All aboard! So you're going to be having your child's train party and you're not really
sure where to begin. Well, my name is Lori Randall with Simply Devine events and I'm
going to tell you how to throw a train birthday party for your child. The first thing that
you're going to want to do is set your date, and then you're also going to want to come
up with your guest list and decide where you're going to be having your train party. You might
be wanting to have it just at your home. It's probably the best and easiest place to have
it, or if you have like a train museum or something, or like a park that might have
like a little train track or something like that, you might want to think about hosting
your party there as well. And you want to send out your invitations and set the tone
with your invitations doing like a little maybe caboose invitation or all aboard, you
know, so and so is having their birthday party at track number four, which maybe they're
turning four years old, you might be having it at a Randall Station or Randall Railways
basically this is kind of what we did here. Is we came up and did like a little railroad
crossing sign at the front door and then Randall Station track number two, he was turning two
years old, and make some train tracks. You can do this with just construction paper,
make some tracks and kind of setting the tone for the party as they're entering in. When
they get there you could go ahead and hand out a little conductor hat so they can dress
up. Give them maybe a little bandanna to put around their necks and maybe like a train
whistle. You might want to have your child's, their probably already, if they're having
a train party they probably love trains and already have trains, so have the train sets
out, the train tables out so the children can go around and just kind of explore with
the trains. A fun activity you might want to do is having a construction paper like
a train, train engine and they can just go ahead and decorate their train anyway that
they wanted to do it. You can even get wooden trains that are just plain wooden trains and
have some paint out that kids can paint their train that way. Another idea is having your
cake go with your whole theme as well and here we did a train and then we did like a
little carts as well and then the caboose at the end and did the train that way for
the child. A cute idea for favors would be doing little cookies and putting all the guests
initials on there and then you can have the little train baskets to kind of go with your
theme as well. So those are some cute ideas, some cute trips for your train party and I
wish you the best of luck in planning it and happy planning.
