Since it is slow...help me choose LA's b'day theme!

I'm still in denial that LA will be three in mid-February.  I need to start thinking of a theme soon :)  Her first bday was just kindof "purple" and last year was Elmo.  She's into the Wiggles--but I am NOT doing a bday around them (I get enough Fruit Salad every day!). 

Ideas?

Re: Since it is slow...help me choose LA's b'day theme!

  • We did a milk & cookies theme for DS's 2nd birthday that was a huge hit and SO easy.
  • We did a ballerina theme last year.
  • I think I am doing minnie mouse for my 2 yo birthday in Feb.

  • I did Strawberry Shortcake themed 2 birthday for Mia. Big hit, served strawberry shortcake instead of regular cake too. Way more yummy!  I did strawberry lemonade to and love salad.   Pink, red and green balloons and streamers.

  • I want to do Dr Seuss for DS next year, I love the bright colors.

  • All good ideas--keep 'em coming!  I am thinking about Dr. Seuss, Very Hungry Caterpillar, Bubbles (LA is obsessed, but it is Feb. and not sure how to pull off bubbles with an indoor party).

    I love The Hungry Caterpillar idea, too.

  • She is getting a kitchen set and all the goodies to go with it for her b'day so I did think about a "chef" party...but since she doesn't eat, well, not sure about that since it would be totally food related (she pretends to cook though which is so cute).  I think that is my issue with the VHC idea--food based!

  • Total different direction but you could have a snowman theme (if you are somewhere in the country that it snows).

    My baby shower was Dr. Seuss themed and everyone brought a book as part of their gift.  The centerpieces were hardback Dr. Seuss books opened up and clipped to each other with binder clips and had helium balloons in the center. 

  • I thought having a Valentine's baby would be awesome- a day late, no biggie. I'd do a We Love Lily party the week before and make the world explode in pink and red and hearts and X's and O's and little cherubs and fluffy clouds and little violins. But, I am so cheesy that I roll my eyes at myself all the time, so it may be too much for a normal person. :)

    It is so bittersweet- 3 is really when personalities begin to shine (and drive you insane)- such a fun (and OMG hellish at times) year! Honestly, 4 may be worse for the tantrums, here. But, I still find stuff to just love about every age

  • It's down to a full on hearts party or VHC.  I am having an easier time thinking of fun stuff for the VHC so it might win out this year...why am I overthinking this because that is COMPLETELY what I am doing!!  Of course, here I am looking for b'day party ideas and yet I haven't taken down a lick of Christmas decor yet.  Gotta love my priorities!!
