The Little Engine That Could Birthday Party

A Project For: Elias
Age: 3
Location: NJ
Description: My son's biggest passion right now is trains.Trains of all types, sizes, and of course, all of the sounds that come along with them! I was inspired to do a Little Engine That Could theme because I really wanted the party to be personal - while incorporating his love of trains. Lately I've been noticing him say "I can't", A LOT so I hoped this could also be an educational opportunity too get him saying "I can" and understanding he could do many things. Leading up to the party we read the book regularly + afterwards - I transitioned most of the party decor into his room to continue to remind him that he could.
Design Inspiration:
The Little Engine That Could book + my son. A huge thank you to all of the amazing vendors who helped make this party perfect! - Event Design + Concept: The Petite Soiree - Photography: Dexter Kyle Photography
- Custom Stationary: Cake Ink

- Cake: Mary's Cakes
- Cake Pops: Entirely Sweet
- Cookies: Sugar + Flour
- Damsel Outfit + Bonnet: Lullaby Birds
Decorating Style:
I would say Im eclectic, modern, vintage, whimsical and classic.
Project Details:
When going DIY my best advice is to repurpose as much as possible. Also diy doesnt always mean making something it could mean taking away to create a certain effect. I did this by taking regular crayons + removing the traditional wrapper for instance to create a more upscale, hip + understated look OR by using plain frames to decorate.
Favorite Items:
the tin mugs + plates
Advice:
always start with your guest in mind and everything else will easily fall into place :)
