As I said in a previous post, I love it when readers share with me how they took a theme I posted, made it their own and went above and beyond even!
Remember my son's airplane party. Here and here?
Jennifer of Nounces Design threw an airplane party for her son recently and the details just have to be shared! Some great stuff here!
First off, her invitations. She is a graphic designer and created some amazing invitations. She went the same route I did with the boarding pass and also the map envelopes. Click on the photo to see it larger.
These invitations are absolutely adorable! MUCH better than mine!
And guess what? She sells them! So all of you folks that aren't crafty with a computer can still have amazing invites. Buy them at her etsy store here.
Now on to the things we love... details! Make sure to click on the image so you can get an up close view.
In Jennifer's words:
"For the goodies bags, I painted a Cheerios box brown, I then cut two
pieces of brown paper into the shape of a suitcase and attached one to
either side. To dress it up a bit, I used two stripes of yellow
cardstock and travel stickers. I think they turned out pretty good.
The adults were also sent home with a goodie bag, chocolate chip
cookies….YUM!"
Don't you love the goody bags????
Moving onto the food. She served individual lunches in keeping with the airplane theme. She continued the logo throughout, which really is the key to creating a cohesive event and bringing the theme to life. Look at the lunch up close. The banner that the airplane is pulling says what the lunch is "ham, turkey.. etc." Very creative!
Now for the cake!
From Jennifer:
"I went back and forth about the cake. I didn’t know if I wanted to go
with cake or cupcakes. I couldn’t decide…so I went with both! Dan and I
made the cake topper airplane out of Crayola Model Magic. Derek loved
seeing the airplane on everything. He would get so excited every time
he saw it. For the cupcakes, I added flags. Some with the airplane
graphic and the others with his age, 2."
How cute is the airplane on that cake? and I love the clouds!
Another fabulous airplane party!
Thanks Jennifer, for sharing with us. This will serve as inspiration for many visitors.
Don't forget! Jennifer has done all the hard work of the invites! She also creates custom invitations and announcements of any nature. Over 105 items for sale in her store right now! Visit her etsy store!
This is the cutest party ever! I am in love with it. Just adorable.

I love your ideas. I am in Durban South Africa and am planning an airplane party for my Son's 5th birthday. Please can you tell me where you found the little airplane logo that you used

We just celebrated our son's first birthday and I attempted to suitcase party favors once I saw what you did. Let's just say, they are not quite as good as yours are, but they were a hit to say the least! Thanks for all the great ideas! http://parkens.blogspot.com
