vintage railroad train party

This vintage railroad train party by Kelly of kellyallison photography has got to be the most inspiring train party we have seen. So many amazing details!

The calendar at the bottom of the invite acts as a train ticket, with the date of the party punched for reference...

Guests are greeted with engineer caps and neckerchiefs upon arrival, setting the stage for their train journey...

A vintage Fischer Price train delivers veggies & hummus to the table with the help of paper cup cargo cars...

Pb&j sandwiches are cut to look like train engines and passenger cars...

Mini hotdogs are served chicago-style with mustard and a pickle spear nestled inside, what else?, but a flattened striped cupcake liner. Condiments are served in striped candy cups...

Juice boxes are served in muslin sacks (DIY design created from iron-on inkjet paper). And, did you know that vintage style paper straws fit perfectly in standard juice boxes? Much cuter than the plastic version...

Popcorn, chips and pretzels served in white paper cones, much like what you'd be able to buy from old station vending carts...

Yogurt parfaits with granola and blueberries look great when served in mini jam jars. The lids are topped with a square of burlap, and a wooden spoon is secured with bakers twine. To add a bit of color and continue your theme, decorate cutlery with washi tape on the handle!...

Cupcakes served in a vintage suitcase are baked in striped candy cups, and topped with marzipan R/R crossing signs...

Clear red striped loot bags are adorned with DIY labels...

old west inspired cowboy party

Kelly Allison, of kellyallison photography, concepted, styled, and photographed this old west inspired cowboy party for her son Wyatt. Appropriate cowboy breakfast grub included sausage biscuits, cheesy gritz, donuts on a stick, trail mix, and steer head cupcakes. For the parents, cowboy coffee and cactus punch {mimosas}. Each guest received a complete cowboy get-up including mom-made riding ponies, cowboy hats, bandanas, sheriff’s badges, and mustaches. To help capture the moment, a western themed photo booth was set up for guests to use. Games and activities included a cowboy-themed coloring table, pin the mustache on the cowboy, and a cowboy boot pinata. Muslin bags were silk-screen printed with western designs for both the juice box covers, and the loot bags...
