Sneak Peek at Jude's Vintage Train Birthday Party

As most of my friends know I LOVE birthday parties and I especially love planning them. I start months in advance and typically drive my family crazy with the small little details.

Both my kids birthday's are in May. So planning two big parties has been hard, but this year my daughter decided to have her birthday at the American Girl store so I don't need to do much planning for that, which means I can focus and go all out on my son Jude's 3rd birthday.

Here is a sneak peek at his Vintage Train themed party decorations.

CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD!

All the photos taken were by my good friend Jenner Rose Photography

This suit case I purchased from Land of Nod. I painted the inside and then added wooden letters that I decorated with a train scrapbook kit. It will hold all the plates and napkins at the party.

Got all my triangles cut for the pennant banner


Finished Pennant Banner.

  3. Hi Jessica,

    I purchased the lionell train scrapbook kit and made the banner
    Myself. I should do step by step instructions.

    Thanks
