Toddlers love learning their ABCs and singing the alphabet song. If you have a little one turning 2, 3, or even 4 years old, plan an ABC themed birthday party to celebrate their love of learning letters.

This article will give you ideas on how to plan an ABC themed party including decorations, cake, games, and take home surprises.

Pick Your Party Location
If you're on a budget, then the best locations for your toddler's ABC themed birthday party are either your house if the weather is chilly or a local park if the weather is nicer. If you have a few extra dollars to spare, consider renting a space at a local restaurant or kid's play gym.

DIY: ABC Party Invitations
Once you have your location and date picked out, try making your own party invitations with the help of your toddler. Your computer is a great resource for this project or you can use scrap booking supplies.

To make ABC party invitations on your computer, use a hollow style font for the top of the invitation to say something like "You're Invited to My ABC Birthday Party" or "Come to My ABC Party!" You can then have your toddler color in the hollow letters. Use a regular font to fill in the party details including when, where, and if you want gifts or not. Be sure to print the invitations on sturdy cardstock.

To make ABC party invitations using scrap booking supplies, purchase some light colored cardstock and some coordinating scrap booking papers. Look for papers that feature the alphabet. Cut out various letters from the scrap booking paper. You can have your toddler decorate these letters with glitter or stickers before adhering them to the cardstock. Cut the cardstock into an invitation sized square or rectangle. Print the party details in the middle of the invitation and then have your toddler help you glue the letters randomly around the invitation.

Order the Cake
Ask your local bakery if they have an existing ABC themed cake decoration set. If not, you can purchase your own cake decorations at a party store and have the baker add them to the cake.

What cute ideas! BTW: Ac is currently my main source of income (hopefully that will soon change) I could really use your help with PVs for my article. Just leave me a comment (I don't subscribe because my e-mail would be CRAZY!) and I'll make sure to reciprocate your page view/comment . . . it'd really help me out! I need lots of help increasing my PV average. I'm almost at 200/article, but my articles are getting rejected for upfront payment. Thanks! (My doggie needs medicine and I need to repay my grandmother . . .)
