When you name your son Maverick – well, at some point, you need to throw him a “Top Gun” themed party.  You just have to.  So, for Mav’s 2nd birthday we did just that.  No, he has never seen the movie, but he loves airplanes, and birthday cake, so I thought, why not?  And us adults loved the fact that we could get our party jam on with the Top Gun Soundtrack!

      Would you be able to design the items you did for the party for my son? His name is Maverick as well. It’s his 1st birthday.

      This girl doesn’t seem to respond. I ordered a bunch of stuff for my son Mavericks 1st birthday through a girl on etsy. Her name is polkadotpigpaperie. She customized a name banner, time flies banner, cake topper and made the cute signs this lady has. The frames are from ikea. I’m just going to do red and blue plates and you can get dog tags from orientaltrading.com or party city.

      Any chance you would sell the signs as printables?? :)

      Hi everyone! First of all let me say that I am truly so sorry for not responding to the questions – I am not notified that there are questions. I would have to manually come back to my post and keep checking it, which I rarely do, so that I why I haven’t responded. Project Nursery actually just contacted me to let me know there were a bunch of questions.

      I am going to try to answer most of the questions above.
      1. All of the little 4 x 6 red, white and blue frames are from IKEA
      2. Unfortunately I do not do designs or printables for sale.
      3. I just purchased plain cups and plates, then I cut out the airplane or aviators icon out of sticky-back vinyl and applied the “stickers” to the plates, cups, aviators banner, etc. So, these things were DIY, you won’t be able to find this in a store.
      4. I didn’t have actual dog tags, only ones made out of fondant that were on the cake, but I’m sure you could find them on Oriental Trading or a similar website.

      Hope this answers most of the questions. So sorry if this isn’t timely enough for your party.
