Themes for girls' b-day party (dress pictures added, as requested!)
I was originally thinking of doing Hawaiian/hula for DD's 2nd b-day (because I had a dress w/hula girl on it  ), and I may still do that, but I am looking for other ideas.
For her 1st b-day, we did a pink/green garden theme.
Her party will be in our backyard, close friends & family. But I still like to do a theme-- decorations, invites, cake (I'll make the cake so I have to find a cool one for the theme), etc.
Thanks!
Update:
Ok, these are the dress possibilities (as of now I have a dress-buying problem  )
This one I LOVE, I emailed Larry Birkhead asking about it when I saw Dannilynn wearing it in a magazine But probably is too dressy for our backyard party. Could use it for Easter, but I have another dress I love for Easter too
This is the hula one I got on clearance last year that prompted me wanting a hula/Hawaiian theme. It's really cute, a soft green...but not sure it's the "one" anymore for her party, along with the theme.
Close-up of hula detail (it's only in the one spot on the front of the dress, the rest of the dress is plain)
LOVE this dress for her b-day (will definitely use this for her b-day pics with Lori
 )
Have this one too (another possibility for photos with Lori ), but not sure if I want it for her b-day party

Re: Themes for girls' b-day party
I did a Hula party for dd's 1st bday. It was really cute and fun.
for her 2nd we did a Mickey/Minnie theme and this year we will probably do a Circus theme.
I think this one is going to be the hardest since we want a clown, dunk tank and other fun activities for the kids.
fyi I bought my luau invitations from this website.

they have a really cute design for a luau parties.

Re: Themes for girls' b-day party
I totally love the hula party idea!!!!
But if I had to pick another, I have to say that I love the whole underwater kind of theme. I just love the idea of fish in bowls serving as centerpieces... shells, sand... Can you have sand if it's underwater? Hhhmm... Maybe it's a general BEACH theme that I like which brings me back to why I love the hula idea! I am so sorry - I apparently am no help to you since I circled back to your original idea

I was going to do an M&M theme for Mattea's 1st birhday but then I saw this on birthdayexpress.com and decided to go with it. I also got her an outfit to match the theme! Image Attachment(s):

So funny, I thought about doing a beach theme instead of strictly Hula/Hawaiian...maybe I will. I NEED to find a cute cake to make, that's what's directing my search at this point

Very true! That would be cute!
I guess I have a larger issue too I initially bought the hula dress (from Gymboree) last year for the purpose of her wearing it for her 2nd b-day and doing a Hula theme. But since then, I've bought several other dresses that I LOVE that she could possibly wear for her b-day too...while they're not "hula", they could be "beachy" I guess   Seriously, I know it's ridiculous to think about this, I completely admit it

I love the idea of a hula theme, BUT what I think you should do is post the dresses and we can offer theme suggestion based on the dresses so that we create the theme around the dress!

Ok, I will definitely do that! I have to take a pic of 2 of the dresses tonight, the other 2 are still on the Gap website.
Stay tuned

Not sure about party suggestions, but I love the 1st and last dresses! They are all cute though, but those are MY favs  As far as themes, what is DD into? Maybe that will spark a good idea for a theme?

I am of no help I love all the dresses I think the Hula theme is really cute and although you feel its not "the one" it will look really nice with that theme. The dressy one love and even if its the backyard she's the b'day girl so she can stand out

I would go with dress #2 and the hawaiian theme. Love the 3rd and 4th dresses as well. Love the 1st one but since you did pink and green for her 1st, I'd skip those colors. Good luck, keep us posted!
