We know moms love Target. But 3-year-old Charlie Kern loves the big red bullseye so much, she asked her mom Emily for a Target birthday party.
"I started asking Charlie in January what type of party she wanted and the first thing out of her mouth was Target," Kern told BabyCenter. "I tried to get her to want something else like Trolls and such but she wasn?t having it!"
And so, the Pennsylvania-based mom gave Charlie what she wanted, and planned an epic Target-themed party.

Obviously, Charlie dressed in red for her big day, as did her parents.

Kern took the Target theme all the way! Charlie's party was indeed epic, complete with a Targetesque cafe.

The party also featured a homemade cake adorned with bullseye logos, and of course, red-and-white everything.
"People thought it was hilarious that she wanted that kind of party, and knew we were gonna do it, but when they showed up and saw how it all played out, they loved it!" Kern told us about guests' reactions to the Target birthday party. She added, "Charlie herself was so excited. She woke up from nap to a decorated house and just walked around so excited yelling 'Yay Target! It?s my party, it?s my Target!'"

One especially creative touch was Kern's dollar section, in which she filled bins with items like bubbles and candy for Charlie's friends to fill their goody bags, donated by her local Target!
