Forget princesses and unicorns—this little girl just turned five and threw a birthday bash that would make any bargain hunter proud. Meet Lily Carter, the pint-sized Costco enthusiast whose party theme was all about the ultimate shopping experience.
“She absolutely loves Costco,” says her mom, Sarah Carter. Instead of steering Lily toward a more traditional party theme, Sarah embraced her daughter’s passion. “We served hot dogs and pizza, set up sample stations, printed ‘Carter Bucks’ with her face on them, and had plenty of Kirkland ice cream. We even created a mini-shop where kids could design their own ‘membership cards.’”
Seriously, can you say “best party ever”?
Sample Stations Galore
First up, the samples! Because what’s a Costco celebration without free tastings? Every item was labeled for optimal shopper convenience—because even five-year-olds appreciate a little organization. And no Costco party is complete without that famous pizza!
Lily was crowned Employee of the Month, complete with her own currency, and to top it all off, she got a special cake to commemorate her big milestone. This Costco-themed extravaganza was two years in the making, and to make it even more special, the local Winston-Salem Costco created an employee badge just for her!
Goody Bags and Checkout Fun
As if that weren’t enough, guests received goody bags stuffed with bulk items and even got to run through the checkout lane. Talk about attention to detail! Sarah shared that guests found the quirky theme hilarious, with one little girl even declaring it the best party she’d ever attended—better than her own!
By the end of the day, Lily was one ecstatic employee. And as for the birthday girl’s newfound internet fame? “She’s used to it at this point,” says Sarah. “She loves all the attention!”
We can only hope next year’s party is just as much of a steal. And if you want to read more about exciting themes, check out this post for more inspiration!
