A B.C. man was surprised by his wife on Tuesday with a birthday party to remember.
Karissa Reynolds saw a trend on TikTok, where someone plans a surprise party at Costco and invites their loved one’s friends and family to show up at the same time.
Her husband, Aaron, was oblivious to the fact that his wife arranged for his family and friends to show up at the store in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island — seemingly randomly. “I’d love to say that I was planning this months in advance, but it was really just the week before,” Karissa told Global News.
“I drew a map of Costco and I sent it to all our friends and family, and I made sure that they were all standing a little bit farther apart. We’re lucky our friends and family are awesome and they just weren’t doing anything the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. So they all came last minute, (it) was great.”
