Planning a NASCAR driver birthday party for kids will take some work, but it can be easier than you think. We have provided some fun ideas for to help you plan a great NASCAR experience for your birthday child.
Start With Hot Rod Invitations
Invitations get the whole party moving. You can rev up your child's party by making your own NASCAR party invitations while saving money at the same time. Simply print out or draw the shape of a race car and decorate them in your favorite NASCAR driver's colors. If you don't want to get that creative you can decorate folded note cards with racing car stickers. Include a fun message on the inside and be sure and include a date and time and if there is a need to RSVP.
Decorating for the Party
Your local party store should have plenty of race car themed items to help you decorate for your NASCAR party. On the tables spread around race cars the kids can play with. Hang racing flags and consider making your driveway or yard a race track for the day. Scatter NASCAR memorabilia around the room and you will be all set to say, "GO!"
Birthday Party Fare
As fast as the food disappears at most birthday parties a Nascar theme is a true fit. Consider opting for cupcakes instead of a traditional birthday cake. Decorate with racing stripes and place miniature racing flags on top of cupcake. Punch, hotdogs and chips are perfect for this theme. They are all food found at a racing event and making cooking and clean up simple.
Games & Goodies
If your race car fan is like most kids he will want to play some games at his birthday party. A fun activity is to let the kids "build" race cars out of cardboard boxes then have a race. This is especially fun for younger children. A Pinewood derby race would be a great fit as well. When all the fun and games is over send the kids home with goody bags filled things like miniature cars, candy prize money.
If your child cannot tear himself away from the television when "Bob the Builder" is on, then consider holding a construction-themed birthday party that will let kids play with their hands. |
Party food should be the last thing you should stress over when you are planning a kids birthday party. Handling a room full of kids is no small feat, so low-maintenance party food is a must. |
