An airplane party is a a great theme for little budding travellers. It’s a fun theme that can be filled with suitcases, globes and of course snacks!

Whether you are on a budget or looking to travel first class, there is something to suit your needs with this theme.

Airplane Party Decoration Ideas

All good parties start with having a party backdrop. There are many ways that a backdrop can be created for an airplane party. Ideas include:

  • Creating a backdrop with various shades of blue plastic tablecloth’s to represent the sky. At the top of the backdrop, place a few fluffy white clouds made out of card and cotton wool.
  • Have a large world map as a focal point.
  • Create a sky scene with clouds, and various planes hanging down.

Other great ways of providing simple decoration are:

  • Have suitcases piled up to act as decoration but can also be used to display food items.
  • Hand airplanes around the party area along with clouds made out of cotton balls.
  • Create some boarding passes to give kids as they arrive.
  • Balloons or tissue paper pom poms in your chosen color scheme are always a good option to fill in space and provide some easy bold color.
  • Create some plastic tablecloth decorations in your color scheme. These are great to use as banners, garlands and tassels.

For an airplane party that is bright and breezy, this one is it. I love the table runway and the model planes.

Each of the kids were given a small wooden airplane for them to assemble which is a great party activity and helps them get into the party spirit.
