet Alice is turning five next month, and guess what? All she can talk about is Minecraft. Seriously, the kid lives and breathes it. Her older sister Willow, who’s 13 now, actually got her…
Help! My Kindergartner Wants a Lego Party and I’m Already Panicking Oh, my heart! My sweet Hazel is turning five soon, and suddenly all she can talk about are lego party ideas for kindergartner. Asher, bless his two-year-old heart, is just saying ‘block, block!’ every time she mentions it. It’s a joy, truly, watching their…
@madelyn.okonkwo: Okay, GINYOU fam, I need to vent and maybe get some real talk here. Everyone talks about these “easy safari party ideas” like they’re just… easy. But my experience for Caleb’s 8th birthday has me wondering if I’m living in a different dimension, or if “easy” just means “slightly less stressful than hosting a…
Farm Animal Frenzy! My search for decorations is wild, where do YOU all shop? @cora85: OMG, party planning peeps! Cora here from Baltimore! 🎉 My sweet little Ivy is turning ONE in just three months (I know, I know, I start early! It’s the teacher in me, gotta be prepared!), and we are doing a…
Hey GINYOU fam! Victoria from Tampa here, @victoriadoesparties. You guys know I love a good party, but with five kids (Diego is 1, Willow is 6, Luna is 8, Stella is 11, Chloe is 12) and being a foster mom, our budget for party decor is, let’s just say, *fluid*. And by fluid, I mean…
Hello fellow party planners and survivalists! Gabriella Schneider here, aka @gabriella_partymom, checking in from sunny (and expensive!) San Francisco. My littlest, Alice, just turned five – can you believe it? Five already! It feels like yesterday she was barely wobbling, and now she’s a full-on Peppa Pig fanatic. Every morning, it’s Peppa, Peppa, Peppa. So,…
Frozen Party Backdrops: My Grandkids Deserve a Winter Wonderland, But How?! Chloe King (the_real_chloe): Oh, my goodness, party planning is just the sweetest thing, isn’t it? My little Cole is turning four next month, and you know what that means – another Frozen party! He absolutely adores Elsa and Anna. Last year, for Emma’s 10th,…
camila84: Hey everyone! Oh my goodness, I swear time just flies by faster and faster every year. It feels like just yesterday I was planning Isla’s 7th birthday, and now her 8th is literally next Saturday! I know, I know, last-minute planner extraordinaire, that’s me! Kwame just shakes his head, but he knows I always…
Hey GINYOU Party Community! My name is Andrew, I’m a homeschool dad up here in Charlotte, NC. My wife Genesis and I have three amazing kids: Aria (3), Leo (10), and Jude (11). Plus, our shih tzu, Maple, who thinks she’s one of the kids. You know me, I like to plan. Like, seriously plan….
