Minecraft Party Decorations

Drape a jointed banner across the back to send your “happy birthday” message loud and clear! Tip: separate it to create a double line. Use fishing line and command hooks to display it.
We have the perfect recipe for a Minecraft tablescape! Start with a tablecloth base, top with a personalized activity mat, add a big helping of 9” themed plates and a dash of DIY.
These TNT cups are easy to put together with our basic red paper cups and printable wrappers.
Let friends hone their inner creeper with matching party hats.

Minecraft Party Food and Drink
Cows, pigs and chicken are featured in the game so make sure to feature them as your Minecraft party lunch options too. Hamburger sliders, pigs in a blanket and chicken numbers are all easy finger foods to serve up to your hungry tweens.
When it comes to the desserts, turn to the blocks and items of the game for inspiration on what to serve. Turn these Minecraft bag tags into food labels to display these food names.
Bake a square cake, frost with white icing and cut red square shapes to decorate using red Fruit Roll Ups.
Cut watermelon triangle slices, like the melon design.
Brownies with green grassy icing are easily a grass block. Tip: Wilton tip #233 can make this happen!
And cookies? Well they’re cookies.
Throw in a little gold candy in the form of Hershey’s nuggets and powdered donut “snowballs” and this will surely be a dessert buffet Steve and Alex would approve!
Minecraft Party Activities
The design style of Minecraft is all blocks and pixels. Follow the game’s lead and put together a melty bead station where you build based on pixels. Download printable design sheets, lay out clear boards, plenty of bead colors and let guests complete their favorite Minecraft character or icon. Tip: have an adult armed at the iron for the melting station to keep everyone safe.
No need to stay 3 blocks away from the Minecraft Creeper Pinata. This modern safer party activity can be done even in the smallest space. Each guest holds a string and they all pull it at the same time. Only one opens the door to release all your party candy and treasures, but no one will know who actually gave it a go!
Minecraft Party Favors
Kids get a kick out of toys and trinkets that match their favorite game. Fill their plastic favor bag with any or all of these Minecraft favor options and tie on a personalized tag thank you message:
- Minecraft stickers – shifts them left or right and you’ll see they have a hologram design!
- Minecraft Tattoos – Give friends a full sheet or cute the up and let each friend have a few
