Ticket Escort Cards

Ally's Sweet 16 had a Cruise theme, so I suggested making the escort cards into luggage tag shapes. We left the destination blank so that they could fill those in once all of the seating was finalized.

The "stamp" on the right features Ally's initials and her Bat Mitzvah Date. 

These were so much fun to work on -- Congratulations Ally!

Airplane themed 2nd Birthday Invitation

My sweet boy started to obsess about airplanes a few months ago, right around 

when I started planning his second birthday. Here are the invitations 

that I came up with for him.... 

I was torn between doing a traditional flat 5x7 invitation, a boarding pass, 

and a passport. I decided to just go for it with an airplane ticket folder

 and a boarding pass-style invitation. 

The folder:

the Dietrich Airways logo was carried through on all of the stationery:

I love the "2" that the plane makes in the background -- if you look closely, 

you'll see it in the middle of the invitation, too:

One of the many details -- pilot wings for all of the kids, plus ones for hubby and I!

I purchased foam gliders online as a craft for the kids -- everyone had an opportunity to use markers, stickers, or paint (for the older kids) to customize their own glider. Here's the one I made -- after they decorated their glider, they got the pair of wings made with their initial.
