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.

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.
