Rainbow Party Supplies for Noah’s 2nd – DIY or Buy? I’m torn! @joseph_hall: Hey everyone, Joseph here from sunny Phoenix, AZ. It’s already heating up here, hit 90 degrees yesterday, which means I’m stuck inside plotting for my grandson Noah’s second birthday. Can you believe it? My little guy is turning two! He’s absolutely obsessed…
@sophia_ferr: Hey everyone, San Francisco foster mom here, currently planning what feels like my millionth kids’ party in as many months! We’re doing a princess theme for Ellie’s 7th birthday – think tiaras, glitter (send help for the cleanup!), and lots of pink. My husband Leo usually handles the food, but I’m on supplies duty…
Baby Shark Party Blower Showdown! What lasted past the first “doo doo doo”? @the_real_alexander: Hey Ginyou Party Fam! Alexander here from sunny San Diego. Just wrapped up Liam’s 10th birthday – yes, ten! Can you believe it? He’s still obsessed with Baby Shark, and frankly, so are we. This year, we decided to go all…
Okay, GINYOU fam, I am in a full-blown Spiderman panic! My little Leo is turning three next month – three! Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday he was a tiny baby, and now he’s running around, scaling everything, and, of course, utterly obsessed with Spiderman. Every single morning, it’s “Mommy, where’s Spidey?”…
Grandpa Adrian here – My Granddaughter Chloe’s Bluey Party Challenge! Okay, GINYOU fam, I need to know. Am I crazy or just dedicated? My granddaughter Chloe, who just turned 12, is still absolutely obsessed with Bluey. I mean, we’ve watched every episode probably five times. She even got me to do “The Grumpy Loop” with…
Confetti Catastrophe or Pure Joy? My Peppa Pig Confetti Quest! Hey GINYOU fam! Penelope here from the windy city, foster mom to Caleb (1), Maya (2), and Nora (13) – and currently elbow-deep in party planning for the toddlers. You know how it is. Maya is OBSESSED with Peppa Pig right now, and for her…
Pirate Party Photo Booth: Cardboard vs. Inflatables for Props? @fatima_partymom: Alright, fellow party planners, I need to pick your brains. My middle son, Owen (the 3-year-old tornado), is absolutely obsessed with pirates right now. Think “Arrr!” all day, every day. So naturally, his upcoming birthday is going to be a full-blown pirate bash. I’ve got…
@kenji.patel: Okay, Ginyou fam. I just wrapped up a mermaid party for a client’s 7-year-old and honestly? It went… okay. I mean, the DIY seashell headbands were a disaster, but the kids still had fun. Now, I’ve got a new gig, and I’m already feeling the anxiety kick in. The client wants to know how…
@eliana.weber: Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. It’s Eliana from Louisville. Max, my middle guy (he’s 6 now, crazy how fast they grow!), is having a Minecraft birthday party next month. We’re doing it at our house, mostly outdoors if the Kentucky weather cooperates, which… during Derby season, you never know, right? I’m usually…
Hey everyone! Connor here from rainy Portland, OR. Hope you’re all having a less damp day than we are! My coffee pot is working overtime because Diego, my littlest (he’s three now, can you believe it?), has decided he’s going to be an astronaut for his birthday next month. And not just any astronaut, he…
