Travel Celebration Trees

I am always on the look out to add travel-themed signs and ornaments to my travel trees—especially when I spot them on sale! I usually get my travel tree up in a month when I’m not busy with other celebrations or themes. And guess what? I’ve even used these trees to decorate for my friends’ and my own retirement parties.

Let’s Go on Adventures Celebration Tree

I love to travel, so on every trip I make sure I collect postcards of the places I have visited. This tree is an example of how you can use the postcards from places you have visited, vacation photos, museum postcards, or inexpensive travel-themed card sets. Tuck them directly into the branches and add a few travel signs and ornaments to complete the theme.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go Travel Celebration Tree

This version mixes travel souvenirs with playful camping and adventure accents. The framed Oh, the Places You’ll Go! focal point gives the tree its personality, while rainbow mesh, destination ornaments, an airplane, a camera, and camping signs fill out the theme. The easiest budget-friendly trick is to turn travel stickers and inexpensive wood rounds into custom ornaments for places that mean something to your family.
