My boys are 3 and 4 years old so when the first Disney Planes movie came out last year they were obsessed, my oldest especially! When his birthday rolled around this year I just knew I had to throw him a party featuring his favorite character from the movie, Dusty!
The sequel Disney Planes Fire and Rescue flies into theaters on July 18th and I can’t wait to take them to see all the new adventures that Dusty will encounter. There’s a pretty good chance that he’ll be requesting another Dusty birthday party next year and I wouldn’t mind that at all since this party was so much fun to put together.
I bought a few of the commercial products: balloons, a table cover, stickers and foam Dusty Planes for the favors and then I expanded on that using batting for clouds and lots of cut out plane shapes. For the party favors I took small cardboard gift boxes and dressed them up to look like suitcases. After valentines day I found a couple Dusty card holders that I built and used for the balloon weights.
For food I had a simple menu with deli sandwiches from the grocery store and some delicious side dishes. I bought and painted a microwave cart I found at Goodwill to turn into a beverage station and the dessert table looked like the cupcakes and cookies were floating on clouds. All in all this party turned out super cute and the kids had a great time!
