The Table:
The table was layered in a camouflage army table cloth topped with a burlap table runner and even more camouflage inspired table-wear.
The Place Settings:
Each place setting consisted of a burlap charger, which was layered with an army dinner and dessert plate.
Each set of plates rested upon both camouflage and army paper napkins. We love creating a layered look to give a more eye appealing place setting.
Resting atop each dessert plate was a set of camouflage binoculars, perfect for blending into your surroundings and playing make believe!
These adorable party favors were the perfect option because they allowed guests to play during the party and continue the imaginative playtime at home!
To the right of each place setting sat an army themed napkin topped with black cutlery.
Each guest also had their own working canteen, perfect for water, juice or just for play!
The Centerpiece:
This DIY Camouflage Army Centerpiece looked great running down the center of our party table!
Marquee letters were painted gold and had a bold camouflage print inserted within each letter.
Flanking each side of our marquee signage sat two other centerpiece components. Each centerpiece consisted of a decorated gold box filled with delicious green and black candies.
An army star was fashioned to the front of each centerpiece box.
An army sign was added to a paper straw and inserted into the center of each box.
The kids' loved grabbing some candy from the centerpiece as well!
The Backdrop and Snack Display:
We wanted our tiny soldiers to feel as though they were about to step right into an army trench full of camouflaged gear, rations and fun decor.
To create a fun and easy DIY Camouflage Army Trench Backdrop, camouflaged netting adorned a camouflaged backdrop wall to create this unique and army inspired backdrop. Aged crates, netting and burlap were draped from the table for custom look.
Drinks and Decor:
In the center of our wall sat a simple DIY burlap banner.
Directly beneath sat a crate with netting that displayed additional canteens for guests to use.
To the left of the canteens were more stacked crates displaying vintage style glass soda bottles.
Army themed cups with black and white striped paper straws were perfect for guests to enjoy a bit of soda or another beverage.
Simple and Delicious Snacks:
To the right sat additional crates which housed our DIY Army Trail Mix Recipe.
Soldiers need high protein delicious snacks to keep them energized all day and this yummy play on a classic treat was a tasty success.
Lastly, the kids loved the camouflage dog tags that hung from each box of trail mix and couldn't wait to wear them!
