Back to the Future Party

Back to the Future Marty McFly Costume

In the early 2000s my young son requested a Back to the Future theme for his birthday. To that end, I created invitations and party decorations that featured Marty McFly, Doc Brown, the time machine DeLorean, and other BTTF-related items using materials I had collected years back and some images that I found on the Internet. Thanks to some Photoshop magic, we used very few store-bought decorations.

The two-sided invitation was the most fun to create. The front side features the logo, DeLorean, and our heroes Doc Brown and Marty McFly. The back side of the invitation shows the DeLorean’s license plate flying off, with party details added.

The “Save the Clock Tower” flyer was a cheap party decoration. I printed many of these on blue paper (true to the film) and passed them out at the party, encouraging people to place their contribution into a “Save the Clock Tower” donations can I made. Unfortunately, I didn’t get many takers.
