Vintage Airplane Birthday

I can’t believe how much time has flown by as I am reminiscing about his past parties while I plan for his 5th birthday! This party was a little tedious as it took a lot of time to hand fold over hundred airplanes and hand sewing each of the clouds, but loved each and every moment of planning it!

The details:

  • DIY paper airplanes
  • DIY Clouds & Airplane Photo Booth Backdrop
  • DIY airplane straws
  • DIY airplane water bottle decor
  • DIY airplane favor bags
  • DIY balloon fringe
