Mikey's Vintage Airplane Christening

See, with all those holidays, it felt odd to post 

all these fun non-holiday parties & designs I have been working on.

Now that we've got a clean slate,
I've got PLENTY 

in store for you.

First up, MIKEY!

My friend Effie contacted me to help her make

some invitations for her son's christening.

This girl knows how to throw a party
so to say I was excited to be a part of it,
would be a very large understatement.

She knew she wanted a vintage air/travel theme
and she was loving the vintage airmail stripe.
We played around with a few designs
until we ultimately ended up with this bad boy:




 

 

I mean, so cute, right!?

Effie's in New York so she took it from there, 

but was nice enough to send us all some pictures

of the event.

Here's what she had to say,

"Michael's Christening was a major hit especially the invitations! 

I kept to the vintage airplane/travel theme throughout the reception"

"The seating cards, located on a table labeled Check-In, 

were 'In-Flight Snacks' -  Peanut Bags with a Kraft luggage Tag with seating info."

 

 

"The Favors were located on a Baggage Claim Table 

and were glitter propeller plane ornaments. 

I baked airplane cookies and 

had chocolate airplane lollipops made to go along with the favors!"

 

 

 

 

 

"The Cake was a vintage suitcase 

with a fondant airplane 

which was designed to compliment the gorgeous invitation ;)"

 

" I made the centerpieces with vintage propeller planes 
with a canvas flag personalized with Michael's name and baptismal date. 
The airplanes were resting on Aviation and Map  
boxes made to look like old books."




 

"I also made the banner with Michael's name 

and airplanes painted on canvas flags"

 

  

 

" I had (his) christening shoes bedazzled with his initials 

because I couldn't resist a little sparkle...even if he is a boy!" 

 

 

 "I added a picture of Mike and I with the baby 
and Yankees player Mariano Rivera 
who happened to be at my dads restaurant and took pics with the entire party!" 



"My goal was for the party to have a classic and vintage feel with playful touches" 

I'd say she achieved her goal, right?
CHEERS to little Mikey, and his fabulous mama!

 

Love the invitation so much you want to plan a party around it too?

How perfect for you, they just got added to the shop
