 Birthday Party! 


Get ready to celebrate as my son's fifth birthday approaches! Quinn is taking charge this year and planning his own party, with a Minecraft theme. Join us on this exciting adventure filled with crafting, Pinterest ideas, and loads of inspiration for the perfect Minecraft Birthday Party. Let's make this celebration one to remember!
 

Step 1 - Minecraft Invitations

We searched high and low for fun, unique Minecraft birthday party invitations. We had quite an array of invites but he was particular about what was on the invites so I ended up creating his invitations that had the cake, pig, and squid that he was so passionate about being in his invitations!

Step 2 - Minecraft Decorations

Our own DIY Minecraft Decorations are soon to come! Until then though, here are some great ideas to get you started! This game contains so much, it is easy to decorate everything! We found this really cool Minecraft decorating idea at Luxcat.

This is the Pinata that the birthday boy chose! We plan on making ours this weekend I'll post photos asap! I can't find the original source for this unfortunately, I would love to have the directions!

 I like this Minecraft Creeper cup idea, we will be doing this also! I'll let you know how ours turned out! I will include the link to the stencil below in the cake section.

The axe is definitely going to be a big hit around this party filled with five-year-old boys! I wish I could figure out how to incorporate this great free printable of the Minecraft Pick Axe and use it for my pinata stick.  Well, it's something to think about this week while I'm working on DIY Minecraft decorations!

 Step 3 - Minecraft Party Snacks

During our Minecraft party search, I noticed that there is a variety of food choices! In the Minecraft game, there is an inventory that holds all of your buildable items. This is such a great way to present your food! We chose to have a healthier lunch plan, not because we are such a healthy family, but just because with cake and ice cream and this being an indoor party in the middle of winter, I just want the house to be recognizable after this party! lol

 Great way to incorporate strawberries into this party's meal plan as our Minecraft Redstone!

 Great idea for the lava! I had planned on using jello, but I think that the mixed cheese cubes are a great idea for lava!  Plus, Cheese, Grapes, and Strawberry are all the birthday boy's favorites!

Step 4 - Minecraft Cake 

There are so many cake ideas! My husband likes to dig in and work on a cake for a day or two, so the birthday boy took full advantage and requested something similar to the top image.  It was exceptionally hard to choose only one as there are so many great options! 

I love how this is a movie! The birthday boy sat and watched the entire movie! He can't wait to get started! We are going to use our tried and true homemade chocolate cake, but this was a great Minecraft Cake tutorial! Great video! Thanks!


We liked these cakes too! But, the lava and water won out!
This cake is the traditional Minecraft cake from the game. If you are looking for authentic Minecraft this is it!

 This seems fun! I wonder if they would like stickers to cover the spaces instead of bingo markers! (just thinking of my walls again! lol)
