Imagine turning your passion for bulk buys and unbeatable deals into the theme of your birthday party. That’s exactly what Rachel Huynh, a 27-year-old immunology PhD student and an ardent Costco enthusiast, did for her special day. The setting? Her home in Portland, Oregon, transformed into a mini-Costco, complete with all the beloved store features. This wasn’t just a party; it was a Costco carnival in the heart of a residence.
Dubbed the ‘Costco Super Fan’, Rachel’s devotion to the wholesale giant is nothing short of legendary. Think about it – celebrating your birthday with a theme dedicated to your favorite store. It’s like turning your love for chocolate into a Willy Wonka wonderland, but in this case, it’s all about those irresistible bulk deals and the iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.
The mastermind behind this unique bash was none other than Rachel’s husband, Tony Huynh. The couple, united in their Costco craze, put their creative hats on and got to work. Using a Cricket cutting machine and Canva, they crafted custom decorations that would make any Costco walk-in jealous. From ‘Member of the Month‘ signs to Costco quote boards, the Huynhs’ living room was a mirror image of the store’s welcoming aisles.
But wait, there’s more! The attention to detail was mind-blowing. Rachel, in her replicated Costco supervisor vest, was the epitome of store pride. Price tags scattered around the house, employee badges for all guests – it was as if you’d stepped into a Costco wonderland. And let’s not forget the ‘Costco Photo Center’ photo booth, adding a dash of whimsy for those Instagram-worthy moments.
Now, onto the pièce de résistance – the food! No Costco-themed party would be complete without the legendary food court spread. Hot dogs, chicken bakes, and pizza galore, it was a feast fit for a warehouse-sized appetite. It’s the kind of spread that makes you wish every meal could be a Costco extravaganza.
But this wasn’t just a party; it was a viral sensation. A recap video of the celebration, showcasing the Costco-themed dedication, exploded on Instagram with over 373,000 likes. It turns out, Rachel isn’t the only one with a Costco-sized love for the store. Guests arrived in official Costco gear, turning the party into a parade of warehouse worshipers.
Imagine the conversations at this party – discussions not about the weather or work, but about the best bulk deals and the latest finds at the local Costco. It’s like a community of like-minded shoppers coming together in celebration of their shared passion.
In a world where birthday themes are often predictable, Rachel’s Costco party stands out as a testament to originality and personal passion. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best way to celebrate is by embracing what you love, no matter how unconventional it may seem.
So, next time you’re planning a birthday bash, think of Rachel Huynh and her Costco-themed party. Who knows, maybe your passion for gardening, books, or even your favorite TV show could turn into the next big party hit. After all, when it comes to celebrations, the sky – or should we say, the warehouse ceiling – is the limit!
