This is what Sarah said about this party- “In August last year, I had the pleasure of creating some custom printables for a client to suit a vintage car racing theme. While my customer only needed a few items, I knew the theme would look fabulous across a complete printables range, so I set about creating one.

I created this party table to show the printables in action. I came across the awesome black gasoline pump at a local discount store, and built up the table idea from there. I wanted it to be a bit vintage and rustic, but with all the fun and energy of bright colours and checkered flags. My client had me design her some oil can labels, and I loved the idea of those as props as well for this table. I used regular 400g tins of tomatoes and wrapped the labels around those – so simple, anyone can do it!”

Vintage Race Car Themed Birthday Party

Comment

This fabulous VINTAGE RACE CAR BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Maureen Anders of Anders Ruff Custom Designs! I just love all the amazing ideas found throughout this darling themed celebration!

Here is what Maureen had to say about planning the party- “I tend to design more for boys (probably because I am surrounded by 3 (well, 4 if you count our dog) at home). When Yolanda and Kate of Kiss Me Kate presented their story board and inspiration for their latest theme, it was game on. Presenting the Vintage Race Car theme…..

The invitation needs to set the tone, of course! This vintage style invitation represents an old style ticket that is the perfect way to send an invitation.

The dessert table is stunning and wait until you see the details! I love the centerpieces being the trophy shaped apothecary jars. We designed printable “1st, 2nd, 3rd place” logos that they used as prize ribbon decor on the jars. SO CUTE! I also love the vintage gas pump prop and the vintage racing oil cans as part of the decor – brilliant! Yolanda is an ace at sourcing the most amazing props for their events. Can you even believe the helmet cake pops!? What about the road speedsters? SO creative. Another creative touch is the “Gravel Pit”. Rock shaped chocolates PERFECT for this race car party theme. Kate’s desserts are perfect…. check out the finish flag cookie pops! I LOVE how they added the printable party flag to the back of the roadsters. Oh, and the CAKE…. Could you die!? The arrows going around the cake are COOKIE pops… the simplicity but CREATIVE detail that went into this cake shows the true talent of these ladies from Kiss Me Kate!

You can see our new Vintage Race Car printables throughout the party table. The party sign displayed as well as the party logos used as cupcake toppers. The printable banner strung on a white backdrop adds a striking focal point to the table. A printable drink wrap also adds interest to a party staple – water! The Vintage Race Car Printable invitation and coordinating collection is now available in the Anders Ruff shop!”
