The best ideas for hosting a Firetruck birthday party.
Firetrucks are a fun theme to celebrate your kid’s upcoming birthday! The theme can easily work for a boy’s birthday or a girl’s birthday.
I’ve pulled together some of my favorite ideas for having a firefighter themed birthday party. Shopping small is important to me, so all of the ideas featured below are in my local St. Louis metro area.
INVITATIONS
Modern Firetruck Birthday Invitations featuring a vintage firetruck sketch are the perfect starting point for planning your party. You can choose from professionally printed invitations or a digital file as the starting point for styling the party.
SWEET TREATS
One of my favorite party tips is to host the party during a non-meal time and only serve sweet treats and light snacks (3pm is my go-to time for my kids’ birthday parties).
These Firetruck Cookies and Firefighter Cake from the super-talented Kaylin Jones Cupcakes are perfect for celebrating a special birthday. They’re detailed and feature everything for a firetruck loving kiddo – fire engines, dalmatians, fire hydrants, and ladders.
PARTY DECOR
I love planning and hosting birthday parties, but as a busy mom I don’t want to spend a ton of time decorating. I use the invitation theme throughout the party for decorations that are quick and easy to hang. My go-to birthday decorations are a cake topper and birthday banner.
Some years I have the time to create these myself, other years I use Dearheart Creations to customize the decorations for my kids’ parties. I absolutely love all of the Firefighter Decorations she made for one of her client’s parties – a Happy Birthday Banner, Firefighter Cupcake Toppers, Firetruck Cake Topper, and Firetruck Welcome Sign.
PARTY ATTIRE
A custom Firetruck Birthday Shirt from Dearheart Creations or a Glitter Firetruck Bow from Gem&Lo’s Bows make the perfect outfit for your birthday boy or girl.
THANK YOU CARDS
Don’t forget to thank guests for celebrating your child’s birthday with Firetruck Thank You Cards. The cards are available in my shop – professionally printed and shipped to you or as a digital file for you to print at home.
