Joyful Bubbles & Brunch 2nd Birthday Party
These pictures have me bubbling over with joy, feeling all warm and bubbly inside… you get the picture. ;) In a nutshell, this party is seriously cute. AND approachable! Janice Carnevale of Bellwether Events is at it again for baby Scarlett; she brought a simple theme to life in such a fun way for this Bubbles & Brunch 2nd Birthday Party. I absolutely adore the balloon topped cupcakes and the backyard setting… and look at how happy the sweet birthday girl looks! Is there really anything better?
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
- Fabulous “Pop On In” Balloon Door “wreath”
- Round (bubble inspired) Snacks: grapes, donut holes, Danish Pancakes, Bagels & more
- Darling DIY Balloon Cupcake Toppers & Felt Hat for the Birthday Girl
- Every little one’s dream: a Homemade Bubble Pit!
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Janice…
Some of you may remember Scarlett’s first birthday party that was featured on HWTM last year! We are back with a just-as-fun party this year for her second birthday! Since Scarlett and her dad Brett are both super into bubbles, mom Terra and I thought a brunch and bubbles birthday party would be the way to go! The tag line was Pop On Over for Bubbles and Brunch — Scarlett is Turning Two!
Parents Terra and Brett love to host their friends and family at their home. Luckily the weather was mild this year and we were able to spread out all over the yard. The backyard was filled with anything and everything related to bubbles. We had a bubble machine, 3 different bubble stations with varying sized wands, a “bubble pit” — aka a pool filled with bubbles (OK they were really clear beach balls, you got me) and a bubble wrap popping station for the kids to jump on. We also had a coloring station with sheets of bubble designs to color.
In addition to brunch appropriate finger food, we included a wide assortment of bubble shaped foods, like grapes, blueberries, donut holes, and Danish pancakes — which look like pancake holes (check your local Trader Joe’s). We DIYed the balloon cupcake toppers for an extra “pop” on the table. For the adults we offered some bubbly drinks to accompany a variety of juices, including peach, pear, and orange. We used paper lanterns and balloons to continue with the bubble theme in the decor.
Guests left the party with their own bottle of bubbles, a wand, a rubber ducky for bubble bath fun at home, and a few pieces of double bubble gum.

Thank you so much for featuring Scarlett’s party!
Janice, what a lovely party! And love the theme! I was thinking about doing something similar for my daughters second bday, and particularly LOVE your “bubble pit” with the clear beach balls! I thankfully found a site that carries them in varied sizes, but was curious…do you happen to remember how many you bought to fill up that kiddie pool? I know it’s a random question, but as I’m getting ready to order, I honestly can’t quite figure out how many to purchase, without purchasing TOO many/spending too much but also making sure I get enough! Thanks so much!

Beach balls? Thanks!
Where did you get the Beach Balls? Thanks!
Where did you buy your clear balls?
I’d also really love to know where the beach balls were purchased as I’m planning a similar party…
Any answer yet on where to find the balls? Such a cute idea!
At Beachballs.com Such a cute idea!

Where did you find clear beach balls?
Weird that this posted here…but anyway…I am going to need the the cheap version of this!
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this, as it won’t let me view the other comments, but where did you get the clear beach balls? thanks!!

This is so awesome – I have a very similar idea for my daughter’s 1st birthday party coming up. I have been searching high and low for clear beach balls like the ones you used in the baby pool – any recommendations you can provide would be welcome! What size beach balls did you use? Looks like 6″ to me. Anyway – beautiful party, great inspiration!!
Did anyone find out where to get the clear beach balls and how many to buy?
Where did you get the clear beach balls for the ball pit? The links above don’t work.
How many beach balls (approx) did you need to fill the pool?
Love this idea! I am not sure how many balls to order. Do you remember around how many you used?
I’d like to see comments 16-30 to see if anyone answered re: where to buy the beach balls, but we can’t get them to loan on any browser on a Mac or PC. I’m posting this to see if it will show them to me.
No one seems to have got an answer for where to buy various clear beach balls I found beachballs.Com but smallest size is 12 inches. Can someone enlightened me where to search? Thank you!
We haven’t had any luck finding them either… they used to be available at beachballs.com – and if you do a google search for 6″ clear beach ball they actually come up at beachballs.com in the image results (and it says 6-inch in the image description), but when you click to go there, you get taken to an “out of stock” page. :(
Where did you get the clear beach balls?! I love it!!
Cute! Where did you get those clear little balls?
