Colour your party: Black and White

Black and white – two colours which work well with so many others – so put them together and it’s a winning combination.

Add in a 3rd colour if you wish, anything goes with these two.

So here is some inspiration for any black and white celebrations you are planning!

Are you planning a party with this colour scheme? What theme will it be?

I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

Carousel Party

A classic childhood experience is enjoying the merry go round and this Carousel party captures the fun and magic of this as well as the beauty of a gorgeous carousel! Pastel colours, carousel horses and florals can all make for a beautiful setting! This theme could stand on its own or you could incorporate aspects of the carousel theme into a Carnival/Fair or Circus theme as well (have a look at one of my very early blog posts on a Circus theme). It is truly a sweet and unique theme for a little girl!

Invitations/Printables

A few gorgeous invitations (which are often part of a matching set with other items) and as you can see a variety of colour combinations work well for this theme:

Decorations

Carousels often combine beautiful colours, florals and lights. Recreate this with some of these decorative options:

 

 

A pretty bunting would look perfect for this party theme:

Wall decals can really help create an effect and setting for your theme. Here are some beautiful ones for this theme which also is such a gorgeous theme for a girls bedroom as well, so you could definitely reuse them!

This lovely carousel horse is available in a range of colours!

Tableware

For your table, combine pretty colours and patterns for your Carousel setting. Stripes work well for a carousel/fair theme or you could work florals into your table decor as well:

 

 

 

Classic soda bottles are perfect for the feeling of being at the fair!

Combine your drinking bottles with a striking colour paper straw! These striped paper straws could also be made into a creative decoration as they are similar to the poles on a carousel. You could attach a carousel horse cut out to them for a cute touch such as the one I’ve shown below!

Isn’t this gorgeous? Perfect for straws, cake pop sticks or just to use as a decoration!

 

Sweet Treats

A few items for your carousel theme sweets:

You can’t have a fair without fairy floss and this soft persian fairy floss is so pretty:

For something different, serve the fairy floss (or other sweets) in these colourful icecream cups. The colourful stripes are perfect for this pretty carousel at the fair theme:

If you are going for a classic carnival look then these pink and white striped options will look great:

I was in awe when I saw this find….a ferris wheel cupcake holder! Could anything be more delightful? It is just gorgeous and it can be shipped to Australia. *Swoon*!

 

This is a simpler version for your candy:

 

Special themed ideas

What is wonderful about a Carousel theme party is that any special item you purchase will look wonderful in your daughters room afterwards. Remember for a theme, you may just need one or two stand out items which really bring the theme to life. You can then carry on the theme in smaller details. Work within your budget and go for items you can reuse or display again in your child’s room.

Hiring is another great option for stand out features to match your theme and this amazing Carousel horse is a gorgeous example of that!  It can be hired out and would be a great photo spot too during the party!

A lovely carousel will not only make a beautiful centrepiece at the party table but also a precious gift for your little girl as well:

 

This beautiful music box would make another stunning gift or centrepiece:

I know rocking horses are different to Carousel horses but these two items are so pretty and could definitely work into this theme as well!

Pick a sweet print to display behind your cake table or around another main item in your party area to carry on the Carousel theme:

 

 

Place a gorgeous welcome sign to welcome everyone to the party:

 

These carousel horse items could be used to create some of your own decorations or embellishments to attach to party favours:

Love the colour of these sweet pink carnival tickets which could be attached to party favours or given to the children to use for party games or perhaps you could come up with a creative way to use them as a hanging decoration?

Sweet little horses you could use to hold labels for your food table:

 

Cute tin toy for your little girl and as a decoration especially for a vintage style party:

This gorgeous pony is beautiful isn’t it? It would make a lovely gift, keepsake and decoration item for this theme:

Have your little one dressed for the theme in these items!

Oopsidaisi makes just gorgeous items! Keep an eye out on their page for new releases of items featuring their carousel design:

I just had to mention Vintage Sew and So who makes stunning creations such as this canopy used by Boutique Affairs on this dessert table. You could contact them if you were after a carousel looking canopy for over your dessert table:

Another option is the use of a playtent such as this one to decorate the area around your dessert table or another space in your party area. Your little one will love it for many months and years after the party!

 

Take Home Gifts    

These lovely Carousel theme gifts will be surely treasured by the little party guests!

 

 

Sweet windmills and ribbon wands carry on the fun of the fair:

For your sweet favours how gorgeous are these carousel favour bags?

These would also work in well with the party decor with a cute tag attached:

Finish off your packaging with some striped ribbon, pretty lace tape or this fun carousel tape!

Real Parties

I really could not find many specific Carousel theme parties online which shows what a unique theme this is. However you must have a look at this amazing party by Sharnel Dollar Designs which is based around Mary Poppins and has lots of gorgeous Carousel features!

_________________________________________________________________________

As you can see, this is a sweet theme and there is so much you can do with it! It really creates that magical childhood feeling and because of this makes for a memorable birthday theme to celebrate your little one!

 

Aeroplane Theme

‘Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away….’! This sweet Aeroplane theme is so cute and perfect for little boys!

Let images of planes (vintage or modern), clouds, pilots, wings, airports, luggage & travel inspire you!

You could use a blue/white/red colour palette however I love some recent Aeroplane parties (see the end of this post) which have used the unique colour scheme of blue/white/orange and so I’ve incorporated some of my choices around this selection. However some of our previous posts such as the Nautical Theme & Fire engine theme have cute ideas for red decor.

You can have a lot of fun with this theme with the use of boarding passes, a luggage claim area (where the kids can collect their meal boxes or party favours), paper aeroplane making activities and more! I hope this collection below inspires your ideas and sets you on a fun journey of planning for this theme.

Invitations & Printables

To launch this post, here are a few printables and invitation collections which I thought were really cute for this theme:

 

 

 

 

A vibrant vintage invitation which is really unique!

These cute airplane printables can be used for lots of different items at the party and I love the boarding pass invitation!

 

Hanging Decorations

The Aeroplane theme is perfect for hanging decorations of clouds and flying planes and you can really be creative in creating a sky effect which you can then transfer into the bedroom/nursery after the party for a cute style:

This cloud and plane paper garland is too sweet for words!

 

Buntings always look great at parties and here are a few lovely options which would work for this theme:

 

 

 

 

I’ve featured this delightful cloud mobile (which comes in various colour raindrops) in my Nautical theme post as it can be worked in for a few different themes and would look great in creating a cool sky effect!

I also love this unique paper cloud balloon! It would look fantastic suspended with some clear string:

Another great effect could be created using these colourful Aeroplane mobiles above your dessert/cake table!

 

Wall motifs and stickers continue to be a unique decoration which can be moved into the bedroom after the party:

 

 

 

Tissue pom pom’s would be ideal for a cloud effect. You could bunch them together to create cloud clusters or spread them out throughout the room for a gorgeous cloud scene. The best thing is – they are white so they could be reused many times over for different themes!

Hang a bunch of these blue paper fans together for a blue sky backdrop that you could then mix the white pom pom’s into as well!

To incorporate balloons into this theme, these blue and white polka dot GIANT balloons would look sensational in the party area!

 

Table Decor

Your table decor can be worked around the colour scheme you have chosen, but here are a few different options to have your party table flying high!

 

 

These chalkboard placemats could be used in the centre of the table to create a tarmac centrepiece! You could draw runway lines onto the placemat and place some toy planes on them for a great look!

Another unique way of dressing the table is this fun world map tablecloth to connect the idea of travelling into your plane theme!

Some colourful tableware choices which we are sure will make the food taste even nicer!

 

 

 

 

If you are incorporating orange into your colour scheme then these stripy straws look fantastic in this colour!

A cute alternative to the milk bottle is the use of small glass milk carton’s! They are so fun and different and I am sure all the kids will love drinking out of them!

 Sweet Treats

A nice cupcake wrapper can instantly dress up the simplest of cupcakes! Here a few choices which could work for you:

 

Blue and orange look so great together don’t they?

These pom pom cupcake toppers are adorable! They look like little mini fluffy clouds – just perfect for this party!

Also loving these cupcake toppers with a cute design and colour scheme:

It’s easy to have Aeroplane theme cookies using these cutters!

For your main cake, these blue details will ensure it takes centre stage on your table!

 

 

Special Themed Decorations/Ideas:

Your little boy may have some cute toy aeroplanes you can use to help decorate the party table/area however if not, or if you want some more, here are some really lovely choices which will be great for the Birthday boy to keep and play with after the party too!

 

 

 

These vintage planes would really stand out wouldn’t they? Just lovely!

 

Now for a few other unique items which may be useful for this theme. If I had a boy I wouldn’t be able to resist this cute pilot hat! It is just gorgeous and would make a great beanie too in winter months!

These pilot accessories are great for decoration or for your little one to wear:

 

An aeroplane theme compliments a travel decorations/items as well, and these unique notebooks could be used for the little one’s to obtain stamps  during the party (for example when they they complete a party game). If you wanted you could even have different  “Country” stations set up at each game area, so they are “flying” to different countries for each game and receive their stamp on arrival! These notebooks would also make great party favours too!

Cardboard suitcases are great to be used for decoration for this theme or as a way of displaying your tableware for the kid’s to collect (cutlery, plates etc), or to display your other unique items such as the above notebooks! They work as fantastic storage for after the party too!

You could decorate the suitcases (or other items for your party) using these cute plane and travel stickers:

 

How lovely is this globe (and not as pricey as it may look)! It would make a unique decoration for this theme and an educational toy for your little boy for later on too!

For a personal touch this stamp with a vintage plane means you can personalise a range of items for your party! Your little one is sure to love this and it could be used to label all sorts of items for him in the future too!

It’s great to have a hands on activity at a party and these kits to create your own planes/gliders are sure to keep the little one’s busy. You could also have your little boy work on this before the party and then use the plane as a decoration for a personalised  touch!

 

 

Love the vintage look of this Aeroplane carousel which would be a unique table decoration and look lovely as room decor as well:

Another centrepiece idea which would make a fun toy as well is this toy airport! Really liking the wooden look!

 

Take Home Gift

All the little one’s at the party are sure to be in love with aeroplanes by the end of this party! So here are a few cute ideas for take home gifts for them:

 

 

 

 

 

To package these items or some sweet treats there are lots of cute options for this theme! First off are these fantastic luggage favour boxes! They would look so good all packaged up and ready for the kids to take home!

Another adorable option are these unique milk carton favour boxes which match with the invites/printables shown at the start of this post. The clouds look so sweet and the personal touch of the name is a really nice extra!

To go along with the travel theme are these cute mailbox favours ! If you have travel related crafts at the party ( eg. creating a postcard or drawing on some letter paper) the kids could take these home along with this favour box:

These suitcase favour tins could also be used for some unique decorations too! You could even stick your food labels onto them and place them on your table!

Also loving these other cute options which you could embellish with ribbons, tags, mini pegs or stickers.

Gingham is such a sweet pattern which we don’t see enough of in partyware even though it looks so lovely here in blue and white!

You can never go wrong with polka dots. They always look good!

A touch of orange if you are working this into your colour scheme:

This carry box could also be dressed up to look like a suitcase, which makes it another great option for this theme!

Can’t go past these luggage tags to top off your favour packaging! They could also be used to label your food or as an embellishment on your drink bottles too:

This airmail twine really compliments the Aeroplane theme and would finish off your packaging nicely:

Or to bring in a touch of orange, this vibrant ribbon would do the trick!

And finally some special items for the Birthday boy! I love that these ride on planes are wooden – they have a really unique feel about them and would make an extra special gift for your little man!
