Selected as Party of the Day on February 28th!
Train Birthday
ByParty Recap
www.InvitationCelebration.com
My son's passion for trains made this an easy choice on his 3rd birthday party theme! I chose turquoise, orange and brown as colors to give it more of a vintage feel. I designed the train ticket invitations & banner myself (which are available in my Etsy shop!) as well as the food train.
