Car Birthday Party Theme

Planning a car birthday party theme? Then, Vroom! Vroom! you're in the right spot!  Check out these fun car birthday party theme ideas–your little one will love them!

We've had our share of girly themes like a candy themed party, a cowgirl party, and even a baking and craft party. But I love the idea of a car birthday party theme.

Update: I recently threw a modern race car themed birthday for my son's third birthday!

Here are a few different car party invitations to set the party mood. I love the simplicity of the car silhouette, And the one with the animals is so fun, don't you think?

These car birthday party theme ideas are lots of fun and simple to do. Like these car shakes sandwiches ... the perfect car party details!


Your guests will want to race to your party after receiving these car themed invitations. Browse these fun designs, here. (And don't forget to order the matching Thank You cards when you order the invites. This will save you time later).

I love simple designs that carry your theme through from start to finish in a modern yet effortless sort of way. Remember last week when I raved about party theme sandwiches? How perfect are these car shaped ones? Sarah {owner of jack & izzy} served these to her party guests during her son's party. The simple idea of alternating white bread and wheat bread really makes these car sandwiches look interesting on a platter.

Easy Ideas For A Car Birthday Party

Here are just a few ideas that can help you pull together a car birthday party theme:

  • Use car tape on the floor, table or walls and put out little cars kids can "drive" around the house.
  • Make signs like I did for our modern race car birthday that say things like "speed limit" and "fueling station."
  • If it's warm weather, make a "car wash" station outside and let kids wash toy cars (just set up a tub with water and bubbles and give them little brushes to use).

These car birthday party theme ideas are lots of fun and simple to do. Like these car shakes sandwiches ... the perfect car party details!

The car shaped straws are such a great touch. The key to pulling off a fabulous themed party is to carry the details all the way through and Sarah sure did it here! Remember, it doesn't have to be over the top or fancy, these little details make the theme come together and are simple to do.

    Wow. I really like those car shaped sandwiches. Were they just made with a cookie cutter?
    We got a birthday party coming up soon and a car theme might be the perfect choice.
