Paper Airplane First Birthday //

 
 
From a baby to now a toddler, time flies! No kidding! It really does.. and we ask ourselves, where did all that time go? We see it especially in the lives of our children as they reach their first milestones.
Born August 13, 2012 >>> Ethan Oliver came into our world and it became more colorful, more fun and precious all the more. What a great miracle he is. Ethan wakes up with a smile on his face every single day. He's such a little cuddle bug. He adores to be held and played with. Just give him a little attention and he will melt in your eyes. My baby, we wish you a new & exciting year ahead as you transition into a season of exploring & discovering. May our Lord guide in your every step and protect you. We love you! Happy first Birthday little E!!

About his party //
I really fell in love with paper airplanes, so my inspiration came from there alone. I wanted white and only one type of fold. I did a little research and put my creativity and this party came together in no time! It was a great success! With family & friends gathered in our very own backyard on a warm summer day we celebrated Ethan with love and adoration!

Hi!

I just found your blog through pinterest. I'm also doing a paper airplane theme birthday for my son. You did such a beautiful job! I love all the details, so so sweet! I was wondering if you could tell me which paper airplane template you ended up using? I haven't been able to find one similar and I love how yours turned out! Thanks so much for your help. Amazing work, time sure does fly:)!

Would also love to know how you how you folded these airplanes! Doing a similar theme for my son's upcoming 1st birthday and these are the cutest! Love all the little details you incorporated :)

I am curious, like the others how 1. You folded the planes (I've tried many folds and can't figure this one out) 2. Stuck them to the wall. I would LOVE to know how! I have an airplane them in my son's room and was thinking of doing this for one of the walls. Thank you!

Hello! I'd also like to know how the airplanes were folded. This is an adorable party!

Hello! This is exactly what I’m planning to do in my kids’ travel themed room. Like others, I was hoping you have directions for this type of paper plane, as well as how you kept them up? Thanks!
