Unusual birthday party themes are becoming quite popular, and we’ve seen some creative ones, like a boy celebrating at a Target store and a girl whose mom threw her a CVS-themed bash. Now, we have a delightful little girl who is all about Costco.
Meet Lily Thompson, who just turned five and opted for a Costco-themed birthday party instead of the typical princess or unicorn celebration. “She absolutely loves Costco,” her mom, Sarah Thompson, shared with us. Rather than steer her towards a different theme, Sarah decided to embrace Lily’s passion. “We served hot dogs and pizza, set up sampling stations, created faux money with her face on it, and treated everyone to Costco pizza and Kirkland ice cream. We even set up a mini shop where guests made their own ‘membership cards.’”
Honestly, why weren’t we on the guest list? This sounds like a blast!
Party Highlights
First up, look at those samples – all thanks to Costco.
Every item was neatly labeled for the shoppers’ convenience.
And of course, no Costco party would be complete without Kirkland’s famous pizza.
The guest of honor was crowned Employee of the Month, proudly displaying her face on the currency.
To celebrate, Lily had a special cake — after all, five years of being a Costco fan is worth marking!
According to Sarah, Lily’s Costco party dreams have been in the works for two years, and they were thrilled to bring it to life. The local Costco in their area even made a special employee badge just for her.
Before heading home, guests received goodie bags filled with bulk items, naturally.
They even got to experience the checkout lane!
Guests truly appreciated the creativity and attention to detail that Sarah and Lily put into the celebration. “Everyone found it hilarious and quirky, just like my daughter,” Sarah remarked. “One little girl even said it was the best party she had ever attended, including her own.” By the end of the day, Lily was a very happy employee.
As for Lily’s reaction to all the online buzz about her Costco-themed party, her mom mentioned that she’s already somewhat accustomed to fame. “She loves it. Last year, a picture of her was posted by a famous celebrity, and she still thinks she’s famous.” Now that her party is getting recognized, Sarah adds, “She’s loving all the attention!”
We can’t wait to see what next year’s celebration will bring!
