Calling all passengers, now boarding B&L Airlines. One of my dear friends asked me to help her plan her twins 3rd birthday party. Her boys love airplanes and the Dimpleprints Airplane party package was perfect for this sweet celebration.
To create the backdrop for the table I used the clouds in the package as inspiration. I loved the clouds Jenny from Crossing the Bugger-Dixon Line used in this party, so I set out to recreate the look. I made clouds using bulletin board paper, fluffy batting and my sewing machine. I wanted an airplane to be soaring through the sky so I used my Cricut to trace the image of the plane and cut.
The focal point of the table was the suitcase which I filled with “In Flight” meals for the kids. A cloud full of cupcakes sat on either side of the suitcase and there were plenty of other tasty treats to enjoy.
The party package had so many fun signs, banners and party hats it was hard to to not print them all. I also made cloud centerpieces for the tables.
There were lots of activities planned to keep the kids busy. They played a pin the propeller on the airplane game, made paper airplanes and decorated wooden clothespin airplanes.
All the passengers had a high flying time and went home with fluffy white clouds (cotton candy.)
This was such a fun party to plan and pilots Brady and Logan had a fabulous time celebrating their 3rd birthday!
So cute. Love the clouds for a party favor. Thos little guys are so beautiful
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! You are amazing! When do you have time for all this?!!!
love the consistency of the theme throughout the party, really cute details!
Amazing party! Love all the details 🙂
Was so fun and so fabulous and my boys talked about it for days after. I would have to agree that they are pretty handsome little fellas and LOVE Ms. Mariah!! Thank you for helping make it a perfect day for my lovies.
Very cute. I love the “in flight meals”. What a nice and easy way to feed the kids 🙂
I love this party! So cute. I am planning my little guy's first birthday party. Where did you get the little suitcase boxes and the t-shirts for boys?
Thanks Christina! I used my Cricut to cut out the little suitcase boxes, but I know there are several vendors on Etsy that sale them. The t-shirts were made using images from the Dimpleprints party package. Have fun planning, first birthday parties are so much fun!
This is an ADORABLE party. I love everything about it, especially the “baggage claim” for favors. I’m featuring this post on my Celebration Sundays – Airplane Party Theme today. Enjoy!! Thanks, Nichi – The Mandatory Mooch http://mandatorymooch.blogspot.com/2013/03/celebration-sundays-airplane-party-theme.html
What did you serve in the ‘in flight meals’? I can see pretzels and what looks to be a half croissant sandwich. Anything else? I’ll post on FB too. Based in Dallas doing it at the Frontiers of Flight museum in May!
Kerri, the ‘in flight’ meals included a bag of pretzels, a bag of apples and a sandwich (we ordered sub platters from subway) What a fun place to have an airplane party, can’t wait to see it!
