Alright, Ginyou fam! Sienna here, from Louisville. You know me, I’m already deep into planning Miles’ (he’ll be 6 next month!) birthday. He’s OBSESSED with fairies right now, thanks to his older brother Diego (12, and totally pretending he’s too cool but I caught him watching a fairy movie with Miles last week, ha!). Anyway,…
Race Car Party Tableware Set: Are we all overthinking this, or just me? @the_real_isla: Hey Ginyou fam! Isla here, from sunny Houston. Surviving another week with my three little tornadoes, plus the twenty-odd kids at daycare. Lots of coffee has been consumed this morning, naturally. Just wrapped up planning Asher’s 9th birthday, and we went…
Hey GINYOU Crew, Wyatt here! @wyatt_partydad: Alright folks, I’m in a bit of a pickle over here in Sacramento. My middle girl, Chloe, is turning 8 soon, and she’s absolutely obsessed with Spiderman right now. Like, full-on, wears the mask to breakfast, swinging from the banister (don’t worry, safety first, mostly) kind of obsessed. So,…
@arjun92: Hey Ginyou fam! Arjun here from Pittsburgh. So, Piper’s turning 7 in a few months, and she’s already set on a Minecraft party. I’ve been doing my usual deep look at Pinterest (seriously, it’s a problem, I know!), and my brain is overflowing with ideas. My other daughter, Emma, is just 1, so I…
Hey GINYOUTribe, Daniel here from sunny Jacksonville! Man, I just survived Owen’s 5th birthday party, and I gotta tell you, it was a blur of red, green, and a whole lot of jumping. My middle guy, Owen, is obsessed with Mario right now. Like, seriously obsessed. So, naturally, the theme was Mario Party. Between Max…
@aurora_kim: Pirate Party Success! But my pirate party tablecloth set almost caused a mutiny! 😵💫 OMG, you guys!!! You HAVE to hear about Ezra’s 3rd birthday pirate bash this past weekend! 🎉🏴☠️ It was epic! Seriously, I started planning this back in December (yes, I’m *that* mom, lol) and I was so nervous about pulling…
Hey everyone! Aisha_partymom here from rainy Pittsburgh, where the steel bridges are a little more exciting than our backyard right now. My grandkids, Ethan (2), Beckett (6), Jude (8), and Cole (9), are all of a sudden obsessed with cowboys and cowgirls. Like, full-on, boots-and-hats-everywhere obsessed. And, of course, that means a “wild west” birthday…
@zoey86: Hey GINYOUS! Long-time lurker, first-time poster – well, technically I’ve posted in the crafting section about my Cricut disasters, but this is a bigger, more sparkly emergency. Stella, my amazing 8-year-old niece, just had her birthday a couple of weeks ago. She’s OBSESSED with unicorns, so naturally, it was a full-on unicorn party. We…
Mario Party Napkins: Am I going crazy, or is this harder than it sounds?! @michael92: Hey everyone! Michael from Richmond here, dad of three amazing kids: Chloe (5), Ezra (7), and Hazel (12). We’re knee-deep in planning Hazel’s 12th birthday party, and she’s absolutely set on a Mario Party theme. I’ve been planning this for…
Help! My “budget” pirate party for a 10 year old is turning into a shipwreck. @audreydoesparties: Okay, you guys. I need some serious intervention here. My husband Rafael keeps giving me “the look” every time another Amazon box shows up. We’re fostering a wonderful 10-year-old, Lily, right now, and she’s just obsessed with pirates. So,…
