 What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
Trying to decide what to do for my DD's 2nd birthday.  She's a winter baby or I'd just do a BBQ.  We don't really have the room for something at the house and I think 2 year olds are too young for a gym type place.   Any ideas?  Suggestions?

  Same here. John's birthday is the 19th and his baby sister will be arriving 2 weeks before. So I will do a theme but just have my parents and God-parents over. Not having a big party like his 1st was.

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
I didn't do anything   
  We had a cake for her at my nephew's birthday party since their birthdays are 2 days apart...but I didn't invite anyone that wasn't already coming to his party.  She's 2...she doesn't know the difference

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
we just moved in on 8/22, Lily's bday is 11/10. I have been debating this party for a few days now. she only has 5 little friends right now. I'm thinking I'll have something small at the house - pizza & cake, mickey mouse decorations, and favors.  We'll see...  Maybe we'll invite our neighbors too.  I want to decide by 10/9 so I can do some simple invites. I feel i HAVE to do something since we only took her to the original Morton's Steakhouse for her first bday.    Mommy & Daddy loved it!   
  ETA: if I had more kids to invite, I'd do My Gym. I've heard great things about their parties.

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
We did it at Mid Island gymnastics, was awesome!
  I think 2 is the perfect age for a gym party or any other type of place...Once upon a treetop, Pump It up, etc...

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
I had a pool party - but that doesn't really help you. 
  Next year, I'm having a Hoedown for her birthday. I'm going to have a petting zoo come to the house.

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
Since we don't know many people in our area yet, we had mostly just family over for Charlie's 2nd Birthday last weekend. I just did salads, and lasagna and ordered a couple of 3 foot heros.  We had a Cars theme but didn't go overboard.

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
I had Andrew's 2nd birthday party at home (February) and had a Barney theme and the character come -- 'he' did face painting, tattoos, etc.  
  My personal opinion is to keep it simple for the first few years.  For Andrew's 3rd birthday I had it out at an ice cream shop and I can just see them getting bigger and more out of hand as the years progress! 
  His pre-K class has 18 kids and I am already stressing about his next party.  So my advice is to keep it small and low-key while you can!

 Re: What did you do for your 2 year old birthday party? 
I'm having Luca's party next weekend with a pirate theme. I will have a jump house (borrowed from a friend), do a treasure hunt (tattoos, stickers, eye patches, candy, stuffed pirates, etc...), and a message in a bottle- sand art project. It will be for just kids for 3 hours and I'll serve pizza and cake. We're keeping it very simple.
