Brody's Scuderia: A Ferrari Inspired Birthday Party

Anyone have kids that love fast cars?!! My boys are obsessed with sports cars. They have even picked out their future first cars... a BMW i8 and Red Mustang. Yes, we can all dream, can't we?

I wasn't surprised when my nephew requested a Ferrari theme for his 9th birthday party. I knew there would not be a lot of party supplies available for this very specific car/theme. I had to get a little creative. Luckily I found the cutest Ferrari printable collection on Etsy by Art Paper Party. This really saved the day along with a custom Ferrari inspired banner by Piggy Bank Parties (keep reading to see what the banner means in Italian). 



An awesome welcome sign in the Ferrari font for the birthday boy. 


I kept desserts simple and fun. Chocolate covered "donut tires" and mini gold trophies filled with mini "steering wheel" Oreos. 


Who doesn't love party blowers? Well, parents... but kids love 'em.  

I customized the blowers with the small party circles from Art Paper Party's Ferrari collection. Hint, permanent glue dots are the perfect crafting material for adhering the circles to the blowers. 



I added checkered flag accents throughout the party with favor boxes, flags, and banners.




Close up details of the FABULOUS banner Piggy Bank Parties made for the party using the Ferrari font and colors. Notice the Italian flag rounded pennant with a personalized "B" Ferrari inspired shield! The birthday boy LOVED this extra special detail. The entire banner is now hanging in his bedroom. Gotta love party decorations that can be saved and re-used!


Fun little fact, notice the S F on the Ferrari badge (underneath the horse's legs), that stands for Scuderia Ferrari, the race car team founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929. Scuderia in Italian means a stable reserve for race horses, but more commonly now refers to Italian motor racing teams. That is how we came up with Brody's Scuderia for the banner.


Last but not least, we can't forget the party favors. Each party guest left with a fun box of goodies that included a race car pen, lollipop, tire yo-yo, checkered flag bandanna, gold trophy, and toy car.

A huge thank you to my party vendors:

vacation time ! ! !

All packed and ready to go. One more day of snow and ice left... before I get to see the sand and the sun again! We only see each other once a year - but ours is a glorious friendship. The sand doesn't mind my uber white body  (the illustration is where the wishful thinking comes in) reading on it. I don't mind it getting into places from which sand might not return:). Girls are also beside themselves with anticipation. We all need some cold and snow free family time.   I'll see you all mid February... hopefully, all full of vitamin D and the will to illustrate tirelessly for the rest of the year.

birthday party invitation Birthday gatherings are a good time for children and grown-ups of any age, and making a welcome is an imperative stride in the gathering arranging process, since solicitations guarantee individuals know to go to. In any case, on the off chance that you aren't acquainted with the birthday welcome organization, it can threaten to compose your own interestingly, particularly in case you're working with clear solicitations or making your own particular without any preparation. The primary concern is telling every one of your visitors the most imperative data, for example, when and where the gathering will be held, so you have to incorporate the greater part of this on the welcome.
