She likes tea parties now, and playing with her kitchen, so hopefully she'll be a fan 11 months from now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001821 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 22:51:29 +0000 808love 2001821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For age 2 we went rainbow but a more subtle theme. For 3 LO had to be reminded she liked polar bears once or twice. :) we went all out with it though. </p> <p> I would love to go to a Peppa Pig party. I was so obsessed with it when LO was younger that I considered flying us all to England to visit Peppa Pig world!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001763 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:28:41 +0000 MamaCate 2001763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We planned a party with minimal themes and told LO she could pick the kind of party, as in what was on plates, cups, napkins, piñata, when it got closer. We talked about frozen, hello kitty, Minnie Mouse etc. she ended up fixating on frozen (which she never saw but class mates are obsessed with) and we ordered everything the week prior from Amazon. The party was at the park and the invites were just from shutterfly saying come play with us at the park and eat pizza and cupcakes so we didn't really need to commit to a theme before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001749 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:16:20 +0000 rachiecakes 2001749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a Lego party because we went to Legoland. Yup, he got a ton of Legos! But that was great because he just started to get into them and didn't have many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001669 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 20:14:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2001669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: we didn't have a party for her second but I still baked her a Daniel tiger cake. She was obsessed and loooved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001635 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:47:10 +0000 HabesBabe 2001635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cait: C is obsessed with Peppa Pig nowadays! Her 3rd birthday isn't until July (and we don't have a party-- just a dinner and cake with family), but I'm hoping she still likes it then so I could get Peppa plates and a cake with Peppa candles or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001617 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:29:27 +0000 cait 2001617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a Peppa Pig theme for DD's 3rd a couple months in advance. I just kept asking if she was excited to see her Peppa cake and kept the decorations a surprise and she stayed interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001611 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:27:53 +0000 BandDmommy 2001611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We are doing Mickey Mouse.

Balloons! I've been waiting to have a balloon party and 3 seems to be a good age for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001567 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:32:03 +0000 BabyBruins 2001567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His party is THIS Friday. I was all set on a monster theme - he loves Monsters Inc, but I was going to do a general monster theme and I'm just not going to anymore. We are going to the park and doing pizza, sandwiches, chips, apples and let the park do the entertaining.<br /> I am so burnt out from Christmas and we are getting RSVPs in slow, so I'm just over it. All he cares about is blowing out candles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2001319 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:10:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2001319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: there is a curious George exhibit at the local science museum! I'm thinking of taking her on her birthday if she's still into him! Or soon before she goes into I don't like George phase. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000840 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:20:30 +0000 loveisstrange 2000840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yeah, I think we've gone slightly more towards Mickey now... but Im not throwing a Mickey party. Ugh. I hate that stupid show. lol</p> <p>I saw this adorable George party, so I think this is our inspiration. I was also considering just doing a "book" theme in general. </p> [attach=1353/14/nhco0r.600x600.curious-george-party-girl.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000811 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:50:58 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2000811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I hope so :P I'm also going to make a gentle list of suggestions for books we need to expand our library. I'd be happy for any other books given, of course, but some I don't have a copy of and I wish I had. And he's gotten a bit too big for most of his board books. He needs something more complex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000809 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:49:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2000809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: that is a great idea! Books as gifts would be a no brainer ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000807 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:48:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2000807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: M looved Curious George for the looooongest time!! Now it's no longer her favorite. I don't go super themey but I would like it to be something she currently loves. Impossible with a toddler?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000799 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:45:21 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2000799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm -right- in the middle of this. And I have a month. At first I was going to do a Thomas themed party (a gimme since he loves trains so very very much and Percy is his main squeeze). Then I thought of doing a construction theme. Very cool, easier and less character themed. Then it morphed into a transportation theme - only for Mr. Bear to point something out to me.</p> <p>With Christmas just this past week, our son received an over abundance of cars, trains, car carriers, etc. And not a lot else. Everyone zoned in on what he loved but didn't get him things that he kinda needs at this age. More books and more puzzles, things that challenge and grow. DS will often initiate someone into our home by bringing them 10-20 books and sitting on their lap as they read to him. So instead of 'advertising' what we don't need more of - trains, cars, airplanes, etc - why not use the party's theme for things we'd like more of? Books, puzzles, games and the likes?</p> <p>So now I'm trying to pull together a story book/ alphabet themed birthday party that I think DS will really enjoy. I'll incorporate books he loves, books I remember loving as a kid, and use things we already have around the house as decorations . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000775 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:32:17 +0000 loveisstrange 2000775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going with the main thing she's liked all year, Curious George. It's going to be a small family party anyway, so I'm not too worried about it being really themey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000627 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 07:12:53 +0000 Andrea 2000627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wasn't super firm on her party theme at 3 years old so I just picked something that she liked and would not likely dislike by the time party day arrived (Mickey and friends). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000267 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:11:45 +0000 Kimo 2000267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a specific theme for my DS's 3rd birthday. It was just a pizza party at a cool park near our house with generic birthday decorations. It ended up being a really fun (and non stressful) party, and DS didn't care at all there wasn't a set theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000257 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:05:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2000257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: haha just exploring my options. :)<br /> No plans definitely till the end of January. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000254 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:02:23 +0000 mediagirl 2000254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: stop it!

He had said various themes before but that was close enough that he didn't change his mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000240 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:46:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2000240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sons loves have stayed constant for quite awhile: garbage trucks, fire trucks, and police cars. His third birthday is in two months, but I haven't thought yet how we'll do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000238 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:45:09 +0000 chopsuey 2000238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a party (just dinner with family). I decided on princesses a few months before. She loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000236 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:44:20 +0000 autumnlove 2000236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited til November and she still loves the theme and her party is next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3rd-birthday-party-theme#post-2000232 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:34:49 +0000 regberadaisy 2000232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As all those with older toddlers know they have become very firm on what they love and don't love. But it also changes SO fast! How are you supposed to decide on a birthday theme, even a loose one, when tomorrow they can hate that very thing?! </p> <p>How did you choose your 3yr Olds party theme? Did they still love it by party day? </p>
