2nd Birthday - Airplane Party

I kept this party a bit more simple than the 1st Birthday.  I don't plan to make a big deal out of all his birthdays... plus I am 34 weeks pregnant!  The airplane theme was pretty fitting for this little guy.  He loves airplanes and anything transportation related.  His first (toddler style) sentence was "Airplane up high!"

I put together box lunches for everyone that were ready to go in advance.  It included a small JJ's sub, pasta salad, fruit, pretzels, and a cookie.  Very much like you might receive on an airplane... back when they gave lunches on an airplane :)

 Drinks were just lemonade and water in these adorable containers which are an affordable knock off of the containers I really covet.

I  ordered cupcakes instead of making somthing this year (ahhemmm... 34 weeks, people).  I did design and print the cute little toppers myself though.

 

I "decorated" (if you can even call it that) with some airline magazines, skymall, and pretzels/peanuts that Joe had collected the last few months.  I threw in a few balloons as well... which Kamden was beyond excited about.

Created a little game for some of the kids to play.  They threw little cheap-o foam airplanes to try to get through the holes.

 He loved the singing part.  We had to do it twice :)

Baggage Claim (aka goodie bags) for the kids included little airplane coloring books I printed myself, crayons, a few more of the foam airplanes, and peanuts/m&ms snacks.

I found some inspiration from online resources for the invite... I love how it turned out!
