Single dad goes viral for throwing stunning Barbie-themed pool party for daughter

A single dad of four who threw a lavish Barbie-themed birthday party that takes Barbiecore to a whole new level has gone viral on TikTok.

Dylan, who posts videos under the username everythingdad, shared highlights of the preparations for the pink celebration and left people in awe.

“Amiyah had a blast,” Dylan captioned one video, which shows the family carrying out DIY tasks such as loading the washing machine with pink and blue striped towels, hanging pink decorations, preparing Barbie drinks filled with cotton candy and more.

The preparations continue in a second video with Dylan revealing he did the planning and styling himself in the caption.

Then the video panned to the actual party, and it looked amazing - not only did viewers get several pictures of the final result but also an adorable clip of the birthday girl beside her cake.

The attendees were also lucky as they were treated to the best pink-coloured desserts and delicious-looking Barbie cake, not to mention the refreshing drinks by the pool.

At the time of writing, both videos have been streamed more than 16.5m times and have received over 2m likes.

His dedication and commitment to his daughter’s day have attracted positive comments from viewers.

One user commented: “A day she’ll never forget,” and many others seemed to agree as the comment received 14.6K likes.

While other users seemed to follow suit with comments such as “Setting the bar so high!”, “Be my dad”, and “You’re literally the best dad, Dylan”.

It isn’t the first time Dylan has gone viral for his DIY projects for his daughters. The dad, based in the US, regularly posts videos of him and his children carrying out tasks around the house and how they celebrate special days.

Dylan first posted on the account earlier this year and has since collected 1.4m followers.
