WOMAN THROWS HUSBAND SURPRISE PARTY AT COSTCO
Written by Jesse Skelley on January 26, 2026
Nothing says “turning 30” quite like a Costco pizza party — and one Memphis couple just proved it. Ally Putnam surprised her husband Max with an unforgettable birthday dinner at their favorite spot: the Costco food court. What started as a routine Costco run with their 21-month-old son August turned into a viral moment, racking up more than 70,000 likes on TikTok.
Ally explained that Costco had special meaning for the couple, who spent many budget-friendly date nights there while Max was in medical school. Now in his first year of residency, Max expected a normal dinner out — not a surprise party. One by one, they “randomly” ran into his friends, all fellow residents, until the truth became impossible to ignore.
Soon, soda cups were clinking and pizza slices were flying as everyone toasted to Max’s milestone birthday. The wholesome, low-key celebration struck a chord online, proving that sometimes the best parties come with $1.99 slices and a lot of heart.
