Close friends and Fam. I like to include everyone too. Doing it at a park and ordering food made it pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954614 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 12:03:50 +0000 autumnlove 1954614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a good number at LO 2's 2nd because we skipped a party for her first. </p> <p>We had a big party for LO 2 for her first so we will do a low key party for her second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954609 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 11:59:48 +0000 cascademom 1954609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've kept his first/second birthdays to family and close friends. We've done this because we've held them at my parents' house. This year, we had a few friends with kids come to my parents' house. It was really nice. It was a kid centric party.</p> <p>For his recent baptism, we had a lot of local friends and some family because we hosted it in our home. Most of our friends live in and near the neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954596 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 11:51:20 +0000 yerpie110 1954596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a ridiculous first birthday (cultural tradition) so it's family only for her second. We'll add the friends back in at 3 when I think she will care more :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954513 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 11:18:16 +0000 mrsjyw 1954513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a big first birthday party. So this year (today he's 2!) we are just doing a small family party with grandparents :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954199 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:30:18 +0000 chanada 1954199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have family here so a few close friends and their little ones (two babies and another toddler!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954184 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:24:38 +0000 Jess1483 1954184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the 1st birthday, I cast the net pretty wide. For the 2nd birthday (on Sunday), I did LO's friends, my parents (it is at their house), and my grandma. I'm looking forward to a smaller party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954074 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 07:52:31 +0000 hilsy85 1954074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a first birthday party so his 2nd was really big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954058 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 07:22:21 +0000 Mamaof2 1954058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did family and close friends only </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954041 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 07:06:10 +0000 Andrea 1954041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just inviting the friends in her playgroup plus my niece and nephew. It's a few days before Xmas and there's already enough to do around the holidays!</p> <p>It seems like lots of people skip the 2nd bday party altogether anyway, but I think it will be nice to have a low key gathering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1954020 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 05:26:35 +0000 mrbee 1954020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: We just kept it to our immediate family! Although actually, maybe we co-celebrated Olive's birthday with our neighbors whose son was born one day after Olive! Very low key and chill, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-invite-everyone-to-a-2nd-birthday-or-just-los-friends#post-1953955 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 00:21:52 +0000 birdofafeather 1953955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm making a list of people to invite to DD's 2nd birthday because i need to figure out where/when/who soon. i have a huge list because i like to include everyone, but should i just whittle it down to the people with kids LO plays with? we had a big party for year 1 and thinking that we should probably tone it down for year 2. but i also like to include everyone! </p>
