LO's happy place at the time. There was about 10 to 15 kids and their parent to chaperone. All of the kids were 1-3 yrs old. And a four year old sibling.<br /> On the actual day of her bday, she went to her first day of preschool, a guava cupcake, her first kite and flew it at the park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887413 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:54:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 887413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. i don't think we even did a cake. maybe we did a cupcake? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887377 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:23:01 +0000 BoogieBea 887377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have one for our son. He actually didn't get a real party until his 3rd birthday. My daughter turning 2 very soon as well. We will most likely not have a party. I will make her a cake though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887334 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:32:19 +0000 DisneyBee 887334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't planning to have one, but everyone asked what we were doing for DS's 2nd birthday. So last minute, we reserved a clubhouse and ordered sandwiches and pizza from Costco. Definitely smaller than his first birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887222 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:27:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 887222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: nope! we just went out to brunch with the immediate family, and gave her a cupcake to blow out when we got home. i'm not throwing any more bday parties until they're old enough to ask for it or have ppl they want to invite. i will do the standard dohl for both kids though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887183 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:54:04 +0000 heffalump 887183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will. We will have family and close friends. I had a birthday party every year and lo will too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887172 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:49:35 +0000 Sweet T 887172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we'll be doing one. He didn't get a first birthday party either, poor kid! We had just moved across the country so we didn't have anyone to invite. We got him a smash cake and spent the day with another family. We'll probably buy a small cake or cupcakes for his 2nd birthday and that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887153 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:37:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 887153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we'll do a small family thing! Just my parents and siblings and probably invite my grand parents as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887149 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:34:01 +0000 chopsuey 887149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Omg we had around 30 ppl show.<br /> I spent way more than I planned, but she loved it.<br /> Sang happy birthday for months after. One of her favorite things to play with is her wood happy birthday cake :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887145 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:28:33 +0000 MsMamaBear 887145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I didn't plan to, but now she recognizes what a birthday party is and when she sees one, she lights up with "Birthday!" My friends son's birthday is 7 days after hers, so I had to give her one before she goes to his and is sad. It'll just be about 8 kids at a yogurt bar with food and their parents. Nothing big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887138 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:23:21 +0000 Honeybee 887138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a lowkey birthday party for DD the same weekend as DS's baptism. We only invited family who were in town for the baptism, and we just had a bbq at a nearby park. It was very simple; I'm not into big parties, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-887136 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 19:22:20 +0000 T-Mom 887136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had a family dinner and Elmo cake, and DS will have the same. There are some kids from day care that are having bounce house parties for their 2nd bday though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886982 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:53:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 886982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are skipping. We will do a family dinner and have a cake but not a party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886973 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:48:01 +0000 IcebergMom 886973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am deciding not to have one. LOs birthday is July 15 and she also turns 2. </p> <p>In my town if you don't invite all babies/toddlers you are in big trouble!!! Haha and I don't want a 30 kid party. :) ill wait a few more years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886969 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:44:46 +0000 brownie 886969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We did a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party. We had about 7 friends (3 more than the usual group), a bounce house, water table, pinata, food, and play. It was really really relaxed and fun. The kids ran around inside and out and just did whatever they wanted as long as they wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886966 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:42:28 +0000 regberadaisy 886966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for her second probably just a small "party" at home with grandparents? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886957 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:35:16 +0000 mrsmate 886957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD got a big 1st bday party but just some pizza at home wih grandparents and cousins for her 2nd. She didn't even know it was her birthday! She does have more of an idea of birthdays now so we will do something for her 3rd, but I have no regrets about not going all out for her 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886947 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 886947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He got a slice of cake and park time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lo-have-a-2nd-birthday-party#post-886944 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:29:43 +0000 Rubies 886944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, LO is turning 2 (ack!) in about 6 weeks. I had no intentions of throwing her a birthday party because we did a big one for her first and I figured no one really wants to come to toddler's birthday party anyway. OMG, my mother thinks I've lost my mind! I didn't think it was a big deal...Is it?</p> <p>Did your toddler get a 2nd birthday party? Who did you invite? </p>
