Hosting a 2nd birthday party is an exciting time for any parent! There are many terrific 2nd birthday party ideas that you can use to host the event. From choosing the theme to figuring out invitation wording, there are a lot of details to think about. Despite their reputation, two year olds aren't always terrible and tantrums are usually saved for parents, so a party for this age group can be great fun. Your toddler won’t have any expectations, so don't waste time and money on too extravagant an affair. Opting for a theme depends on your child's likes or dislikes. A jungle theme is always a winner at this age. Aim for animal musical rhymes, animal-shaped foods and animal costumes. There are many excellent 2nd birthday party themes that you can incorporate into the event. If your son or daughter has a favorite television show, book, movie, or toy, this would be a perfect theme for their party. You may find that party supply companies have helpful suggestions for themed party packs, decorations and more.

When planning a 2nd birthday party, it is important to keep in mind your little one’s interests and personality. Two year old are often curious with their environment and have a growing vocabulary and language skills. If your two-year-old is fairly social, this will be a great opportunity for you to throw a larger party for them with friends and family members. But if your son or daughter is a little shy, you may want to throw a smaller party. There are many unique ideas for a 2nd birthday invitation. If your party has a theme to it, you can incorporate the theme into your invitation. The 2nd birthday invitation wording is another important aspect to keep in mind. A cute idea is to create a rhyming phrase to put on the invitation. It could be something simple like: “We’re inviting you to join us so that we all can say, Happy birthday Jack, it’s your special day!” Or if your party is themed, you could write something more detailed like: “We’re having a party because Sam is turning two. We’re inviting Elmo, Big Bird, and Count Dracula too!" Most children of this age love dressing up, so keep a box of dressing up clothes handy. Balloons are great fun, but the noise of them bursting may scare more timid tots. Remove burst ones quickly, for safety's sake. Simple but structured games with clear instructions, like Ring o' Roses, Simon Says and dancing to music are great fun.
