The pink sprinkle donut design
The word TWO is the star. T and W are chunky slab-serif letters in a soft coral pink, and the O is a round donut with golden dough peeking out around pink frosting and tiny sprinkles in white, pink and red. Just under it, sweet loops across in a tall mint aqua script, its last letter swooping up past the donut. Little sprinkles in pink, aqua and gold are scattered all around, like a party table after the donuts have been decorated.
The birthday girl's shirt simply reads TWO sweet. Family shirts put a title above it in a big aqua script, then OF THE in small gray capitals, and add Birthday Baby in a pink handwritten script at the bottom, so Mom wears Mama OF THE TWO sweet Birthday Baby and Grandpa wears Grandpa OF THE TWO sweet Birthday Baby.
Two Sweet is one of the most popular themes for a second birthday, and a donut makes it easy to carry through the whole party. The shirts often come back out for a weekend donut run or her next playdate. Many parents also save her toddler tee in a keepsake box with the TWO candle from her cake, along with a photo of her first big bite of donut.
Two Sweet donut shirts for every age
The donut comes four ways:
- Adult donut Two Sweet tees, unisex XS to 4X, for Mama, Dada, the grandparents, aunts, uncles and godparents.
- Kids donut Two Sweet tees, youth S to XL, for the big donut fans in the family.
- Toddler donut Two Sweet tees in 2T to 5T, usually the birthday girl's own size, plus toddler siblings.
- The donut Two Sweet baby bodysuit and its baby tee for the littlest donut fans in the family.
The Name menu has 24 family titles, Mommy, Daddy, Mimi, Nanny, Titi and Godfather among them, plus Two Sweet for her. Great Grandma, Lala or another donut-party title goes into Custom family name.
Planning a Two Sweet donut party
A donut second birthday is bright, easy and fun for toddlers. Take your colors from the shirts: pink, mint aqua, white and a bit of gold. A donut wall, a pegboard with donuts hanging from the pegs, makes a great centerpiece and photo spot. Add a balloon garland in pink, aqua and white with a few sprinkle-print balloons, and a sign that says Two Sweet over the dessert table.
For food, a donut tower with pink and white frosting, a sprinkle-covered cake with a TWO topper, mini donuts for little hands, strawberry milk in small bottles and fruit skewers keep everyone happy. A decorate-your-own-donut bar with plain glazed donuts, frosting and bowls of sprinkles is a hit with the big kids, and it doubles as the favor.
Games for two-year-olds should be simple: a donut-on-a-string challenge for the older children, a bubble station, a dance party and a sprinkle hunt with pastel plastic eggs hidden around the yard. For the grown-ups, a coffee bar next to the donut wall is always welcome, and a guest book where everyone draws a donut and signs it makes a funny keepsake. Pink and aqua paper straws, donut-shaped plates and a little bowl of rainbow sprinkles at each table finish the look without much cost.
Donut party outfits
Grown-ups look sweet pairing their donut shirts with light jeans or white shorts and sneakers, and grandmas with a mint or pink cardigan. Big sisters may like a tutu, brothers shorts and sneakers. Put her in the toddler donut tee with a pink tutu, a bow and sparkly shoes; it washes easily after the frosting.
On a warm day, set up the donut wall outside in the shade so the frosting holds. Invite guests to wear pink, aqua, white or pastels, so the group photo looks as sweet as the dessert table. Hand each child a donut on a stick for the picture and you will get the happiest faces of the day.
Sizing for the family
The final photo on every shirt is a size chart in inches. The adult donut tee is a relaxed unisex cut; most grown-ups take their normal size. A two-year-old birthday girl usually wears 2T, though a petite girl may still fit 24 months, so measure something she wears now before you choose.
Ordering for a big family
Every donut shirt for the family goes in one cart: add the first, set the next name and size, and add again until the family is complete. Checkout applies the family savings, counting all apparel in your cart.
Donut shirts are printed after you order, taking 2 to 5 business days, then the box spends roughly 3 to 5 business days in standard ground shipping, so ordering two weeks ahead of the party works well. Need them by a certain date? Send a request and we'll try to help.
