I am looking forward to planning my LO 2's second bday in April. I haven't decided on much but I know I want a chocolate cake from Costco. 
Are you planning any parties right now? Any theme or colors?

E's second bday is in april, too, but i haven't done any formal planning yet. Just pinning some fun recipes and cute stuff when I randomly come across it.
Since i'll be about 37 weeks pregnant, I'm going to do a cookies and milk theme at a playground. Make some cookie batches, make a cookies and cream cake or buy a cookie cake, buy those little milks from Sam's Club...i'm going to keep it easy but make sure everything is delicious
-
@blackbird: that sounds really cute!
DD1's third birthday is at the end of April too. I'm starting to think of ideas. But whether or not we have a party depends on if I have a job or not. Either way we'll definitely do something. I'm thinking either a school bus or farm theme! She loves both!
-
Started thinking about C's 3rd birthday, which is the first week of April. Still deciding on a theme. DH wants to do Minnie Mouse because Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is her favorite thing right now. I, personally, don't want to. Dont really know why Im so adverse to it, I just am. Im thinking doing an April Showers/rainbow thing.
I already have tons of inspiration saved for the rainbow thing because it was our original theme for her 1st. Plus, I think it would be cheap to do.
-
I've started pinning things for my twins' first birthday.
I'm trying to stick with something simple so I don't go crazy and get overwhelmed. Trying to decide between a You Are My Sunshine or April Showers Bring May Flowers theme.
-
Kind of planning DD1's 2nd bday for this Saturday. I'm a week post partum so it's going to be an order pizza, pick up some balloons, and call it a day party. Thankfully she's two and has low expectations.
-
@blackbird: We went to a 1st bday party with theme for his nephew. It was really cute.
I am starting to plan her 2nd bday. I might do Minnie since she is obsessed. But since we are just having family again, still 40 people, I might just make a couple banners and call it a day.
-
E's birthday is in March and I have nothing planned yet, I need to get on it!
-
T's first birthday and party is Feb 21st. I just started buying stuff today. I'm going a little overboard...
-
I'm planning lo's 2nd birthday! I will have a newborn and it's a mostly adults party with friends and family, so it dosent require much planning....but since it's the last party for a while that he won't have to share with his sister we are doing a construction/trucks theme.
-
It's totally rational that I can make this cake at 3 weeks pp, right??
If not, anybody know what it costs to have something like that made at a grocery store? Or sams maybe?
-
@Mrs. Lion: it looks totally doable. Just buy a choco cake and sprinkle crumbs on top!
-
@autumnlove: ooh that would totally work and be much easier!!
-
@Mrs. Lion: yeah i was gonna say, that looks SO EASY. Just crunch up oreos
-
I'm planning LO's first birthday party at the end of April. It will be just family and nothing too crazy, but I want to make a cake and cupcakes and do a light lunch. The theme is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star because he loves that song. I have lots of pinned ideas so far and bought some star shaped candles!
-
@Mrs. Lion: I love that cake! Yes, like PPs mentioned see if you can get a cake frosted in choc then add the cookie crumbs and trucks yourself. It will most likely work out cheaper that way.
-
DDs first birthday in March I was just pinning stuff for it last night! I definitely want to go simple since she's one and won't remember it, but still something fun!
-
I'm starting to plan DH's 30th birthday in May and LO2's first birthday in June
-
Just my husband's 40th in June. We might have a housewarming party before then but I doubt it.
-
No parties. My birthday is in February which we really don't do much for.
-
@Mrs. Lion: Love the cake and should be easy enough! My husband is an engineer for Cat so I really want to do a construction themed party for my LOs when they are a little older!
-
Yes! Now that the holidays are over, I have kicked into high gear to plan my DD's first birthday! We put a deposit down on a room at our nearby rec center last friday. And I'm hoping to DIY some garlands and other decor this week. We are doing a sweetheart theme since we are having the party a week before V-day. I'm super excited. I'll probably start a thread for decorating ideas since the room we are having it in is a giant dance room that I need to fill up!
-
@twodoghouse: there are some really fun ideas on pinterest! I may do it again when he is 4 and has a birthday party with mostly kids
I doubt our adult friends will enjoy all the super fun building and truck activities! 
-
@Mrs. Lion: Um, adult building activities sounds amazing.
-
Yes and I am overwhelmed! I have DDs irst bday in February, then two bridal showers and two bechelorette parties! I am not a party planning type of person. I do not really enjoy it. But want to make them all awesome anyways!
-
Husbands birthday this weekend!! Just booked 2 lanes for bowling at this fun bar/bowl place!
-
@hellobeeboston: omg that sounds super fun! I might steal that for DH birthday in October. Haha best part is LO can have fun too.
-
Undecided yet about whether we will do a second bday party. But if I do I love the cake idea @Mrs. Lion: !
-
Yes! Sadie's 2nd birthday party is at the end of the month. It's Toy Story themed (her favorite), and I'm so excited.
-
@Mrs. Lion: love that cake! I agree with the others, buy a chocolate cake and crunch up some Oreos. Easy!
-
Yep. 2 months til Zumas party!!
-
@anonysquire: royalty!
-
I'm planning Bs 3rd birthday party. I've also started pinning ideas for Ds bday. I have already reserved the date for both parties with the lady that makes our cakes. She's amazing!!
-
Throwing R's 1st birthday/ brunch in 2 weeks and then party planning starts for M's 3rd birthday in 2 months!
-
@blackbird: haha I think you just gave me a new bedrest project...turn all the 4 year old games into adult games
we may have to add money to the budget for beer though. I think I saw a backyard giant Jenga game somewhere....
-
@Mrs. Lion: a friend mine did that at chrisymas!!! And it looked epic!
-
@Mrs. Lion: That cake is awesome! I'm totally gonna use that for my DS's 3rd bday in August.
I SHOULD be planning DS's first birthday party in late March but haven't thought of a thing yet
-
@Mrs. Lion: @blackbird: We used to (pre-kids) do a huge Price is Right party every year with drinking game versions of all the games. Half our garage is still taken up with a ten feet tall Drinko board!
-
@autumnlove: I'm so excited!!!
-
DD2's first birthday is at the beginning of Feb and I haven't done any planning other than knowing I want to do a rainbow hearts theme - rainbows because I love rainbow themed parties, and hearts because it's just before Valentine's Day! There's a rainbow heart garland that I love on Pinterest so I may replicate that. Other than that, I haven't done any planning yet!
I'm trying to stick with something simple so I don't go crazy and get overwhelmed. Trying to decide between a You Are My Sunshine or April Showers Bring May Flowers theme.
