Monster Truck Birthday

Now that I’m a mommy of a little boy, I’m getting more familiar with party ideas for boys. All of these topics that used to be another language to me (sports, wrestling, racing, etc.) are all interesting and new! Yes, I know girls can be into sports, wrestling and racing too but I wasn’t when I was young so this is all new to me. I was more a girly girl with Barbies, playing house, and baking. There are so many ways to get creative with party ideas for boys and today I’m tackling the theme Monster Truck Birthday. I styled this party for Birthday In A Box using a lot of their party supplies. You can read the full party planning article on the Birthday In A Box site. In this post I’ll share all of the party photos with you to help you brainstorm ideas for your own parties.

Monster Truck Birthday Party Ideas

Monster Truck Birthday – Invitations:

What comes to mind when you think of monster trucks? Big wheels, crushed cars, muddy tracks, racing flags and more? For a fun DIY invitation, you could print the invitation on plain paper and then drive across it with a monster truck toy covered in mud. It’s a lot easier to do than it sounds! Simply roll the tires of a toy truck through some brown non-toxic ink and drive it across the invitation. Just be sure not to drive over any of the important party details.

There are also plenty of printed invitations that you simply need to write the party details into.

Monster Truck Birthday – Activities:

A simple board from your local hardware store and a long strip of black electrical tape can be turned into a monster truck racetrack. Each of the party guests can take turns racing monster trucks down the track and across the finish line.

Obstacle courses are always a fun game at birthday parties. Some inflatable tires, racing flags and safety cones could be used to create a fun obstacle course for the kids to run, jump, crawl and hop through.

Another fun idea is to create your own monster truck body shop with supplies for painting and designing their own monster truck creations. Kids could also use these on the homemade racetrack.

    I’m look for the party favor printout just like that to tie into the monster trucks. Where did you find it at?
