Aahh bless! Well you can invite neighbours and friends someones bound too have someone her age, or you could join a mother and toddler group depending on when her birthday is she'll make loads of friends, You could throw her a teddy-bear picnic they seem to love that and they seem to interact more with each other as they want to introduce their teddies. I love two year olds although they terrible at that age they lots of good ideas but dont know how to express them, why not ask her to help you decorate on the day as they love this. even if there are no 2 year olds even anyone between1 and 4 will be ok from where i see it children sometimes like playing with those older or younger than themselves.

It very much depends on how far away her birthday is. If it's next week it may be difficult. What about family? Children don't mind (especially at 2) if they aren't surrounded by same age celebrants just as long as everyone makes a fuss of the Birthday girl!
If you have a few weeks maybe you might like to go to a mums and tots group or nursery which would be good for both of you and she would also meet enough children to invite to make any party quite boistrous!
Don't get hung up about her not having any friends at this stage as 2 year olds don't form friendships that say a later three or four year old would and would actively select their party attendees. You are the one she really wants at her party and although it's nice to have a Birthday tea and a few games she would very much appreciate the two of you doing something special together in the absence of it.
Hope you both have a wonderful day!

It doesn't surprize me that she doesn't have any friends yet, she is only 2 yrs. old but she does have family. I would invite everyone to come celebrate as a family. I would decorate with Birthday decorations, and party favors and just make her the center of attention. I would put all her presents where she can see the pretty packages, and when it's time sit her down in front of them and let her take the lead, take pictures and have her birthday cake. I think she will get the message that it is her special day.
By next year she may have some special friends but, she is still pretty young.
Have a fun party!!

At 2 you don't really have many frinds but that doesn't matter . She is only 2 so you don't need to do something very big ! Has she got any cousins or famil and some of your frinds maybe could come . Just do some sort of fun buffet with a birthday cake or something like and she'll be very happy ! I understand you want to do something very good but you have plenty of years where you will be able to do some fun stuff ! So be patient and in a couple of years you will have fun preparing the parties !

Why don't you take her somewhere where there are other children of a similar age, an indoor play area perhaps, where there will be other young mum's too.
I'm sure they will make a fuss of her and so will the other kids, then into the cafeteria and buy her a cake and take two candles with you and if you start singing happy birthday to her I'm sure others will join in as well.
Whatever you do both have a great day.

The question begs why does she have no friends? Do you not go to a mother/toddler group?? Or any kind of other child interaction? Even other friends with toddlers, children...you really must get her socializing with other kids soon if not!!
However, only thing I can suggest (as you don't want a house full of strangers) is to have a family do this time around, and make sure you take her to a local mum/toddler group in the next year, so she'll have friends by next time!!
There are always groups like thisa round that meet once a week in term time, and its good for you aswell :D

My god daughter didnt have friends at that age either, she is 4 now and thanks to school and preschool she has her own network of friends so at her recent birthday she didnt acknowldge any of the adults there.
At 2 it was family and friends of the family round for tea and, as we are all a bit silly, we were happy to join in with the silly games, jumping in and out of ball pits and building sand castles in her sand pit.
Because she is the only child in the family and had no peer group she was fine in the company of adults and this has transferred well with other children now she is mixing with them.

i make a point of not having big parties for my children and they have always been more than happy with their special days. i get the table decs that i think they'll like and we have a small family birthday tea, with all the treats they like and sing happy birthday. they are then truly the centre of attention on the day. at 2 years old your daughter would probably be completely overwhelmed by a party anyway.

I guess your daughter is abit too young to have "friends" so i suppose the best way is to celebrate it with family, close friends and/or neighbours. What ever suits you... she won't remember it anyway cos i heard that one can't remember anything before three or four years old. But you'll have pictures to remind her of what mess she made on that day - so go ahead and throw a little party for your princess.

Are you in basic terms a relatives guy for the time of holidays and birthdays? No> then why are you putting plenty emphasis on it. you could say your daughter is going to decide on the eating place and additionally you desire her to connect you for an day trip ANY day. perhaps you would be able to desire to re-examine the type you're saying issues. we've bonus days and supply presents to a minimum of one yet another no longer waiting for December twenty 5th however the revenues whilst ever they could be. My husband takes me out to dinner as quickly as a month to spend time with me it has interior the previous landed on the day i became born yet that's no longer why we went. i admire my husband and there are holidays he celebrates that i do no longer. I attended a end of year occasion at paintings yet in basic terms with the aid of fact it became no longer a Christmas occasion.
