We don’t start with a theme.We start with them.

Personalized children's birthday celebrations inspired by who they are, what they love, and all the little things that make them light up.

You know them best.We know how to bring it to life.

Their favorite things. Their latest obsession. The color they always choose. What makes them laugh. The little details that are unmistakably them.

We take everything you know and love about the person you’re celebrating and turn it into an experience that feels completely their own.

Not a party pulled from a template. Something that feels like them.

Birthdays should feel like them.

Whether it’s their very first birthday or the year they suddenly have opinions about absolutely everything, we create celebrations around exactly who they are right now.

Melissa, Founder & Creative Director of Wonder & Whim

Hi, I’m Melissa.

I’ve been creating celebrations for my own three children, family, and friends for more than 15 years.

What I’ve always loved most isn’t choosing a theme or making something beautiful. It’s finding the little things that make someone who they are and figuring out how to turn those things into a celebration they’ll never forget.

Wonder & Whim grew from a simple belief:

The party isn’t the point. The person is.

Planning a birthday but not quite ready to hand it over?

Take a Birthday Breather.

Before you open another Pinterest board, spend 10 minutes figuring out what actually matters. Melissa’s free Birthday Breather will help you think about who your child is right now, what you want the day to feel like, and what you can happily skip.

You shouldn’t have to miss the moment because you’re busy making it happen.

Let us worry about the details.

You get to watch their face. Laugh with them. Take the picture you’re actually in. And remember why you wanted to make this day special in the first place.

The party may only last a few hours. Being there for it is something you get to keep.

“Melissa took everything we knew our daughter loved and turned it into a birthday that felt completely like her. The best part was that I wasn’t running around worrying about what needed to happen next. I actually got to enjoy the party with my family and watch her take it all in.”

You just need someone worth celebrating.
