I recently took my boys to attend a “Choo Choo Train” themed birthday party for one of our neighborhood friend’s who turned 2! I’m sure this is a popular young boys theme for a birthday, and this one did not disappoint. One of the things that really impressed me is how Johnny’s Mom turned a highrise “community club room,” into a virtual indoor party-play space for the youngin’s! She brought in a variety of train-related toys and created (train) stations for the different play areas…how clever. And — they were suitable for different baby stages from infants to active pre-schoolers!!

All the decor was in fun red, white and blue and I’m sure you can find printable packages on sites like Etsy and so forth, to customize party invitations, signs, etc…

She hung a couple personalized birthday banners, which I love, I think they add so much to any birthday or party event.

There were also cupcakes in addition to the main cake! The train-themed cupcakes were wrapped in decor coordinating holders  with cute toothpick designs inserted with train images, “2’s” and the letter “J” for the birthday boy!

A colorful “favor” table was also set up. I thought it was a great idea to personalize and label each “train luggage” with the child guest’s name…and there was also a bowl full of chocolate lollipops in the shape of a “2,” with a theme-train on it as well.

A great time was had by all and kudos to the birthday boy and Mommy for inviting us on a super fun “train” ride!
