How to make your party one in a minion
Minions have taken over the world.
These tiny, yellow, pill-shaped creatures are popular with children AND adults thanks to their starring role in the movies
Despicable Me and
Despicable Me 2. They even got their own spinoff with
Minions.
But you probably already know that, unless you've been living under a minion-sized rock.
It could be that you've loved minions for ages. Maybe you've only discovered their curious joys in recent months. But regardless... if minion party ideas have been on your mind, we've got good news for you.
We're going to share how to host a minion-themed party to end all minion-themed parties.
Well, maybe not end them. That would be sad. But certainly surpass and exceed them.
From minion costumes to minion cupcakes, minion décor to minion dancin' tunes, we've got all the party hacks you need to immerse your guests in the magical world of minions.
And no, you don't have to serve fillet minion.
Food
Minions go gaga over bananas and apples (or 'bapples', as they call them) so make sure you have plenty of both cut up on a fruit platter. Your colour theme should be yellow and blue to match your
minion costumes so put out some pineapple and blueberries as well.
We don't think anyone in the world would object to eating a minion cupcake, not even an evil supervillain like their despicable master Gru. This round-up of
15 minion-themed cupcakes and cakes should be your number one pitstop. Anything banana-flavoured will also work a treat.
To keep in tune with the diet of a true minion, you can also make some
yummy minion popcorn that's dyed yellow and blue, and serve it in plastic yellow and blue pails. Don't forget to provide yellow and blue paper napkins and head to Betty Crocker to find out how to make these
crafty minion party favours.
For a last-minute minion dessert, throw together a banana and custard trifle. Put a minion face on it using two separated Oreo cookies, a liquorice strap, two chocolate M&M's and your imagination.
Costumes
Minions are not fashionistas. They dress in blue jean overalls, black boots and black gloves. They are afflicted by poor eyesight so wear goggle-like glasses.
Minions are genetically predisposed to look the same, but they do come in five distinctive body types:
- Short with two eyes
- Short with one eye
- Tall with two eyes
- Tall with one eye
Remarkable!
At least it's easy to dress up as one of these mini yellow henchmen. Wanna be a minion called Bob? Our
adult-sized costume comprises of a jumpsuit, a yellow skull cap, rubber goggles and three-fingered gloves. If you're disturbed by the fact that Minion Bob has no hair, you can always go as
Minion Kevin instead!
We also have a plus-sized
Minion Dave costume if you want to discreetly reference the deep, abiding love that minions have for ice cream and bananas. Our
female minion costume includes a skirted denim overall and semi-sheer knee socks as well as black wrist-length gloves.
For kids, we have a
minion romper just for toddlers and a
polyfoam minion tunic that's perfect for under 10's. We've even got a
minion costume for dogs so your pet can join in on the minion party fun!
We are an officially licensed stockist of
minion costumes so you can always rest assured you'll get high-quality garments that will survive a minion lifestyle.
Decorations
If you're planning a minion party and you think you've got too many yellow and blue decorations, you still haven't got enough! Go crazy with yellow and blue. Dream in yellow and blue. Talk until you're yellow and blue. You get the idea.
As well as filling your house with yellow and blue decorations, you can wrap your front door in yellow and blue crepe paper then add a cute minion face to it using a paper plate and a black texta. Tie a bunch of yellow and blue balloons to the front gate, and scatter a trail of yellow and blue confetti to the party area.
There are a lot of DIY minion party decorations you can make using a bit of imagination and craft glue. These
minion paper cups will make every fizzy drink exciting, and these
minion party bags are adorable. You can even create
minion finger puppets using a rubber kitchen glove!
Don't forget the minion party tunes.
The Despicable Me 1, 2 and
3 soundtracks will do the trick, and you can cue up the
minions 'ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-nana' song for the cutting of the cake.
That's a wrap!
The sky's the limit when it comes to fun minion party ideas, so embrace the silliness of these mischievous pill-shaped critters and go bananas! If you're looking for minion party activities, try a minion relay race or put a fun twist on a classic game with Duck Duck Gru. Better yet, print out a large image of a minion without goggles and a picture of the goggles by themselves, grab a blindfold and play Pin The Goggles On The Minion!
