Say no more. Planning a birthday party must first come with a birthday theme. Here are four birthday themes that can help you choose what’s best and suitable for your little one:
Two Sweet Birthday Themes
We all know that not everyone has a sweet tooth, but once your guests see various types of sweets ranging from cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream to the cake—we believe everyone can fall for this sweet birthday theme.
To top this too-sweet theme, one great idea is to prepare more than two flavors of each sweet to ensure everyone will get their favorite flavor! Since your baby loves treats, this will be perfect for your baby as you celebrate their birthday, and your baby might get very hyper until the event is over!
Two Fast Birthday Themes
A Race Car theme will sparkle the eyes of your 2-year-old once he finds his perfect theme! This theme will look even more relaxed if you have a black, green, and white color palette.
This will also be better if you have a black and white chequered design for the table, banner, and other decorations. And the cake needs to have a race car on it (or even a trophy) to make it more awesome.
Two Cool Birthday Themes
Nothing can beat your 2-year-old for being cool, so make sure you forget to give him his cool, black sunglasses. This theme is also perfect for your 2-year-old girl who loves ice cream and popsicles and does not even bulge when she gets brain freeze—how cool is that, right?
Your 2-year-old boy could get all silly with his cool outfit, and your 2-year-old girl can show off her summer look while having her shades on!
Two Groovy Birthday Themes
If you want your 2nd-year-old birthday party to be full of fabulous colors and groovy dance movements, then here it is—your two groovy themes.
Nothing but good vibes is all everyone wanted to have at this party, so everyone is required to wear their sunnies and be chill in their seats. A groovy floral table and pillow seats are great for the outside, and your little one can run freely while enjoying their birthday.
Two Wild Animals
Having a problem when your child does not want to go home after a whole day of visiting a zoo? Then this is a perfect birthday theme for you. A jungle or zoo theme will make your 2-year-old wish come true.
This theme includes roaring sounds of different wild animals and jungle decor, and it will be great if there are props of trees that could swing by your little wild one! You can also add jungle foliage and centerpieces to experience a fun and wild jungle birthday experience fully!
Tea for Two or Let’s Party!
Teas, biscuits, cookies—what are you waiting for? This tea for two birthday parties will make your baby girl experience a vast, classy birthday experience. Can you imagine the colors pink, purple, and peach?
The classy teacups and teapots, flower vases, and honeysuckle vines on the table? What about the fruit bar, yogurt, and pink frosted donut cake stand? Then after imagining, I can assure you that this tea for two themes will be your choice!
Two The Moon
The moon always leaves us in awe just by staring at it from afar… so why not take the moon to your 2-year-old birthday party? Your little one will enjoy this adventure to the moon and beyond! Let your baby catch stars while admiring the shimmering cake and galactic sweets you prepared. There will also be cloud-formed cookies, constellation centerpieces, a moon photo booth, wooden moon wands, and stardust favor jars with glitters – what a magical theme party, right?

Who misses Anna and Elsa? How about Olaf? Then this is your sign to throw your 2-year-old a Frozen birthday theme. The colors blue and white will be everywhere and do not forget the snowflakes and snowmen paper lanterns that should be decorated. This Frozen vibe will make your little one happy and awed simultaneously.
Minnie or Mickey Mouse Birthday Theme
The iconic Minnie or Mickey Mouse is on the house! This theme consists of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and the inside is full of plush toys and figurines that kids will love. The party decorations are inspired by Minnie or Mickey (or it could be both), and there’s more—the kids could decorate their own Sorcerer Mickey hat! Nothing can go wrong with choosing this birthday theme for your 2-year-old.

If you want to focus more on the 2nd birthday party ideas for your baby boys, then let’s continue the list:
Ball Theme Party
If your baby boy loves basketball or baseball, then here it is! You would want a Most Valuable Player or the Rookie of the Year theme for him. Decorate many balloons and tables with balls on them, and ball-themed cupcakes must also be done! You can also request a mini basketball ring or hot dogs on the grill to experience these types of sports for your kid fully.
Pirate Theme
Ahoy! Let’s get ready to go wild with this pirate-themed birthday party, starting with pirate flag bunting, skeleton decorations, a captain’s wheel as the centerpiece, barrels as food containers, a treasure hunt for the games, and, course, a pirate and a ship themed cake! All these can make your baby boy the happiest birthday boy in the world.
Barnyard Farm Party
Let’s get more fun with this unique idea of a barnyard farm party. This theme will have many farm animals, sunflowers, and red barns. This is unique because of synthetic grass and natural straws. Also, we should not forget the egg-themed cupcakes and milk churns from the farm. These are cute and fun to eat and drink.
Dinosaur Themed Party
Fond of dinosaurs? Then let’s get your baby boy a dinosaur-themed party, where we should see large footprints everywhere. Balloons, banners, and also dinosaur party masks will be fantastic! The cake and cookies are cute with their fossil design theme.
Dinosaur eggs are also great; anyone can get one and transform it into an Easter egg. We all know that kids will love these dinosaur-themed parties – and your baby boy will be thrilled to know this.
Superhero Theme
Pow! Wham! A little superhero saves the day, thanks to your baby boy who got inspired by his favorite superhero of all time. Get ready to have some full action by dressing him with his favorite superhero and let him be awed with a city landscape backdrop that he wishes to save all the time.
An excellent cake for this is a city skyscraper theme; the cupcakes are all over the city. You can also make different superhero masks and capes and let his friends wear them, and there it is—a whole squad celebrating the birthday superhero!
