Mom Rents Restaurant for Baby’s Cake, IG Flex Wins; Bank Account Gasps
Paulina Roe threw a Louis XIV-level first birthday for her daughter—think rented restaurant with open bar (for adults, obviously), two-layer cakes, face painters, balloon artists, glitter tattoos, and even Build-a-Bear goodie bags instead of candy. Matching outfits for the whole family sealed the Instagram deal. The post-party aftermath? A $1,200 bill that haunted her wallet longer than any baby’s tantrum and a floor glittered enough to trigger a unicorn conservation crisis. Moments of Insta-validation washed away as quickly as the leftover quesadillas. Paulina admits: it was more about proving 'Mom can still party' than about the floor-food-eating baby.

Spent $1200 renting a restaurant and hiring clown-level entertainers to prove to Instagram she’s still a ‘fun mom’—meanwhile baby’s main thrill was eating dog food off the floor. Social media: where the highlight reel masks the $1,200 hangover.
Why throw a kids party when you can throw a meticulously planned social media flex with pizza, balloons, and a build-a-bear cosplay? Baby barely notices but Instagram followers click 'like' like their lives depend on it.
Mom’s first birthday party budget looks like she was prepping for a royal summit. The baby, meanwhile, petting the dog’s food bowl probably gave better party reviews.
