Train theme party ideas and inspiration

Happy Monday! (not!) Mondays have gotten harder as my sleep has gotten worse -ew! oh well, it's almost over! What did you get into this weekend? We did some resale shopping for our little boy (due May 26th) and some organizing. 

Now that we know we are having a boy, I am thinking boy themes a lot! Trains are always a great one.  Don't forget about older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a train theme here (link)

Setup a fun table using a sky backdrop and containers filled with snacks to make a train!  To create different heights, look around the house for boxes and other household items you can cover with green wrapping paper.  Source

If you have a train set, set that up and use it to display your cupcakes! Source

Set up some great fun with large boxes (ask your local businesses if you can gave them before they toss them!) creating a train! Have the kids sit in for an outdoor movie or singing songs, etc.  Source

For your favors, create these candy trains! Source 










 
 

Train Party Theme!

One of my happiest memories is riding on a train through from Spain to Lisbon, Portugal - it was so beautiful! and the best sleep (it was a sleeper train) I think I ever had!

Trains are a great boy's party theme... here are some ways to frost your next one!

I love how this food train! I love how she transformed the containers into train cars! And check out that caboose! so cute! Source

How clever are these sandwich trains?!? I love the brocolli and cauliflower scenery too! So genius! Source

Another way to do the tablescape is to combine metal tins to act as your train - I love the felt train track on the table too! Source

You have to add railroad crossing signs! Put some at the front door, and each doorway too! Make sure to include conductor hats for everyone too wear, too! Source

Add a simple, yet fantastic touch by using black electrical tape to create railroad tracks on the floor!  Source

Ending on a sweet note... make simple cupcakes, add chocolate railroad tracks and put little plastic trains (click here for ones that are whistles!) on top! Easy enough for any level of baker ;o)  Source
