A birthday themed around derby is a wonderful idea. Horse and racing elements—including sweet prize ribbons, picket fences, and so on—are all very welcome here. Although the 2nd birthday theme is traditionally white and green, as shown, you can use any color palette to make it beautiful. We are in love with the preppy colors and simple neutrals.

This party uses the clubhouse catchphrase (“Oh, toodles!”) as a jumping off point for a Minnie-Mouse-themed affair. Consider going all-out with balloons in bright and pale pink; and of course, add lots of bows to the space because that is Miss Mouse’s most famous trademark.

This gender-neutral theme for a 2nd birthday party is a great way to reach for the stars. Sandwiches made with cookie cutters in the shape of a moon, or even a rocket ship placed in one corner, would look great. You can add a moon or star motif to your balloons and paper products for an unusual touch. This is another theme that works with many color ways—but be sure to bring in metallics for some space-age sheen, no matter which direction your planning takes.
