Name: Thora, 2
Location: Rockford, IL

We live in Oakland, CA, but much of our family is in Rockford, IL. When my daughter turned two, I knew I wanted to celebrate with family. So we packed up, hopped on a plane, and gave ourselves two days execute her little soiree.

Name: Peighton, 1
Location: San Diego, CA

For my daughter's first birthday I wanted a simple party that didn't require a lot of food preparation so I could focus on the decorations. I decided on a Milk & Cookies party as a result.

Name: Chole, 4
Location: Toronto, CN

Chloe loves all things princess so we dreamed up a royal celebration for her and ten of her friends. 

Name: Noah, 7
Location: Springville, UT

My son Noah just turned 7 and he had such a fun party. I heard a couple of months ago about a company called Wild Wonders here in Utah that you can hire to bring animals to your party. Noah loves animals and was beyond thrilled. 

Name: Cameron, 3
Location: Washington, DC

We love to have big special birthday parties in our house — we so enjoy having family and friends all together to celebrate. The kids always pick the theme and then help plan the party. I wasn't at all surprised when Cameron asked for a purple mermaid princess party — those are all of her favorite things!

Location: Charlotte, NC

Having never attended a Korean 1st birthday (Dol), I was shocked to find out how many people would be invited to this celebration. I would compare the guest list to that of a wedding instead of just a few close friends and family, as most Americans would celebrate. With the amount of people that were to attend, we had to be a little creative and stretch every dollar so we wouldn't bust our budget. 

Name: Aiden, 9
Location: San Francisco Bay, CA

My son wanted something bright and cheerful with a castle that he could decorate so I went with a colorful and neon castle theme.

Name: Lala, 4
Location: Los Angeles, CA

Ever since my daughter was introduced to Lalaloopsies in December of last year, she has been hooked! I love the look of the environments in which the characters live; it really lends itself to having a handmade look. I didn’t realize just how deep I would get into hand making everything. I went a little Lala handmade crazy.
