Hey there! Want to throw a birthday bash that your kiddo will absolutely love?


This race car party theme is perfect for the little ones who are crazy about race cars - the speed, the tracks, the pit stops, and, of course, the race cars themselves!


Birthdays are a great way to show anyone how special they are. This race car theme is way too cute and perfect for any age!


 

I love throwing a birthday party and seeing all of the small details that make the party come to life! Let's get this party planned!


When you break down a birthday party, it has a 5 main elements to it:


All the items listed are clickable links. Simply click on each one to be directed to the respective page!


Invitations:

This part of the party is quite literally one of my favorite parts! It’s the sneak peak to what your party is going to be all about!


Check out these race car invitations options:




Decorations:

This is where the magic happens! Decorative pieces are a great way to really show off your theme!


I would use a 'Happy Birthday' Checkered Banner as a backdrop for pictures! Don’t forget to take all the pictures of the great memories you will make! Tip: if you need help with taking pictures, lay around a few disposable cameras so that guest can use them to take pictures!


The Traffic Cones and Racing Checkered Flags are great very versatile for their purposes! They are great fillers in any areas such as center pieces for the tables or in between food trays! You could also give a flag to each kid to play with at the birthday party! Using the cones for a race track is a fantastic idea!


Balloon arrangements are a perfect way to showcase your theme while keeping it affordable! Who doesn’t love that?? This Race Car Birthday Balloon Set is a great option! If you want to make your own arrangements to place around the event space (mailbox, entrance, backdrop, tables, etc.) I would recommend getting individual balloons to allow you to build your arrangements the way you want them! Here's some great options: Wheel/Tire Balloons, Checkered Balloons, Red/Black Star Balloons, Red Race Car Balloons & Silver Race Car Balloons. Make sure you use different lengths of ribbon to allow the balloon arrangements to look larger and fuller!


Placing these Stoplights and Traffic Signs around the event space to tie it all together! You can place them near the balloon arrangements, the backdrop, the entrance, or the area where food will be served! These stoplights and traffic signs are also another great add on if you are going to create a racetrack for the kids at the party to use!


Set up your tables using these Checkered Tablecloths! To add a finishing touch to your tables you can add these Assorted Race Car Table Centerpieces! It will look complete after all of this decorating!




Tableware:

There's many different ways to add in small touches of the theme through the use of tableware items.


This Red Serving Tray is a great example of that, it aligns well because it's one of the base colors for the theme. I selected this red tray with the intention of reusing it for a future occasion or holiday!


For your tableware items, I recommend using this Assorted Race Car Checkered Birthday Tableware Set. It serves 24 people using plates, plastic silverware, cups & napkins. I recommend using this Racing Podium Display to place any bowls of chips, cookies or other party snacks! For the little guest at the birthday party, these Traffic Cone Cups are very cute and are the perfect addition to this party! The kids will LOVE those party cups!


Now time for dessert! Another great way to incorporate the theme using tableware is using a Race Car Themed Cupcake Stand! This cupcake stand helps bring some height to your party as well! If you make your own cupcakes for the birthday party, consider using these Checkered Cupcake Liners because they also come mini checkered flags to use as cupcake toppers! Making your own cupcakes is one way to help keep costs down while still hosting a great birthday party!




Activity/Party Favors:


When hosting an event like a birthday, try to have some sort of activity to entertain your guest!


I recently purchased a Bounce House to use for both of my kids' birthday parties! It was worth every penny! With only two uses, it already covered a rental price! Every kid had a blast! To include the theme to your bounce house, add a balloon arrangement or two on the side of the bounce house!


For a more cost efficient option, this Race Car Piñata is a great activity for the kids! I would recommend these Checkered Racing Party Bags for the kids to use for the candy they receive from the piñata. You can also add in a few Toy Cars or some Race Car Themed Bubble Wands to each bag to use as a party favor! What kid wouldn't love some bubbles and some toy cars! The party favors are practical because they cover a variety of ages. They are a great way to thank a guest for coming to your event or party!




 

And just like that, you have everything you need to throw an awesome Race Car Themed Birthday Party, if you decide to go with this theme, I hope you and your guest enjoy it!


I post other birthday themes for all ages as well, feel free to check them out! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!
