Shana, owner and designer of Belva June, was excited when Brittney, a repeat customer, came to her looking to create the ultimate birthday party for her 2-year-old son, who was into all things transportation. Armed with the mom's must haves and color scheme, Shana put the pedal to the metal to come up with the little guy's dream party filled with trucks, helicopters, trains, hot air balloons, and a lot of tasty treats! Chug on along to check out this adorable boy's party inspired by things that go. Source: Brittney Lohmeier and Belva June

Even at a transportation party, the main event is the treat table. Shana loves how Brittney added her own DIY to the party, "taking the three 20-by-30 designs of the sky pattern and green diagonal striped pattern, placed them on the wall, and applying enlarged graphics to add character to the background while incorporating the theme!"

Cute Signage

Cute Signage

Shana said, "I do really love some of the fun phrases that I created to bring the theme into the signage such as 'choo-choo-choose a treat' with the train graphic at the snack table, 'yield for a snack,' 'fuel station' for drinks, and 'dump gifts here' with dump-truck graphic. They are functional while still referencing the theme." Source: Brittney Lohmeier and Belva June
