Invitations

Send out one of these invitations, and you'll have guests racing over for a NASCAR theme party idea in no time!

• Does your NASCAR fan have a favorite driver? If so, use cardstock to cut out the number, leaving two digits connected. On the front, inside the number, write "Welcome, Race Fans!" On the back or inside, add "We're throwing a party that even (driver's name) can't beat! Don't miss rookie (child's name) in the number (age) car as he burns up the track! The race begins on (date) at (time), (location)."
• Cut a racecar shape out of card stock and allow your child to decorate it. Make copies of the original onto more cardstock and cut out for invitations. Invite guests to "Race over for NASCAR birthday fun! (Name) is joining the team in the number (age) car, and we're starting the season with a party!" Include party time, date, and location.
• Take a picture of the birthday boy in a Racecar Driver costume and put in inside a card. On the front of the card, decorate to look like a checkered flag. Write "And the winner is…" on the flag pattern. Inside, beneath your child's picture, write "(Name) in the number (age) car! Join us in the winner's circle at (location) on (date)! Gates open at (time of party)."

Costumes

To really shift your NASCAR birthday party into high gear, ask guests to come dressed in their favorite driver's team clothing. If guests don't have licensed tees, they can wear solid colors.

Alternatively, ask everyone to bring a tee shirt that matches their favorite NASCAR team and have an assortment of fabric or puff paints at the party so guests can decorate with car numbers or sponsor logos. Allow shirts to dry during the party for a very cool souvenir.

Nascar Theme Party Idea for Decorations

In NASCAR, the race is for the checkered flag. Welcome party guests track-side with Racing Flags along the path up to the door. Add green and red flags and draw lanes on the driveway with chalk to complete the track scene.

Inside, the Racecar personalized birthday banner is a fun way to show sponsorship for your favorite driver! Add to the track feel by displaying the numbers of all of your favorite cars. Make them from poster board and display them against the wall, or, to be really authentic, hang them from the ceiling pit-road style.

Every track has a car or two parked out for display, so keep with the trend by having an Inflatable Racecar on site. Kids up to 60 lbs can take a turn behind the wheel. They'll feel like superstars, so keep your camera ready to catch images of the newest celebrity drivers on the track!

Safety is a big concern for NASCAR officials, so use flashing round safety lights to mark the course. Designate a "no racing" zone near concessions to avoid accidents!

Another use for those flashing lights is on guests' very own stock or pace cars! Their imaginations will race when you give them an assortment of large boxes and markers or washable paints. Assist each crew chief with cutting and shaping his box, then let them burn rubber and decorate!

Every race day is a party, so be sure to hang plenty of streamers and balloons. Use the colors of your favorite drivers for a personal touch. Always a favorite theme party idea decoration, you'll crank the celebration up a notch by adding these festive touches!

Set the table with the NASCAR party supply pack, which comes with all of the plates, napkins, cups, and cutlery you'll need for a crew of eight, including a table cover and activity placemats. Also included are balloons, confetti, two racing flags, streamers, and more. Additional supplies are available.

Add surrounding details, such as the grandstand or pit road -- if you're feeling artistic. When the icing details are complete, arrange Die-Cast metal cars around the track. Be sure to clean them carefully and dry thoroughly before placing them on the cake.
• If you're up for a challenge, then the Racecar cake pan will take you straight for the winner's circle. The pan comes with complete decorating advice and instructions right on the insert.

Thank Your Notes

Be sure to take pictures of guests and they work on their race cars or take a spin in the inflatable version. Have prints made, and let the birthday star scrawl his thank you on the back of the photo, celebrity style. Finish off the message with an autograph, and party guests will be able to say "I knew him when…"!
