Stress Less, Celebrate More, with Carnation Creative!
Host stunning, Instagram-worthy celebrations without the headache.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You have 5 Pinterest boards filled with party ideas, but no idea which idea you should go with or where to start.
You’re dreaming of a party you can post on Instagram, but think the only way to achieve it is by spending an enormous amount of money that you don’t have.
You can’t afford to pay a party planner thousands of dollars to do everything for you. Same girl!
You don’t want party planning to turn into your 2nd job, or let’s be real your 3rd or 4th
You want to have a nice birthday, but don’t know what to do for it and everyone keeps asking what you’re going to do. Grrr.
You want to host a party, but there are too many people living in your house, or you’re embarrassed about your space, or think it’s too small to host anything.
You’re overwhelmed planning your child’s birthday party, or sister’s bridal shower while juggling your actual job, grocery shopping, cooking meals, doing laundry, cleaning, taking college courses, and literally everything else under the sun.
You feel like you’re failing spectacularly at “keeping up with the Jones,” and just want to plan a cute party that your friends or family will think is really really cool.
You want to actually enjoy your party and not being run around like crazy in “host mode” the whole time helping everyone else have fun, except yourself.
You’re sick of trying to do it all by yourself.

How Does Carnation Creative Work?
Hi there, I’m Selena! The Virgo behind Carnation Creative.
I’ve always been that friend who loves planning special things whether that meant a cozy Galentine’s night, a fun disco garden birthday party, a personalized gift that is so you, or taking you to the cutest spots in town.
I never really got to host events growing up. There were always too many people in the house and not enough space. As I got a little older, I figured out how to plan events even when I couldn’t host them at my own home. Shoutout to Vrbo, Airbnb, loved ones who let you use their space, and all the cool places out there making celebrations special from restaurants, to craft studios, to zipline courses!
I’ve been where you are. Wanting to host something special, but feeling overwhelmed by all the details. So now, I’m sharing the unique things I’ve learned that actually work.
Carnation Creative is for women who want to plan the perfect party for themselves, their friends, or their family, but don’t have all day every day to gather ideas, look for supplies, keep track of everything, and make all the things happen while balancing literally everything else going on in their lives.
I see you. You want the Insta-worthy photos and the compliments from guests who say, “Wow, you thought of everything!” without losing your mind in the process. I’m here to help make that happen.
With a BBA in Management and over 4 years of copywriting experience, I’ve learned how to blend strategy, creativity, and emotion, and I pour these skills into every party plan I create. In just one year, I’ve planned 4 unforgettable parties, plus countless trips and day adventures that brought people together in memorable ways!
Now, I share my planning secrets through digital party guides that make hosting simple, stylish, and fun again.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
