    Where did the time go? Your baby is turning TWO, and this is such a fun age to combine their interests with your decorating prowess for a 'two-ly' spectacular birthday party. We have put together a list of the best 2nd birthday party ideas for boys and girls, with a bit of photo inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. Have fun and do not forget to take a lot of pictures, because this stage of toddlerhood is over way 'two' soon. 

    Off 2 The Races 2nd Birthday Theme

    A derby theme birthday is such a classic and cool idea for your toddler. Horse and racing elements—including sweet prize ribbons, picket fences, and so on—are all very welcome here. This 2nd birthday theme is traditionally green and white but as shown, any colour palette can be beautiful... We are loving the preppy blues and easy neutrals.

    Oh Two-dles Minnie Mouse 2nd Birthday Theme

    This party uses the clubhouse catchphrase ('Oh, toodles!') as a jumping off point for a Minnie-Mouse-themed affair. Consider going all-out with balloons in bright and pale pink; and of course, add lots of bows to the space because that is Miss Mouse’s most famous trademark.

    Love You Two the Moon 2nd Birthday Theme

    Photo & to Purchase: Soiree Love

    Reach for the stars with this gender-neutral 2nd birthday party theme. Sandwiches cut out with moon shaped cookie cutters, even a rocket ship in the corner would be in the right universe. And moon and star motifs displayed among your balloons and paper goods will be an out-of-this-world touch. This is another theme that works with many colour ways—but be sure to bring in metallics for some space-age sheen, no matter which direction your planning takes.

    Two is the beginning of a true appreciation for the magic of Disney. Give your little princess or prince a dazzling day of fun and glamour with a Cinderella-themed birthday party that is sure to impress all their fancy friends, from glass-slipper shaped cookies to a dress-up station and extra-special details and displays inspired by the movie, like in the example shown here.

    Two by Two 2nd Birthday Idea

    A Noah’s Ark theme is a super-sweet 2nd birthday party idea for a boy or a girl, or in this case, one of each... twins! Two turning two is even more of a reason to explore this adaptable and child-friendly 2-year-old birthday party theme. This mum went with arks, rainbows, and lots of animal pairs for a fete flooded with charm. 

    Tea for Two 2nd Birthday Theme

    Quickly becoming a modern classic, this adorable 2nd birthday idea will charm your 2-year-old and their friends. We love that the food options built into a tea party are minimal and easy. You can go over-the-top with this theme or execute it simply. Keep an eye on little details like table linens and pretty paper goods, and make sure to teach the pint-sized guests all about pinky-lifting and sandwich-nibbling at their first fancy soirée. 

    Have Your Cake and Eat It Two 2nd Birthday Theme

    Nothing speaks to a toddler quite like sweets, so why not create an entire party around… cake! A cake-themed 2nd birthday party gives you lots of flexibility. You will have an absolute blast selecting pretty, inviting details to deck out the space in style for your little sweets-eater. When cake is at the center of the celebration, the details really just need to look like a party. 

    Two Infinity and Beyond 2nd Birthday Idea

    Photo: Catch My Party

    Another character-forward 2nd birthday idea that satisfies your little one’s love of movies and your propensity toward party planning! Toy Story is that quintessential childhood movie that many of us grew up on and are now enjoying with our little ones. Gather goods on Etsy or Amazon, make your own, or do a mix of all three. Primary colours and familiar faces are all you need to take this cute Disney party idea two the stratosphere.
