“My DIY Party Planning Tale”
If you told me a few years ago that one day I’d be googling “How to make a DIY hot air balloon centerpiece with clouds,” I would’ve probably laughed… nervously. But here I am, covered in glitter, one sock missing (no idea), and writing this with a full heart after throwing my daughter Madison her dream Rainbow Ruby birthday party. I’m a girl in my late 20s, working from my cozy little home as a freelance writer who’s totally obsessed with pretty things and Pinterest boards.

As someone who’s been elbows-deep in ribbon, confetti, and frosting (too much frosting), I can tell you — you don’t need a Hollywood-sized budget to throw a party that sparkles. So come on in, mama. Grab your iced coffee (I’ll pretend it’s still cold), and let me walk you through how I planned a magical Rainbow Ruby birthday — with tons of love, tons of color, and yes, totally free printable party templates that saved me so much money (more on that soon!).
