Lou’s little Oliver turned 7 at the beginning of February and didn’t hesitate at the idea of an army tank themed birthday party! After all, it’s one of those party themes most little boys have to have at least once! If your little boy is fascinated by all things army, call in the troops and get ready to deploy on a special mission… a birthday celebration for a special boy!
We had such fun setting up Ollie’s army tank party using our printable decorations and we’ll show you exactly how easy it is to replicate the look for your own little military man’s party!
Army Tank Party Invitations
First things first, the invitations. Step 1 to alert the troops to their new mission! This editable army party invitation features a green army tank with grenades and other army accents to set the scene for an exciting party.
Army Tank Party Party Decorations
We used all our printable army tank party decorations to create this super cute party setup for Ollie which we’ll dive into in a moment. The other decorations we used are really simple but very effective in setting the scene. We used flags, army hats and backpacks to create an authentic army setup. The printable army party banner is editable, allowing you to customize the wording.
Check out how we set it all up below!
Army Tank Party Cake Topper
We iced a birthday cake in brown and green frosting to create a camo effect and then popped our editable printable cake topper on top. Finish off the look with some plastic soldiers you can get from any toy store.
Army Tank Party Cupcake Topper
These cute editable cupcake toppers also added to the overall look and are so simple to print out and pop into each cupcake.
Army Tank Party Food Labels
We love adding food labels to our party setups and playing with wording relevant to the theme to describe the treats. All these food labels are editable and easily folded into tent cards.
We also have matching printable water bottle labels and thank you cards to complete the look.
Now these army tank party printables suit a younger birthday boy like Ollie, however we have a vintage army tank party set that is more suitable for older boys and even milestone parties for army enthusiasts turning 40, 50 and beyond!
You’ll see we used all the same decorations and simply swapped out the printables to create a more mature, vintage look!
The editable banner instantly creates a different look in a darker green with a military-style font.
The vintage army tank cake topper and the matching cupcake toppers have an older feel that also changes the look of the cake entirely.
Add some character with matching food labels!
Finish off the look with a vintage army tank thank you card or thank you tag to attach to party favors.
And of course no party is ever complete without a perfect invitation! The vintage army tank party invitation features a watercolor army tank and military plane with an old school army vibe all round.
Isn’t it incredible how something as simple as swapping out party printables can change the whole look and feel in a flash?!
