DIY Race Car Themed Birthday Party

Recently we celebrated my son’s 5th birthday. He’s obsessed with cars right now, so we threw him a race car themed birthday party! I’ve pulled together some tips on how to create an elevated yet kid-friendly themed party.

Create Your Color Scheme

  • When thinking of a color scheme for this party, I didn’t want to do too many bright primary colors. Declan loves blue and red, so I decided to focus on black, white, muted shades of blue, and pops of red. I love anchoring decorations in neutrals and adding pops of brighter color with smaller decor pieces.

Themed Decorations

  • Similar to the color scheme, I like to mix themed decor in with more elevated elements. We opted for beautiful powder blue cookies and cake pops from @sweetleemade and balloons from @starsabovebaloons. I decorated the backdrop with eucalyptus bunches to add greenery- this is a great alternative to flowers. Of course we had to add some race car touches.

Kids Catering

  • For food, we decided to get separate cuisines for the kids and the adults. D’s favorite food ever is Chick-Fil-A, so we got him a buffet fit for a king. The kids loved it- but I would suggest including another option for the adults. We got sandwiches, salad, and pasta for guests who were looking for a healthier alternative.
