If you’ve been following our blogging journey you know that Mr. A is completely obsessed with all things cars! His bedroom is even decked out! This kid eats, sleeps and breaths all things cars! If I’m counting right, this is only the 5th cars party we’ve thrown 

It’s fun to get the house all decorated up but I also like to keep things on a budget! Party expenses can sure add up quickly if you’re not paying attention.
My Mom and I created this photo backdrop as the main piece of decor for this party. The Dollar Tree has become our favorite place to look for the perfect party solutions. This backdrop is made from simple black plastic tablecloths. We laid them on the floor and taped them together with black and white checkered duct tape at the very top edge, making sure to fold the tablecloths as we went along so it would hang like a pleated curtain. When all of the tablecloths had been taped together we used painters tape to adhere it to the wall just behind the strip of duct tape. Once hung, we added an inexpensive engineering print of Mr. A sitting by the Route 66 sign in Cars Land in Disneyland. This is such a simple and inexpensive way to add a personal touch to the decor. These prints are only a couple of dollars from our local print shop. You can have them printed in a variety of sizes in both black and white or color. After we centered the print and taped it onto the tablecloth backdrop we then used tape to stick yellow balloons to the sides of the backdrop to mimic the painted stripes on the road. You can use any medium you’d like, yellow cardstock, crepe paper whatever you have lying around…we opted to use balloons to make it feel a little bit more like a kids party.
