Happy Birthday Tyler! Here are a few pictures from the party. I tried to stick to a vintage train theme using blue, red, and white. I made almost all of the decorations and accessories. Luckily I didn't do everything the last minute, so it didn't seem so bad.
The Banner in the Dining Room
Happy-2nd-Birthday-Tyler
Drinks: Water bottle labels:
Chug-a-Chug-Choo
Tyler is 2!
I made these on using Microsoft Word and then printed them on regular computer paper.
We attached them using packing tape.
Thank you for coming! A train full of goodies as favors.
Favor bags, shortbread cookies, bubbles, and a train song CD.
Welcome to the party!! We had "train tracks" leading up to the front door.
We used black duct tape and electrical tape.
I made blue circle railroad crossing signs to decorate the yard.
We bought tall stakes from Lowes and we glued the signs to them.
We also decorated the walk way with red and blue blue balloons.
I attached them to golf tees and stuck them into the ground.
On the garage I made two banners.
One said: All Aboard and then other had pictures of a train.
I also made three train crossing signs to go in-between garage doors.
Bean bag toss train station
The children could pick from red or blue (handmade/sewn) bandanna bean bags.
They needed to toss them into the train.
Decorate the Train:
We ordered a 6 foot cardboard train online.
The kids had fun playing inside the train and
decorating it with crayons, markers, and chalk.
Train Table
We brought the train table around for the children to play with.
Train Rides
The children were able to go for a ride on the trackless train we rented.
It drove the students down and around our street.
We used stakes and red plastic table cloth to make a "barrier" in front of the side walk. I wanted to make sure that kids didn't just run onto the side walk while the train was driving. This also helped us keep an on the the kids a little better. :)

One of the tables we had set up in the back yard.
The Food
Cheese and Crackers, Fruit, Pasta Salad, Strawberry-Spinach Salad, Pirates Booty, and Pulled Chicken.
The Cake
The top was Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream and the bottom was Vanilla with Strawberry Buttercream in the middle and Vanilla on the outside. I used different colored fondant to make the train, cross bars, and lines.
The Beverages
We decided to offer just water and juice boxes.
It was better to keep it simple.
The cookies:
These were the different shortbread cookies that the children
we able to choose from as part of their goodie bag.
The Bubbles
The Train CD
I made Custom CD labels for the Disney Choo-Choo Train Mix.
Color a train or Train Whistle Station
Each child was also able to take home his/her train whistle.
The train ride. This was the biggest hit!!
A view of the house from the street.
Inside I continued the theme.
I decorated the two columns in the dining room like railroad crossing.
We also had tacks inside leading to the dining room.
This was made with electrical tape because was scared
the duct tape with leave too much residue on the title.
We had stuff a great time! I'll add some pictures of the party soon!
