I always swore I’d stay away from the character parties, but like most things I thought I’d never do as a mom, I found myself planning a Bubble Guppies party for Braylen’s second birthday. She loves the show, she can name all of the characters and she talks about it non-stop. Plus, I’ll attribute it to her knowledge of fossils, airplanes and her desire to be a rock-star. Who says television isn’t educational? Wait, don’t answer that.
Because we put our house on the market and we didn’t really know what the situation would be this year I opted out of another party at our house. Plus, two-year-olds (and their friends) like to play so iJump seemed like the logical choice.
And even though iJump will provide everything for the party, I wanted to have a hand in the decorations. So I enlisted the help of some amazing vendors and came up with a fun way to incorporate the Bubble Guppies into her second birthday party.
I wanted to pull some of the fun colors from the cartoon characters so I chose to use aqua, orange and pink. The fabulous ladies at Sweet Birdie’s Nest created all of the paper goods including the signs, cupcake toppers, stickers, banner and water bottle labels. Everything came already printed and the quality was excellent.
Adorable cupcake toppers.
I seriously thought I ended up with a better picture of the whole table, but this is the best I had when I looked back at my pictures.
Yummy Publix cupcakes!
Goldfish in a big fish bowl to stay true to our Bubble Guppies theme with fun party circles.
The cookie favors were created by the talented Doughmestic Housewife and the best part? They taste just as good as they look.
Stickers on paper plates to add a little personal touch and little Bubble Guppies on buttons for extra detail on the tables.
And her birthday outfit? I don’t know if it could have matched the party any better and I was thrilled that it all came together so perfectly.
The best part was that we were able to use everything again the next day for a little cake and ice cream birthday party for family at my mom and dad’s house. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Happy little birthday girl ๐
And we got this reaction both times the birthday song was sang. Needless to say, she was a little excited about the whole idea of her birthday and of course, blowing out the candles.
I have to show you a better picture of the Bubble Guppies cookies. I was seriously so impressed!
And her invitations from the Little Princess Paperie.

Man I’d love a party this put together! You did absolutely amazing, and those cookies. I bow to that skill. I don’t know how y’all ate them, they are just too pretty. (OK I do, but I had to imply I wouldn’t just gobble a pretty cookie down.)
