How to Plan a Minecraft Birthday Party

INSIDE: CHECK OUT ALL THE MINECRAFT THEMED IDEAS AND LEARN HOW TO PLAN A MINECRAFT BIRTHDAY PARTY

At this point, it might be so last year…..but we had fun!! Planning our Minecraft Birthday Party was EPIC!

Theme

A certain little girl wanted to celebrate Minecraft style. And so we did. 

Using the fail-proof planning guide, I was able to pull off a memorable party, keep kids entertained, and we had a sleepover too. PHEW! 

My favorite part of this theme is that this game doesn’t seem to outgrown people. It’s like Legos….when you’re bored, you can always go build, or destroy, something.

Location

Easy, she HAD to have a sleepover. So our house was the clear choice. 

I like to have parties at our house for several reasons – no hauling decorations to places, we can make it as short or long as we want, and it tends to be cheaper.

Invitation

I don’t even know if there is another place to get invitations at this point? Etsy of course….

Decorations

Decorations were harder for me to find, but since this was several years ago, I looked to see what the options are now……….HOLY COW…..people caught onto this theme. This whole package seems like the easiest option

I was able to find some Minecraft wrapping paper so I wrapped up 2 poster boards and used them as a back drop for pictures.

I also wrapped some empty boxes and stacked them near the food table. We kept it simple with Minecraft plates, table cloth, and napkins.

Food

With the the birthday girl’s help, we made food that was centered around the game and labeled them for all to see. I found the placecards on Pinterest.

Menu

• Chicken Nuggets (just chicken in the game)
• Cheese
• Carrots
• Strawberries, blueberries, and watermelon
• GOLD (macaroni and cheese)
• Minecraft Rice Crispy Treats
• Sticks (Pretezels)
• Potatoes (Fries)

It was a sleepover, so I need to make sure I had dinner food for the kids. 

AND of course……the cake and cupcakes. 

Games

I had several hours to entertain these kiddos, so first – we made Minecraft character heads. I purchased poster boards in bulk from Target, grabbed some sticky notes, and set the kids out to make their characters. 

After we made our characters, we made our mining tools. We taped large craft sticks together and covered them in aluminum foil. 

We also printed some word searches and coloring pages to keep everyone busy while I was helping them tape and put the final touches on their axes. 

They watched a movie, of course they couldn’t agree on one movie…..so the birthday girl got to decide. 

Goody Bags

The next morning, I sent them home with goody bags filled with stickers, pencils, and amazingly…..all their clothes, hair brushes, and only one toothbrush was left behind!! EVERYONE wins!!!!

Do your kids still play Minecraft? Mine love it….I think they would have a repeat party like this one….what do you think?

Happy Party Planning,
