I’m so lucky to have two awesome and creative sister-in-laws…I love them both! One recently had a party for her little boy Lincoln, who turned 3. At first he wanted a Thomas Party, but then changed his mind to Cars. The funny thing is that he had a Cars party last year, but that’s what he insisted on! My sister-in-law Adriane planned this very creative Cars party for him…it really turned out great and I just love all the creative details!
She had some life-size tires outside on the front porch with balloons tied to them and then as you came in the house she created this cool road out of butcher paper and yellow duct tape, all to set the scene for the party.
These fun checkered banners and matching balloons were used to decorated the party area. I love all the non-traditional Cars images she used throughout the party, including these Dinoco signs.
The dessert table was filled with all sorts of treats for the guests to enjoy and I love the picture of Lincoln holding his invitation as the backdrop…it’s perfect!
Here’s some close-ups of the license plate invitation. I think it is just the coolest thing. Adriane had a family friend design it…so clever and unique!
And now for some details of the dessert table…in the center was a cupcake tower with some darling cupcakes and fondant toppers created by my favorite, Jill at Sprinklebelle Cakes.
Adriane used oil funnels to hold some candy and suckers that looked like wheels.
She made the construction cone rice krispies and placed them in an air filter…LOVE it!!
Check out these speed bumps, tires and pot holes…seriously so creative AND she made everything herself!
Rock candies…
The ribbon used to look like a road is a great little detail.
She served Cars juice boxes, water and soda to drink. Adriane found the images for both the 2-liters and water bottles online and made the labels.
It was a great party and Lincoln had a blast. Thanks for letting me share, Adriane! 
WOW–I love every detail of this party. What little boy wouldn’t love this?! I love that license plate!! Well done!
I know…she did a great job!!
Thanks Holly! But you forgot to take the credit for putting together the dessert table for me

No, I did nothing….you made it all fabulous!
Hi Holly. I met you at Emilie’s workshop. Your website is awesome and your pictures look great! You are so creative. I am adding your link to my blog so I can share your cute site with my friends and family. Happy snapping!
Yes, I remember you Nicky, it was nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Wow, creativity runs in the family (to the in-laws as well)! Fabulous details in this party…and that license plate invitation is so clever!
Thanks so much Lissa!
Can I ask where you had the invitations made?
Hi Ann, my sister-in-law had a family friend make them
Can I ask how you made the soda and water bottle labels?
How did you make the license plate?
My sister-in-law had a family friend that’s a graphic designer make them for her…sorry I didn’t have an easy answer!
I was wondering how the rice crispie cones were made. Was there a mold or was it cut by hand? Thanks!
Hi Danette, they were cut by hand…no mold!
Awesome party!! I am curious if she was able to find black butcher paper and where? Or did she have to paint it or something? Thanks!
Sorry didn’t see my last question. I am hoping to do this for my sons party on sat but have had no luck.
Hi McCall!
We have a local party supply store here in Utah called Zurchers where they sell butcher paper by the yard. Have fun with the party!
Crazy question – did she really use yellow duct tape to make that road? It didn’t stick to the floor and become a total mess? Seems like other tapes cost a fortune, so if there is a trick to the duct tape, that would be great!
Hi Anne! Yes, I confirmed with her that she did use duct tape and didn’t have a problem with it sticking to the floor
Planning my sons cars party and would love to make the water bottle labels. Any chance your sis-in-law would share the document? Pretty please?
=D
Hi Heather! I talked to my SIL and she doesn’t have a document because she used scrapbook paper to wrap around the bottles and then she just did a search on Google Images to find the specific logos that she wanted and then downloaded those and printed them on paper. Then she cut out the logo and stuck it on the scrapbook paper that was wrapped around the bottle. I hope that helps!!
such an adorable party! I was wondering how you made the rice krispies cones orange?
Hi Andrea! The rice krispies were dipped in orange candy melts.
