How a Nurse Became a Party Pro

Hi, I’m Helene — full-time nurse, part-time party fairy, and the founder of Confetti & Coast. 💖

So, how did a healthcare professional end up planning bachelorette weekends in Charleston? Like most good stories, it started with a little chaos, a lot of love, and a group chat full of “where are we staying?” messages.

✨ The Origin Story

I’ve always been the planner in my friend group. Birthdays, holidays, beach trips — I loved making everything feel fun, thoughtful, and just a little extra. And after living in Charleston (hello, dream city!), and I found myself helping more and more friends plan their trips, especially bachelorette weekends.

One day, someone said, “Wait… why don’t you do this for real?”

So I did.

🎀 From Night Shifts to Party Kits

Being a nurse has taught me to think ahead, stay calm under pressure, and take care of people — which turns out, are the exact same skills you need when managing a party crew rolling into Charleston on 3 hours of sleep and 4 iced coffees.

Confetti & Coast started as an idea to make party planning easier for the “friend in charge,” and it’s grown into a full-blown business with curated checklists, custom welcome bags, hangover kits, and all the little touches that make a weekend extra special.

🎉 Why I Do It

I believe the best memories come from intentional, joy-filled moments. Whether it’s a sunset toast, a themed photo op, or a packed cooler on boat day — these are the things people remember.

And honestly? I just really love a good party 💁‍♀️
