airplane baby shower

the paper airplane baby shower invitations I made for my sister's airplane themed baby shower (my brother-in-law, the daddy-to-be, is a fighter pilot)

I lOVE the par avion (air mail) style and I'm so pleased with how these turned out!!!

Welcome to my sister's airplane themed baby shower!

I played off of the par avion color scheme and pattern throughout the decorations and clouds were a must of couse!

I just had to throw the fighter pilot, daddy-to-be's F18 hornet into the mix here and there even though it is a bit wicked looking for a baby shower.

I matte framed the invitation in red and bordered it with airmail tape and twine.

Guests' favor bags (or shall I say, complementary, in-flight snacks) were filled with honey wheat pretzel twists and honey roasted peanuts as a nod to the good old days when such airline treats were free.

My favorite part! I hung WW II fighter gliders and puffy clouds from the light fixtures and topped them off with 2 shades of pale blue tulle to give off the sky effect.

I was so pleased with how my clouds turned out - so fluffy!

I LOVE these awesome airplane cake toppers I found online, especially since one of them was an F18 fighter jet!!

This sign designated the beverage area. I LOVE these straws that I came upon! They have the same look as the paper ones that are so big right now, but they're hard plastic, so you don't end up guzzling down soggy paper chunks - yuck!

paper airplane garland here there and everywhere!

some personalized onesies I made for my first little nephew's arrival - "nugget" refers to the first timers on an aircraft carrier (where my brother-in-law is currently deployed) and "sausage" refers to the daddy-to-be's fighter pilot call sign.

These prop plane clothes pins were another great online find and were a quick and easy craft project for me!
