Make your Cars fan’s birthday a blast! Your youngster will enjoy celebrating with Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson, Tow Mater, and Chick Hicks if they are fans of the Cars movie from Cars 1, Cars 2, or Cars 3. Here are some of our favorite Cars-themed birthday party ideas.
Party Decorations
Check the Cars-inspired dessert table — with a stars-and-circles paper garland serving as the backdrop — and all the party goodies in red, blue, and yellow. Yum!
Blacktop table top
You can create it by adding white tape stripes to a black plastic tablecloth to create this fun speedway. Bright paper plates and napkins add a pop of color. What a great backdrop for Cars-inspired party food!
Wearable boxcars
Remove the top and bottom flaps of big diapers and file boxes, and then decorate them to resemble characters from the movie. Kids can just step into the boxcar and hold the box by the handles at waist level to “drive.” Use these for photo ops, relay races, décor or just play!
Photo Booth
Imagine just how much fun the kids at this Cars birthday party had with this awesome Lightning photo booth, making crazy faces! What a great idea.
Table Settings
The table settings at this Cars birthday party are awesome! Love the street runner and the traffic sign centerpieces.
Party Foods Ideas
Here are all the Disney Cars birthday party food ideas you will need to make the perfect fun party for your kids.
Cupcakes
Red, yellow, and blue cupcakes — decorated with star sprinkles and placed in coordinating wrappers — were beautifully displayed on the dessert table. Custom cupcake toppers were the perfect finishing touch to the delectable sweets.
Cake pops
No birthday dessert table is complete without themed cake pops! These red and blue cake pops were also decorated with star sprinkles — just like the cupcakes.
Party Invitations
Start with a memorable invitation, such as this Cars invitation in the manner of a movie ticket. This invite is a keeper because it includes Lightning McQueen and even a photo of the birthday child! If buying a movie ticket isn’t your thing, this store has plenty of other choices.
FYI, every template in our site is coming for free and can be customized using your laptop, desktop and even through your smartphone.

Party Favors
There must be trophies for each winner to take home as a party treat if there is to be a race. What if you gave them each their own Cars character car so they could go with a smile on their faces?
Cake Balls
We love edible party favors very much. Cake balls in the colors of red, yellow, and green can be inexpensively packaged in cello bags as a take-home treat.
Racetrack Treat Bags
Use inexpensive colored bags and then paint a roadway onto each to make an easy, yet unique bag idea. You could paint the first letter of each child’s name as the street, or make your own design. If your kids are old enough, hand over the paintbrush, and let them create! These are perfect for piñata loot gathering as well!
