Nascar Party

Nascar Party Ideas & Decorations

1) Begin decorating with Nascar themed party supplies.

2) Use the black and white checkered flag as inspiration throughout the party such as checkered tablecloths. Black and white streamers and balloons and hang checkered pennant flags on the walls.

3) Another idea for tablecloths is to use white butcher paper on the tables and draw roads on it. Leave Hot Wheels cars on the table for the kids to drive them on the road.

4) Another great touch for a Nascar Birthday Party is to decorate with posters of the birthday boys favorite race cars and Nascar drivers. But of course, don't forget the animated kind such as Lightening McQueen!

5) Use toy cars as centerpieces and tie black and white balloons to them.

6) Tie black and white balloons to old tires and use as decoration in front of the house or along the pathway.

7) Using cardboard or poster board create road and racing signs such as a stop sign, yield sign, speed limit (can be the birthday child's age), pit stop, etc. Attach some of the signs to stakes and put them in the yard.

8) Use clean empty oil bottles as balloon weight. Fill them with water and tie black and white balloons to them.
