I truly love party planning and for the past 6 months I've been planning for Christiana's 2nd birthday party. This year we're not going all out, but she will have a simple yet fun party. We decided that this year, we'll make it a small family style party and that every other year go all out. I want her to have some sort of party every year until she says she no longer wants one. :O)
The theme for this year will be bubbles. That's a pretty easy party to plan, right? I love pinterest and Oopsie Daisy Blog! I got some really great ideas, especially from Oopsie Daisy.
So here's the rundown of what I have so far.
- Location: It will be a my mother's house; we'll be able save big time
- Invitations: Like last year I made my own. I took an idea from another mommy blogger and made my own I ended up emailing them, I took waaaay too long to mail.

| my version |
- Colors: fuschia, purple, light pink
- Outfit: Of course Christiana is going to wear a tutu! It will have the number 2 instead of the rabbit ears. This year she will be rocking her tutu with purple rainboots!!!

- Food:
- Mexican. I was going to make everything, but opted to have it catered. My co-worker referred someone that was uber cheap! She will come over an hour early to prepare the food, provide holders for all the food all for less than $150!! We probably would have been spending that if not more, so why stress myself out! Sooo we'll be serving beef & chicken tacos, rice, beans, chips, and with all the fixings!

- Sweets:
- I will be ordering a bubbled theme cake from Angel Maid bakery. I'll be going there this week with a picture so they can make it.
- Also I'll be having a "foods that pop" themed sweets table. With items such as cake "pops", snap, crackle "pop" rice krispie treats, tootsie "pops", blow "pops", ring "pops", maybe "pop" rocks

- Entertainment:
- Bubble blower
- Kiddie pool filled with bubble solution with hula hoops (for those jumbo bubbles)
- Make your own bubble wand station - pipe cleaners
- Station with different household items for bubble wands
- Bubble wrap cake walk- They jumped on bubble wrap with colored paper underneath. Once the music stopped, the child on the color selected got a sticker!
- Goodie bags: I am going to give every child their own bubble wand, that way parents won't have to blow bubbles for them.
