Book Themed 2nd Bday

MrsSR

DD's 2nd bday is book themed (she loves to read).

Her invites look like the due date cards in library books, each of the food items has a book theme (Green deviled eggs-Green Eggs and Ham, meatballs-Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, etc)

So, what colors would you go with?  I'm planning on having the book that goes with the food next to it along with a flag banner made from book pages... but what about steamers, balloons, etc??

DirectionsNotIncluded

I'd do bright colors that go with the book banners. Blues, teals, greens, yellows. Pick a few of the colors that predominately show throughout the books and use a few of those mixed together. 

What a great idea for a birthday party. I love it!

I think primary colors would look great.  If you want to narrow it down to two colors, I think any bright would would.  I might do red and aqua/bright blue (dr. suess) or orange, white and green (green eggs and ham)

Which books are her favorites of those?  I'd go with one she likes the most.  If those are all her favorites, I'd go with the easiest to find decorations.  Maybe the Green Eggs and Ham one.

Could you make the banner to look like the hunger caterpillar? Then write Happy Birthday D on it.

I'd pick her favorite colors and use those.  Those books have pretty much every color so anything would work.

You should have all kids dress up as their fav character from a book and bring book to party. then have a small parade with dd leading the way holding the booksy through neighborhhod/yard.
