My sweet baby girl (I have no idea when I will stop calling her that…it might be never) turned 2 this last April! Of course we have to have a party. I have to confess something right now. I love parties. I love hosting them, I love going to them, I just love the feeling of a party. I went all out, because, well that is what I do. I actually did not stress out that much over the decor because I did a TON of it before hand. I made myself a timeline and I stuck to it.
I am telling you I started planning this party 2 months in advance. (actually before that if you count all the thought I put into it in my head)

Party Checklist (I took a list from Kara Allen, from Kara’s Party Ideas and made it work for me. I went to her website and could not find the printable of the timeline. So I attached the one that I made for me. Hope it helps when you are planning your next party.)
Two months before:
-Pick date, time, and place of party
-Decide on a party theme and colors to go with it.
- My daughter is quite obsessed with Bubble Guppies. I kind of like it. I think it is adorable; so I went with that theme.
-Start brainstorming (this is what I was doing even before 2 months before)
-Start buying items that will not go bad for the party (decor items, plates, cups, utensils, napkins, table clothes, etc.) The benefit of starting 2 months early is you can shop the sales and price items out. This way the party ends up costing less.
I was able find this adorable shirt on Etsy. I bought it with plenty time to spare and the birthday girl LOVED IT!
-Now would be a good time to call for any rentals if you want to do that. I did not do that for this party. She is easily entertained with everyone that came to the party.
