airplane party: the favor bags …

May 17, 2011

i always love to put together little party favor bags to go with the theme of the party.

i put together these little favor bags with some draw string canvas bags from etsy.  i then used my lifestyle crafts die cut machine with the circle and star cutters to make the old school air force logo out of wool felt, and just glued them on the bag.

inside the favor bags, i put peanuts, a toy airplane, a compass, airplane stickers, a foam airplane, and a candy airplane.

the candy airplanes were a lot of fun to make, i originally saw the idea here, and i decided to make them using push up pops, fruit striped gum, colored hair elastics, and lifesavers.

my little army of candy airplanes.

Party // airplane party invitations

May 16, 2011

back in april, we threw my little ezra an airplane party for his fourth birthday.

before you think i’m nuts for throwing a party when my newborn wasn’t even quite two weeks old, i actually had this party in mind for a year now. so i had slowly been buying things and making things for the party for a while.  that really made it nice to put it all together the day of the party.  ezra had been asking me when his party was for the last six months, so i knew i had to pull through despite just having thomas.  and, it was a success!  the little man had a blast!

i make these “boarding passes” in photoshop after these cute invitations i saw over at hip hip hooray, via little frills.  i also ordered some airmail envelopes from amazon to put the invites in, i thought it was a cute way to incorporate the airplane theme.

it was fun to put the party details on the boarding pass invites, including the departure date of the party, arrival time, destination, food service, etc.

i’ll be sharing more from the party soon, so stay tuned.

airplane party inspiration …

January 25, 2011

my little ezra’s 4th birthday is coming up right around the same time our new little baby boy is due.
i have been trying to get ahead and ready for his party in advance, because i anticipate that it will be a bit of a crazy time.  he has been so excited for his party, and asking me about when his birthday is everyday the past few months, so i still want to try to pull off a fun little party for him even though things will be a bit crazy with the new baby.

we ventured off to our local airplane air force museum a few weeks ago, to play and to look for a little inspiration.

we loved this blue and yellow airplane.  i saw it, and was sold on the color scheme.  i always like to have a color scheme when planning parties, because i feel like it is so much easier to get all the accessories together that way.

i also love the old school / vintage air force logos on all the vintage airplanes.  i am definitely going to be incorporating it into some of the party decorations.

and, of course these two had a blast running around wild…
