Two Groovy Birthday: 8 Festive Ways to Celebrate

Two groovy birthday: colorful balloons

A two-groovy birthday theme is a chance to have some far-out fun with everything from the late 1960s-70s era — think hippie-inspired motifs like peace signs and daisy flowers to disco balls, bell bottoms, and rainbows. Keep reading for some groovy birthday party decoration ideas, plus other ways to celebrate your favorite two-year-old.

1. Create a Groovy Party Backdrop

One way to make your party memorable is to set up a space where guests can snap photos of the special day. Design a photo backdrop that fits with the two groovy theme. If you’re crafty, create a DIY tie-dye sheet as the backdrop or simply hang a large piece of butcher paper with festive elements like peace signs, streamers, and mini disco balls to match your theme party.

2. Set the Scene With Flower Power

Celebrate your flower child with floral arrangements and centerpieces that are right at home in a 70s theme party. You can fill colorful vases with daisy flowers or vibrant sunflowers. You can also use mason jars and add bouquets of wildflowers for a wild and carefree vibe. 

3. Choose Far-Out Lighting

Looking for unique party ideas? Light up the room with psychedelic lava lamps to match the hippie theme. Place one on each table or make a funky arrangement on the gift table that guests can rave over when they arrive.

4. Festoon Your Space With Retro Balloon Garland

A balloon garland or balloon arch is an easy decor element that instantly brightens up any space. Grab a balloon garland kit from your local birthday party supply store to make your own or order one from a party planner. Incorporate tie-dye colors and choose daisy balloons to make it more eye-catching. 

To celebrate a two-year-old baby girl, you may want shades of pink balloons. For a groovy baby boy party, you could opt for blue hues. You can also skip traditional gender-specific colors and go for a fabulous design with all shades of the rainbow.

5. Hang a Birthday Banner

Hang a groovy banner announcing “Happy birthday” along with the honoree’s name. Display the banner at the venue entrance or drape it over the gift or dessert table. You can choose a tie-dyed banner and add peace signs to spruce it up.

6. Dance Under a Disco Ball

What could be cuter than a bunch of two-year-olds grooving to some tunes? Have a toddler dance party by setting up a play space under a shimmering disco ball. Play your tot’s favorite tunes and get ready to enjoy watching them move on the dancefloor.

7. Dig Into Yummy Cupcakes and Birthday Cake

Make your own birthday cake or order a custom two-groovy design from your favorite bakery. Elements like daisy flowers, VW buses, and tie-dye frosting will add to the festive look. You can also incorporate groovy cake toppers or cupcake toppers featuring smiley faces, rainbows, and butterflies.

8. Thank Guests With Groovy Party Favors

Goodie bags are a great way to show guests how much you appreciate them taking the time to celebrate your two-year-old. For young guests, fill bags with temporary tattoos and stickers, tasty snacks, and fruit juice boxes. You can even send parents home with fresh mini bouquets of Gerber daisies for an extra thoughtful touch.
