Has anyone done a Minecraft party?

[Bernadine]

That's the theme dss has requested, and I feel like an old person, because I know nothing about it.

I feel like I've seen on here but if not it is all over Pinterest.

Yes, sort of. We had a game truck so the only real decorations I did was a Creeper box head (from DS's Halloween costume ) on the snack table, black bowls filled with snacks, black and green plates and napkins.

I made a Creeper cake, it was square shaped, green frosting and then I used black m&ms for the face.

Pinterest is confusing me, because I don't even know what the things are, lol.  I feel like I need a mine craft tutorial.

I know eb777888 has done some minecraft things, I think that included a birthday party? Either way, I think she can help with your tutorial if needed. My boys aren't into it (yet?).

My sister has. I sent my nephew this, which he wore while greeting his friends. LOL

Can't remember which style.

BIG HIT!

Amazon has a ton of party items for pretty cheap.

I can design Minecraft birthday invites! I did one for an old friend a couple years ago.

[happyholiday]

I did!  There are tons of ideas on Pinterest.  For decorations, we hung green and black streamers and balloons and used square black paper plates and red duct tape to make Endermen.  For food, I found these cute labels on Etsy for Minecraft items like carrots, strawberries, etc.  For items like emeralds, I cut up kiwi.  I'm pretty sure I have those files saved, I can PM them to you.  For his cake, I made a block of TNT with a black Twizzler on top and sparkly candles. I put green frosted cupcakes around it.  It came out ok, but I used fondant for the cake so no one really ate it, lol.  Also, what a pain in the ass!  I hate fondant now.  For favors, I ordered Minecraft necklaces from Etsy and bought some rock candy lollipops in green from Party City.  I tried to do a couple games (like pop balloons with a toy bow and arrow) but they had more fun just running around the backyard.

I did Minecraft birthday for Mia last year. I kept all the boxes from Amazon and Costco for a couple months. I used paper cutter and decorated them with squares of construction paper. I made them into all minecraft characters. I put up black sheets on the fence and ground outside an built a minecraft scence. The kids could play in and tske pictures. There are tons of cute ideas on pinterest!
I made creeper Tshirts for favors.

I haven't thrown one, but they're very popular among my son's friends. I don't really understand Minecraft either, even though both my kids love it, but it looks like stuff for parties is relatively easy because it's all made of squares and is pretty basic. It seems without fail, you must put the black squares (for a face) on something green, which I think is the creeper.

[eb777888]

I did not. I did a SW party and a Ninjago party. His party is in November and we'll do Minecraft. We did a Valetine's box in a Minecraft theme and Minecraft Easter eggs and I posted them, I think that's what people are thinking about.

I have a Minecraft board on PInterest and there are some REALLY good ideas. The creeper face is really easy to make. I just blow it up and print it out and cut it out. I think it would be really cute to put the creeper face on some green balloons.

When we did his Minecraft box, I just printed pages of that brown Minecraft pattern. You could do a lot with that, too.

IDK, it depends on how crafty you want to get. I haven't seen much Minecraft party stuff for sale anywhere. This happened to me last year when I did the Ninjago party, there just wasn't any party supplies for that show for some reason so I made everything (but I love to craft). My friend whose son loves Minecraft did the big game truck and it was a HUGE hit. David talked about that party for days.

I did. I made a minecraft cake (white with the red squares) - did food that resembled items in minecraft. had building competitions with blocks, cut out a shit.ton of construction paper squares so that the kids could make their own minecraft "face" and also take home as the favor. black and green streamers too of course. I've seen a lot out at Target lately for Minecraft and you can order favors and décor on line now too.

I wish I were crafty enough for this, wambam, but we haven't yet attempted this. Maybe for Babycakes' next birthday. .

Girl, BF and I spray painted a picture frame yesterday and you'd think we were starting our own DIY crafting channel, we were so proud.

I kind of want to be a fly on the wall for this. That's weird, I know.

But it's mostly because there had to be a mamma kay reference.

And lots and lots of digging.
