All Aboard for a Train Party

I really enjoyed organising this party.  To see our boys faces when they arrived at the miniature railway all dressed up in their railway workers outfits was priceless.

 

I chose red and black as the theme for my twin boys birthday party.


Red and black balloons were punched out of paper then were scattered on the table.  The cutlery was wrapped in a black napkin then tied with twine. You can just make out a black box under the rectangular red dish.  I painted the tops of cardboard boxes and used them to elevate platters. Giving the table a little more height.


Two holes were punched on the right hand side of the lolly bag labels to hold a balloon.  That way every child left the party with a balloon.

Train cut outs from black cardstock adorned my cupcake stand.  The silhouette image was found on the internet. 

There were cupcakes with liquorice tracks and others with stars in the midnight sky.

This mini birthday cake banner was made to match the life size one I made for the party.  A little twine and skewers was all that was needed to finish the mini banner off.

I was inspired by other sites for the train cake and colour scheme but the mountain cake and mini banner was an experiment by me. 

Happy 3rd Birthday boys!
