Mabel’s 2nd Birthday Pawty (& Dog Birthday Party Supplies)

Mabel is officially TWO, and you know what that means…another year, another birthday pawty!

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I’m always down for a party with a fun theme, and celebrating our pups is one of my absolute favorites – so I got my dog birthday party supplies bin down from the garage and got to work!

Life with Mabel has been an absolute joy, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words just how much she makes our house feel whole. Mabel has brought an unbelievable amount of happiness to our family. She’s been such a blessing, and her presence fills our home with so much love (and laughter) every day.

So yeah, celebrating her is pretty easy!

Mabel’s best buds, Deacon, Ollie, Archie, and Otter (plus their humans, of course) all came to celebrate with her, and the joy on her face as each friend sprinted into the backyard was absolutely priceless.

This crew gets to hang out all the time and it’s so fun watching these five grow up together. They’ve got so much energy, always running wild during the morning and afternoon while we wait for the bus. It’s like a mini puppy party every day, and it’s the cutest thing ever.

Dog Birthday Party Supplies & Food

For the pawty food, I kept things simple by reusing a lot of the same decorations from last year, which made prep a breeze!

I set out a few dips, including one of our absolute faves, Loaded Baked Potato Dip – and McKinsey helped me whip up some adorable “pupperoni” cups that were a huge hit with the crew!

For dessert, I made a pup-friendly birthday cake (because they deserve it!) and a classic Oreo trifle that didn’t last more than 2 minutes once it hit the table. It was insanely good!!

And of course, my favorite watermelon margaritas for the adults!

Dog Birthday Party Supplies: The Puppy Piñata

The puppy piñata was definitely the highlight of the party! We stuffed it with carrots and tennis balls, and the pups went absolutely wild over it! You can watch them bust it open HERE!

Quick note: if you buy this piñata, you’ll need to do a little DIY surgery to make it work. The hole it comes with is too small for tennis balls. Here’s how we made it work: Matt cut a larger rectangle hole in the bottom and I stuffed the piñata with paper to create a funnel effect so the goodies wouldn’t get stuck. After filling it up, we loosely taped the rectangle over the hole—it wasn’t perfect (you could see some carrots sticking out), but it totally worked for the dogs! To make it even more fun, Matt tied a tennis ball to the strings, and the dogs really went after it. It was hilarious watching Deacon and Mabel pull on that tennis ball until the bottom ripped open and carrots and tennis balls rained down everywhere!
