Kid Party Theme: Trains

Who loves a party more than kids? Kid birthday parties are the original dinner parties! For the train enthusiast in your life, here are a few fun finds that will bring a theme together. I like to avoid too much matchy-matchy, even for kids, to make the party feel a bit more unique, and offer opportunities to include pieces I already own. We’ll explore kid party themes now and then–drop your requests in the comments! Hope your little railroad conductor enjoys!

• Train Conductor Hat Party Favors: how cute will your group photos be? Hand these out to guests when they arrive, and maybe personalize them with names. Add a red bandana, instant fun for all.
• Train Whistles: maybe save these for the goodie bags 🙂
• All Aboard Decorative Train Signs: pop these on your dessert table, buffet, front door, or make a cute banner for your mantle. Set of 20 for $16!
• Train Straw Party Favors: who doesn’t love a silly straw?
• Silver Bucket: this is the type of multipurpose item you’ll use for so many themes. I’d use this for cutlery, games and more. Set of 6 for $15
• Ride on Thomas the Tank Engine: if your guests are patient enough to take turns, this is a huge hit. And, a special gift for the birthday kid!
• Railroad Paper Goods: something a little different but right on theme. Very official!
• Red Checker Tablecloth: a classic pattern you’ll use over and over again, and adds some color to your event.
• Wicker Storage Bins: another multipurpose item. Use these to add texture to your buffet or dining table as storage for those cute paper plates, or your conductor hats.
• Train Goodie Bags: 24 for $10!
