View Example below:

Spoiler: My bag and 5 items

1. inflatable plaza toy
Imagine suddenly dunking a giant, pink inflatable elephant in a small room and trapping everyone with you. It'll be fun.
2. stage flame machine
This will help us see at night or keep us warm when it gets chilly.
3. extinguisher
Anything can go wrong when there's 20 candles on a cake.
4. rodeo-style springy ride-on
I thought this would work well as an easy-mode mechanical bull.
5. snack bread
Sometimes I get a little stressed and I need a good snack.

2. pink balloon: an essential for any party worth attending.
3. desserts carrier: i baked some fruit tarts to share with everyone!
4. whoopee cushion: um... *ahem* this is just.. a new foundation that comes a really funny looking compact..
5. fortune telling set: i'm offering free readings for everyone at the party!

 

[You got mail!]

Believe it or not, I’ve managed to put all these necessities inside my dreamy unicorn pochette. Here is what I brought to the party!

Spoiler: bag, items and proof

1. Frosted cookies - nothing like a sweet treat to enjoy. Perfect for the party and I’ll share.
2. Carton beverage - strawberry flavored. Gotta quench my thirst as well. Perfect to pair with the frosted cookies.
3. SLR Camera - Capture those precious memories that will be made from the party.
4. Star Clock - Good to keep track of time especially when you’re busy having fun. Could also use it to make the birthday wish.
5. Chainsaw - I’ll do an act and that act is juggling chainsaws. It’ll be a show you won’t forget.

 

[MrBox]

Spoiler: images

1) I'm going to bring some artist supplies! No matter where, I like to draw.
2) Gotta bring a First Aid Kit just in case!
3) My Nintendo Switch! Or at least some joycons-!
4) Cake! For the person who is hosting!
5) A jacket, just in case it's cold!

 

[himekirako]

oh would you look at what's inside my comically tiny-flower-print tote bag

1. moon: some cute and kind little yellow folks gifted this moon to me, gotta keep it safe with me​
2. birthday cake: how can one have a birthday party with no birthday cake?​
3. froggy chair: in case anyone needs a seat, obviously​
4. ACNH nintendo switch: for entertainment of course​
5. suspicious cauldron: what! can't people play with magic and suspicious liquids in peace?​

Bringing along some inflatable things to fit in with the party balloon aesthetic + it's easier to fit in my summery, butterfly backpack, and a couple other necessary party essentials.

1) Plastic Pool- All that partying under the summer sun will make me hot and sweaty, so nothing like a pool to cool off.
2) Beach Ball- Can never have too many around! Useable in the pool and out for optimal play.
3) Inflatable Sofa- When I need to take a break and lie down.
4) Cooler Box- Okay finally something non inflatable, and a little less fun aesthetically, but gotta bring along some cold drinks and ice cream to beat the heat.
5) Bubble Blower- You may say this is the most impractical item of them all, but come on! What birthday party is complete without bubbles?

 

[Hyoon]

on today's episode on what's in my bag (cherry blossom pochette):

1. bunny day balloons: a birthday staple of course
2. birthday cake: a "homemade" birthday cake that was bought from the store (they don't have to know that tho!)
3. cute music player: what's party without some good music
4. gift pile: for the birthday person obviously u can't come empty handed
5. tankless toilet: does anyone else feel weird using any other toilet other than their own? well now i can just bring my own portable toilet. for sure nothing will go wrong with that.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

What's more rugged than a black studded backpack?

1. Drink machine - Drinks are on me, guys! It'll cost ya, though...
2. Jukebox - Gotta play some classic tunes to liven up the party! Come on, feel the noise...
3. Frosted cookies - Cake is overrated, anyways.
4. Nintendo Switch - What better way to ruin friendships than with a casual game of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
5. Nook Inc. cushion - Perfectly comfortable and portable! Please sponsor me, Tom Nook.

 

[Roxxy]

1. Birthday cake- what’s a party without cake?
2. A cushion- to make floor comfy when are there aren’t enough chairs.
3. Music player- what’s a party without dancing?
4. Purple sweater for when the sun goes down and you want to keep partying
5. Hamster cage - Hammy the hamster wants to come too!

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Oh? What's in my knapsack you may ask..?

Of course, I need the following items in order to have a successful b-day party!

Dreamy Bear Toy - I get separation anxiety from my plushies when I'm away, so.. duh! I NEED to bring one along to join the festivities!
Birthday Candles - Just in case nobody brought any! I've had so many parties without candles, it's craaaazy!
Birthday Hat - Also a just-in-case circumstance! We can't leave our fellow party-goers without a snazzy birthday hat!
Decorative Bottles - Anyone wanna play spin the bottle with me? It'll be fun, c'moooon!
Mom's Homemade Cake - ... I have a gluten allergy. I needed to bring one my mom made for me.. gluten-free! Anyone wanna share? I promise it's really good! ;D​

Time to pack for the PARTY~!!

I love my lil' woven bag, simple and stylish.

Chocolate Heart: Need to bring a little treat for others to enjoy. The heart expresses how much I love TBT as well!

Sewing Project: Can be pretty useful if someone's get up needs mending or even my own. Don't want them to worry about something that can easily be fixed right at the party!

Camera: Yes, it's important to enjoy the memorable day, but having pictures to look back on is even better. Sometimes it can bring up even more memories.

Board Game: There's gonna be a lot of us at the party, and everyone should have a game to play together while waiting for other games to be free~

Switch Lite: We need even more games! Just careful going up against Isabelle, she has skills.

 

[Hat']

Here's my entry for this event! Rocking my trusty Dreamy unicorm pochette which fits anything and everything one might need!

1: Umbrella octopus - Slimy and friend-shaped, this lil guy as a must-have in a party to ensure everyone has an amazing time!
2: Froggy chair - Can anything be called a proper party, let alone a birthday one, without a Froggy chair ?!
3: Afternoon-tea set - Just in case a sweet craving arises... which will happen after partying for hours!
4: Mama bear - Yet another friend, this time huggable! This mama's here to supervise the party and provide care for everyone attending!
5: Festivale confetti machine - Dare I explain what this is for? Any birthday party NEEDS confettis!!! And what better way to provide them than using ye olde confetti machine, courtesy of Pavé themselves!

I shoved all my supplies into a chilled delivery bag because I was short a birthday cake for the party and my only plan was to bake it on-site </3

1. shopping bag - with some miscellaneous cake supplies (they had a sale on edible glitter and trick candles...)
2. dessert carrier - to store the cake that I will definitely make in time!!
3. glass jar - every cake needs an abundance of sugar! (I really hope this is filled with sugar and not salt)
4. cooking tools - to bake said cake with <3
5. carton beverage - we ran out of normal milk so I’m rocking with chocolate milk

 

[DaCoSim]

I’m bringing the TACOS!!!!

So I hope everybody got the email because I heard that the bring your own pool party was all the rage so at 3 o’clock in the morning, I just hit send all. I hope everybody gets it in time because I think this would be super fun.

First off, I would like to think Hermione Granger for giving me the undetectable extension charm on my spacey bag or else I would never be able to fit my taco truck into it. Since this is in fact the birthday of the year and it’s such a big one I thought it would be awesome if I just brought my food truck and cooked for all of you.

My list of items are:

My Taco Truck because who doesn’t love tacos!!!!

My Plastic Pool, since like said above, I heard that bring your own pool party was all the rage

My Outdoor Air Conditioner because the party is in summer and it’s really freaking hot

My Gift Pile of presents for all of the mods for all of their hard work

And lastly, my Glass Jar of salt so we can play count inside the bottle. Although I will not be keeping the jar, it is a present for @Oblivia

 

[-Apples-]

Time for my entry to the party. Featuring a Snowflake Pochette carrying these items.

My list of items:

• Gift Pile - I need to bring presents to whoever’s having a birthday (and possibly to everyone who participates in the birthday).
• Blue Balloon - one of the party items, and a decoration.
• Light Stick - another party item, which you can find in your goody bag.
• Mom’s Homemade Cake - you can’t have a birthday without cake.
• ACNH Nintendo Switch - in case if I’m bored or if everyone wants to play video games at the party.

 

[Mutti]

Spoiler: Name

 

[.: Meri :.]

I love this knit bag, it's cute, colorful, and I'm a big fan of nature designs! There's a lot of other bags I love too, but this one matched my party outfit the best.
As for what I'm bringing in it...

1. Gift Pile - Might've gone a wee bit overboard, but you can't show up to a birthday party without presents!
2. A Very Real, Actual Living Cat (Paper Tiger) - I'm one of those people who likes to sit in the corner with the resident animal at parties, but what if the birthday buddy doesn't have a pet for me to hang out with? Simple—I'll bring one!
3. Craft Supplies (Mom's Pen Stand) - It's good to be prepared! You never know when these might come in handy, whether we need extras for party activities, or in case of a gift-wrapping emergency!
4. Cards - For entertainment at the party! though I hope y'all know some card games because uhh. I sure don't
5. Pickled Veggies - There's bound to be sweet snacks at the party, and if I eat too much sugar, I know I'll want something salty right after. I'm happy to share!​

 

[BetsySundrop]

I'm bringing the party! In my dreamy backpack, of course, which is a lot bigger on the inside.

Birthday sign - A must-have for every birthday party, the bigger the better!
Birthday candles - Can never have too many candles. Well...
Mom's plush - -The best present - I'll wrap this before I get to the party.
Birthday cake - - You can never have too much cake.
Confetti machine - Of course we're bringing confetti! The more the better. (After all, we're in charge of bringing the party, not the clean up, heh heh).

 

[Suguri]

Hey, hey! I brought some funky stuff for the party, and it's all right here in my spacey backpack!!

Oh, you wanna know what's in there? I'm glad you asked! Here they are! I will describe each item from right to left...

Apple pie! For those who don't want too much sugar in their bodies (for health reasons, which I understand), my freshly homemade apple pie should help you satiate your tempting cravings.

Cotton-candy stall! If you're not too concerned about your sugar intake, then enjoy some cotton candy on me! What's a party without some fairy floss?

Nintendo Switch! Well, if I didn't bring my Switch with me, I'd be bored. And I think you can watch movies on there with YouTube, so there's that!

Popcorn snack set! Speaking of movies, this popcorn set ought to come in handy! It'd be useful too in case there's drama...

And finally... Squeakoid! I know people are gonna bring some music players, so I figured I'd pack my colorful little friend so it could celebrate with us!
