Minecraft has swept into the hearts and devices around the world, and you’re tasked with creating a Minecraft world in your own home for a party. But have no fear! Minecraft is a great children’s party theme, with tons of opportunities to make your Minecraft party shine. With such a blocky style, it’s easy to build your party area into a one of a kind world for your birthday gamer.
Personalise your party to show off the special day you are celebrating. Customize messages on invites, labels, activity mats, bag tags and more.
Minecraft is a world made of coloured blocks so your decor will mostly contain square-shapes. In the game, there are many different worlds you can create and explore, so getting an idea of which worlds you’d like to include in your party will help you tackle the decor aspect much easier. Whether it’s snow, desert, water, grass, or sand, you’ll find some great tips to throwing a one-of-a-kind Minecraft party in your home or outside.
- You can coordinate solid blue, green, and black tableware and decorations with Minecraft brand elements to pull the whole look together.
- Make a Minecraft party backdrop by taking square shaped paper plates and sticking them to the wall with sticky tack or non-damaging tape.
- Use our stone wall backdrop to set the scene.
- Take or make cubed cardboard boxes and cover with duct tape, construction paper, or tissue paper grass. Poke two small holes in the top and hang them from the ceiling with fishing line.
Party favours are a part of the party fun, and with a Minecraft themed party, you’ve got lots of options to choose from. You can even make it a personalised gift, with either a themed name tag or another individual character. Carry your theme through your party favours to make it feel complete.
- Use coloured paper bags or boxes and glue or draw Creeper, Golem, or Ghast faces on them.
- Fill smartie tubes with red, green, and blue bubblegum labelled as “TNT,” “Diamonds,” or “Slimeballs.”
- Small blind bags of Minecraft collectables also make great favours.
- Make your own Minecraft boxes to fill with small favour items with this simple template.
- For older children party poppers labelled TNT make a great party favour as well!
- Paint or tape Creeper faces on lime green buckets so your attendees can take a character from Minecraft home!
Minecraft is all about building a world, so why not include some building creativity during the party? Having the kids (and family) create a make-and-take craft is a great way to keep the kids entertained and add one more keepsake to the pile of party favours.
- Tape bracelets are a fun craft that’s quick and easy!
- Pick up some inexpensive blank T-shirts and have the party attendees make their own Minecraft shirts use heat transfer vinyl or fabric paint.
- With a little pre-planning, you can make some fantastic Minecraft creatures from simple items such as toilet paper rolls and small boxes.
