If your child has a love of airplanes, why not make that the central theme of the party? There are many inexpensive ways of putting airplanes on many of your party decorations.
The Invitations
A party begins by sending out invitations. Your child’s invites can be decorated with vintage airplanes. You can have a clever saying on the front such as “the first year flew by”. There are also many other exciting ideas you can incorporate into your airplane party invitations.
Decoration Tutorials
If your child has any toys that resemble airplanes, now is the time to dig them out to create a table centerpiece. You can use basic polyfill craft stuffing to create clouds around the plane.
This can be setup on a backdrop of a blue tablecloth. You could place a small toy airplane on the top of each plate. Many parents want to stay away from a branded or copyrighted birthday party theme, so choosing a more generic theme such as an airplane birthday party can be fun, yet still be the perfect backdrop to airplane birthday party ideas.
Games/Activities
Children can also create airplane birthday crafts. Just some of the ideas could include making their own folded airplane from construction paper. This could also be turned into a game to see whose plane can fly the farthest.
Kids of all ages can have fun with an airplane birthday party theme. Set up your party room with airplane decorations, crafts, and games, and soon the children will be taking off and having fun.
The Food
You can print out some airplanes from Images you find online, then hot glue gun them to the tops of toothpicks. These picks can be inserted into small sandwiches that have been cut into triangles.
A cake in the shape of an airplane, or even decorated with the image of an airplane, is also an essential component to having an airplane birthday party.
Party Favors
Party favors can be given out after the party. You can find some DIY party favors for a vintage airplane party online. You can also purchase them. Don’t forget to put a thank you tag on each favor!
Sending Out Thank Yous
Thank you cards can be sent any time after the birthday party. I always recommend sending out photo thank you cards as it is a great keepsake for your guests of your little ones special first birthday!
