Race Car party ideas/inspiration!

One of my favorite childhood memories with my brother is when he would allow me to come in his room and play with his race cars! Why are they just for boys?!? total crap! lol...

Don't forget about older (but still fresh!) frosting tips for race car theme, too!

How bright and fun is this setup?!? I love the red and white instead of black and white! and how simply adorable is that cake?!? Source

A little older take - hubcaps as a backdrop - awesome! You could pull this one off well into their teens! Also, don't forget to steal the idea of layering fabrics on the table setup - perfect! Source

Don't be afraid to use car things (unused!!!) - put them in the dishwasher and they are just like any other plastic or metal (unused!!!) item! Make it fun like this ridiculously clever drink station! Source

If the kids are young enough, have them bring their race cars, bikes, etc and set up a race then end with a car wash! How fun! Source and tutorial

Another fun idea is this racetrack tape! you could set this up all over the party! Source found via pedicurestopuddles. blogspot.com

And how about this adorable race car cake?!? The clouds are tugging at my heart strings! I love it! Source

Race Car theme

One of my best memories growing up with my brother (not many, he was older lol) was playing cars.  I think a car theme fits many ages!

Set up a great buffet with lots of goodies.  Use bold black and white patterns to coordinate with your theme! I love the silhouette on this cake, too with one pop of color! Source

Add a little flare to mini burgers or sandwiches with checkered flags! I love the coordinating buffet cards, too! Source

Make traffic light cookies with red, yellow and green candies on a popsicle stick! Source unknown :o(

Add a little frosting to your drink station just by adding a "refuel" sign! Love themed signage! She even had oil funnels at the milk station! Source







Add white stripes to an inexpensive black table cloth, use green, yellow and red plates! Source

My FAV cake/cupcakes I found for this theme! How dang cute are these?!? Source, and here is a good tutorial for the race car.
