Searching for a thrilling kids’ birthday party theme? A Hot Wheels™ party is the ultimate way to celebrate with excitement and style. From setting the perfect race car party table to curating a fueled-up food menu, we’re sharing our best tips for throwing a celebration that’s fast, fun, and totally unforgettable. So buckle up—it’s time to get ready, fête, go!

Featuring playful colors and classic checkered patterns, our exclusive collection of Hot Wheels™ party supplies is perfect for any birthday bash. 

Whether your theme leans retro or full-on fiery, our collection has everything you’ll need to channel that iconic trackside look. 

Set the scene for your race day adventure with bold party decorations– think bright orange and blue balloons and checkered garlands. For an immersive feel, create a Hot Wheels-inspired backdrop with black and white banners and race car balloons. 

Feel free to take it up a notch and transform your backdrop into a DIY photo booth. Simply add a few felt pennant flags, steering wheels, and trophy cutouts for playful, picture-perfect props. More than just a fun party activity, a photo backdrop acts as a vibrant decor element that captures the excitement of race day.

Once the scene is set, shift into high gear with a show-stopping tablescape! Start with a striped or checkered table runner, then layer on our Hot Wheels™ x Bonjour Fête Large Plates and matching Small Plates. 

For a classic race car setting, opt for the Black Small Plates and Blue Foil Checker Napkins. If you want to go even bolder, swap in the Blue Checker Small Plates and embellish with the Large Multicolor Napkins and Small Orange Napkins. Finally, tie it all together with our Hot Wheels™ x Bonjour Fête Cups and a set of metallic cutlery.

It’s important to fuel your racers with snacks and treats that match the theme! We suggest serving “Pit Stop Popcorn,” “Race Track Pretzels,” and “Turbo Chips” in these fun trophy treat cups. For drinks, serve some “high-octane” punch in trophy tumbler cups, sending them home with your racers as favors.

Don’t forget the main event! If you’re hosting a Hot Wheels birthday party, be sure to include a show-stopping cake adorned with speed racer toppers. Feel free to go the extra mile with race track cupcakes topped with mini Hot Wheels cars.

Keep your guests' engines running with engaging car-themed activities. From decorating toy race cars to competing in a classic Hot Wheels race, there are lots of fun ways to bring the action to life. Be sure to include some race car party favors to level up the excitement! 

We hope we’ve inspired you to throw a Hot Wheels party that’s as vibrant and thrilling as the cars themselves. For more revved-up ideas, check out the rest of our collection. From our fête to yours, bonne chance!
