Do you have a little one who loves planes? This airplane party theme will have them ready for take off!
Amy Atlas recently hosted an airplane themed birthday party for her son- and of course, every detail was perfect. Check out some of the images and airplane party ideas.
(My son has already had a train birthday party "chugga chugga two two" and a modern racecar birthday so I'm thinking a plane party just might be in our future!)
Simple Details For An Airplane Party Theme
The Table: Create a "runway" table using a solid color table cloth or paper roll, and some white tape (or paint). It acts like a focal point and is so easy and inexpensive to make.
The Place Settings: Paper placemats and paper napkin rings allow you to match your party colors! Remember, when I showed you how to use scrapbook paper to make place settings?
The Desserts: Splurge on some cute custom cookies or cupcake toppers to pull your airplane party theme together.
These cupcakes are adorable! I like to order custom toppers but put them on top of store bought cupcakes (I like to keep things as easy as possible!). You can see I did this for this boho sweet 16 party, this birthday breakfast party, and many more parties I've shared over the years!

I absolutely love this theme, my son is a big fan of air planes. I want to do an air plane birthday party for his 3rd bday, his bday is in June and I was wondering if you could tell me where to get a majority of the decorations and stuff for it. thank you so much
