Monster Truck Party Supplies
There are not a lot of things cooler than a monster truck party – except maybe the monster truck party supplies! Boys of all ages love monster truck jams, so if a parent is looking to host a party for someone slightly older than usual, monster truck party supplies might be the solution. If there is going to be a monster truck jam around the time of the child’s birthday, perhaps the parent could organise the party for the same night, when monster truck fever is in the air! Or perhaps the adult could try and find a monster truck to come visit the birthday boy at a nearby venue – that should really make his day complete.
Planning a monster truck birthday party shouldn’t be too difficult; there are plenty of monster truck party supplies, as well as themed items which can be used during the party. Other parents might be brought in to collude on a ‘monster truck’ night out, perhaps with a sleep over, or children can be encouraged to bring their own toy ‘monster truck’ to play with in the garden. Don’t forget that some girls enjoy a truck jam, so remember to include them in any plans you make.
Invitations should be the first thing on the monster truck party supplies list. Invitations can be bought in packs of about eight, or they can be made at home using some standard card, perhaps cutting out pictures of monster trucks and making a montage, or creating a ‘tire’ from black card with the invitation written on in white pen. Something like this should help create the tone of the evening – very childish and fun, or more adult and sophisticated, depending upon the kind of party you intend to throw.
Decorations depend very much upon where the party is taking place. Parents may decide that the best thing to do is to hold the party outside in the yard, with part of the garden transformed into a monster race track complete with monster truck party supplies. Checkered flags and party streamers can be placed around the outside of the track, and along any fenced or paved part of the yard – these are also a great way of advertising which is the ‘party house’. Black and white checkered items will be monster truck party supplies essentials – checkered tape should not be too difficult to get hold of, but if in need, a combination of black and white tapes arranged in checks will also be suitable. Creating a ‘track’ involves putting down sand, and of course marking ‘start’ and ‘finish’ lines in the dirt; add obstacles such as toy car tyres and sand ‘dunes’. In order to make it look as much like a monster truck course as possible. If the parent can get hold of some large-ish toy traffic lights, then this would be a great addition to the monster truck party supplies cupboard.
Banners and mylar balloons can be bought with monster truck party themes printed on them – other alternatives include buying a pack or two of black and white balloons, to resemble the checkered flag. Coloured balloons can also be used, just to remind everyone that it is a birthday party, along with monster truck yard signs and plaques.
Monster truck party supplies tableware can be bought in quantities for a discount price, although of course the host will have to buy individual items if there are a large number of children coming. The discount packs include plates, cups, napkins and cutlery, as well as placemats – it might be worth buying more than one pack if there is any doubt about the number of children coming to the party. The cups in particular will be in demand, as they can be bought in the shape of tyres, with a straw used for drinking. Adults may also wish to buy the monster truck party table cover, as this will ensure that the table isn’t damaged by the constant driving of toy trucks around the plates and cups! There is also a fantastic monster truck centrepiece available, which has a realistic-looking monster truck on huge tyres.
As well as the tableware, the birthday cake can also be decorated with monster trucks – either buy using a toy truck as the basis for a cake (perhaps as a present to the birthday boy), or by buying an edible image decoration featuring monster trucks – there are a number of alternatives for these.
All of the monster truck party supplies necessary can be bought in party packs, which feature invitations, party plates, cups, table covers, streamers balloons and confetti; there are deluxe packs which also include centrepieces and a birthday balloon set – the only thing that should be noted with these packs is that they are designed for parties of 8 children (the birthday boy and 7 friends), so be careful if the child wants to invite the whole class.
Children will probably expect to be sent home with some kind of loot bag, so another important item on that monster truck party supplies list will be party favours and treats. Of course the easiest thing to do will be to buy everyone a toy monster truck, but other alternatives include a stamp pack, sticker pack, tattoo pack, or a t-shirt emblem – the latter comes in packs of four, which is quite a good deal. With a slice from the edible monster truck cake, this should please children of all ages.
If your child is a fan of the monster truck, then a party complete with monster truck balloons, banners, plates and centrepieces should really make them very happy. Arranging a monster truck visit before the party can get kids stoked, and inviting them into the garden for a monster truck race should make it a party to remember. In fact, it is not only children that enjoy the thrill of monster truck racing, so if there are any adults that enjoy them, invite them along (they needn’t bring their toy trucks), and let them have a good time, too.
