Get ready for takeoff with an airplane party. You're in for a happy landing as an
aviation theme party for kids is just "plane" awesome, but this is a party the adults
can appreciate too! As kids parties go, this will be one they'll never forget. So extend
your arms and fasten your seat-belts, because an airplane birthday party can take
flight for just a few bucks. Consider us your co-pilot for party planning with these
affordable party ideas for kids:
- Make reservations with ETSY.com! ETSY is just the ticket for securing party perfect
boarding pass invitations, decorations and other handmade items, including
airplane party favors and party supplies. Many ETSY sellers offer digital products,
so that with your color printer you can print exactly what you need for your
airplane party. It will save money and really impress guests. Soon you'll be
planning all your kids parties at ETSY!
- Set the stage for a high-flying surprise! Sure, you could have your airplane party
at an aviation museum or at the local airport, but the best venue is right at
home. Kids parties at home are easy on the budget and it's easier than you
think to turn your home into an airport!
- Start by arranging a ticket counter to welcome guests to your plane
party. The greeter can check birthday packages, and direct party goers to
"Gate Five" (or whatever the birthday kid's age). - Be sure the birthday boy wears a flight suit!
- The entrance of your party should have an "Arrivals" sign upon entry and
a "Departures" sign on exit. - Arrange chairs for your party, airplane style with an aisle and a cockpit.
Affix barf bags to the back of each chair with toy surprises for guests to
discover (for example, pilot glasses, a squirt airplane toy or glider). - Have a "flight attendant" sibling provide airline snacks, such as a bag of
peanuts, chips or pretzels. The flight attendant can bring party goers
drinks using a teacart. - Load up "Airplanes" a video on demand movie, available on Amazon for
just $4. - Invite kids one by one to the "cockpit" to play computer games. Kids can
play the Nintendo Wii Wing Island game, right. - Take off for the fun can officially begin when all the guests board the
plane. Kids parties are ideal for family involvement. Use a megaphone as a
loudspeaker to announce, "This is Captain Daddy, and we're glad to have
you on this birthday flight. We'll be flying five miles above ground and
slowing down to 500 hundred miles an hour. My co-pilot, Tyler, would like
to welcome you to his party." Go on to explain the exits to the backyard
fun. Complete the airplane experience with a baggage claim area upon
departure for the favors! Siblings can be flight attendants.
- Go buy the book! The Klutz book of Paper Airplanes gets high reviews! You'll
have fun folding a single sheet of paper into a high-performance flying paper
machine. This book comes with clear instructions for folding 10 impressive kid do-
able planes and 40 sheets of custom-designed paper. As a craft activity, this
book will make an invaluable resource, or use it to make planes for a ceiling
decoration.
- Send the kids to airplane university! The Ten Paper Airplanes Web site gives easy
and animated instructions on how to make paper airplanes. Our favorite is the
auto-gyro Spinster paper airplane. It's "spin-sational," though it has a short
flight plan. Foam flyers and gliders are fun too. The red foam flyer, left, would
make an unusual craft activity. Kids build a red and white biplane that's three
dimensional. Let their imaginatios soar as they pretend to be pilots or the Red
Baron himself.
- Pack your bags! Packing the party favor bags for a kids party can be one of the
most satisfying parts of party planning. As kids parties go, favors are important,
and the little jet setters will love the creative favor bags you create for an
airplane party whether you make your own or assemble a little luggage bag of
goodies. Here are some ideas that will send you soaring:
- Just plane fun. Make origami airplanes from dollar bills. The birthday boy
can help.
- Captain duck. Everyone will quack up with the airline series of rubber
duckies, pictured right, including an airline pilot, a fighter pilot and more.
The kids will love them.
- A favor on the fly. Make candy airplane favors with one or two pieces of
wrapped stick gum for the wings, a candy, such as Haribo Roulettes
gummy candy for the body with propeller and tail, plus two unwrapped
Lifesaver candies for the wheels. It's super easy to tie the wings with a
rubber band. For a twins birthday party, be sure to use DoubleMint gum
for the wings!
- Plainly obvious. You may find a few airplane party favors at the local party
supply store, such as airplane squirt toys or gliders, but for the really fun
stuff search online. Here are some unusual party favors available online:
