Since we'll be having cake, I guess the dining room? But there's a nice big open doorway between living room and dining room so maybe balloons through out? Especially since there's 6 chairs in the dining room and 7 places to sit in the living room and we'll be having a lot of adults...</p> <p>@looch: Unfortunately we haven't really made many friends his age since moving. A few girls and a boy at story hour but the boy hasn't been back in a while and I'm afraid of offering an invitation to the girls since I know them only through story hour. I've spoken with their moms and we hope to do a play date soon but I don't want to pressure them to show up/have a present/etc since we're just acqaintances...</p> <p>So mainly it'll be adults, family memberss, with the exception of my 5 year old cousin. A 2 year old, a nearly 1 year old, and a 5 year old :sad: Not much fun. Now I'm depressed on his behalf and he probably won't even notice...</p> <p>@locavore_mama: I totally forgot about that post, thank you! Have you seen the PBS Parents birthday party printable stuff for Daniel Tiger? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cue-the-freak-out#post-1322584 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:43:53 +0000 regberadaisy 1322584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of doing Daniel Tiger too! I think @yin: threw a Daniel tiger party!</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-2nd-birthday-theme#post-752091" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-2nd-birthday-theme#post-752091</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cue-the-freak-out#post-1322580 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:42:41 +0000 looch 1322580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look into the activities more than the decor depending on the age of your guests. If you can find one or two daniel tiger activities, it might be a good jumping off point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cue-the-freak-out#post-1322468 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:05:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1322468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pick either two colors or a color and a pattern to focus on. </p> <p>I would just stay simple with either balloons or streamers and put those up around the house. Let the main area be the spot light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cue-the-freak-out#post-1322282 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:56:51 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1322282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously. I'm at a loss. I have a month to pull together a birthday party for my two year old son. That's plenty of time so I should be able to figure this all out... right?</p> <p>We'll be having the party at our house. It'll mostly be friends and family, low key. I'll probably bake cupcakes and we'll order some food from Publix or something. A party platter. </p> <p>I think what troubles me is getting the theme across. I know you can start by doing the invitations in the theme - we're going to be doing Daniel Tiger and I'll probably purchase them from Etsy, print through Vistaprint. But I have the living room, dining room, and probably the birthday boy's room to decorate.</p> <p>(Why his bedroom? Because he runs back and forth all the time so he'll probably end up back there with some guests at some point)</p> <p>I can turn the sideboard into the buffet of sorts and decorate above and around it. I can decorate the mantel (which is the focus of the living room) with pictures and Daniel Tiger decorations. I can do paper chains or print/make pennants to hang. </p> <p>But what about our table (which seats six)? And what colors should I focus on? I know red will probably be the main thing. But should I play with patterns?</p> <p>I guess I'm asking for ideas. The Daniel Tiger stuff is available for printing off the PBS Parents website so I can get some of the 'theme' decorations for little to nothing. I just want to make it look colorful and good and I'm at a loss since I never do birthday parties.</p> <p>HEEEEELP! </p>
