So, you decided to organize a birthday in the style of "Minions"? First of all, you should take care of compiling a list of guests. Then you need to start making "invitation cards." Here are some original ideas on how to do this:

How to make a costume?
What a theme holiday without a colorful protagonist? The simplest, but quite expensive option is to rent a costume or its individual elements. But you can make yourself a holiday hero. This will require a yellow T-shirt and hat, denim overalls, felt. From the material you need to cut eyes, glasses, hair. Then sew these elements to the hat, and the simple minion costume is ready!
To maintain the theme of the celebration, invite guests to also dress in the style of the event.
Holiday Design Ideas
In addition to standard decorations in the form of various garlands, balloons, caps, dishes with images of men, we offer non-standard ideas on how to design a birthday in the style of minions:
- you can make "cartoon" characters from various materials at hand: pumpkins, plastic bottles, candles;
- thematically design zones "selfie";
- organize a "candy bar" where various small sweets (gingerbread cookies, muffins, sweets) are in the form of cartoon characters;
- allocate a place for the "creative zone", where guests will be asked to make minions from blanks on their own;
- make a surprise ball in the form of the main character.
Treats
A birthday in the Minions style involves active outdoor games. Children simply will not have time to sit at the table, trying culinary delights. Therefore, treats should be simple and convenient for use without the use of cutlery. For example, we offer such dishes for a children's holiday table :
- chicken or meat kebabs;
- cheese snacks on skewers;
- vegetable salads in tartlets;
- vegetable fondue with warm cheese.
A separate food area of the holiday is the "Candy Bar". It is recommended to demonstrate it after the guests have already eaten with main dishes. After that, everyone can enjoy sweets on their own throughout the holiday.
Games and Fun
How to organize a minions birthday? The scenario of the holiday should include many games, competitions and surprises. Typically, an entertainment program of such subjects is designed for 7-10 participants aged 4 to 7 years. It is recommended to play games no longer than an hour, after which you can offer children independent communication in the "game" or "creativity zone".
Today, a popular form of holding a holiday is a quest. This is a kind of story game in which you need to go through many different tests to achieve a specific goal. In this case, you can offer children the following story: an evil sorceress stole a birthday cake - you need to go in search of it, overcoming various obstacles on the way.
What kind of entertainment can you come up with for organizing a Minions birthday? Here are some interesting options:
- pinata or surprise ball;
- thematic face painting;
- disco "Cheerful little men";
- a paper pool (a fenced area of a room filled with cut paper);
- "creative zone", where guests can independently make a minion, for example, from salt dough or decorate a finished gypsum figure of a man.
What minion style birthday contests can I have? Below we offer some fun thematic games.
"Points in place"
For this competition you will need: a large image of a “cartoon” hero, paper glasses with double-sided tape on the back, a non-illuminated bandage. Not only children can play, but also adults. The task of the participants is to blindfold the glasses to the drawn character.
Bowling Mignon
For this game you will need to prepare inventory. So, skittles can be made of plastic bottles by painting containers in the form of cartoon characters. For stability, you need to pour sand in the tank.
The task of the game is to shoot down as many pins as possible, installed at a certain distance, with the ball.
"Happy Banana"
The purpose of this competition is to decorate a banana in a peel so that it resembles a Minion. You can complicate the game by suggesting that participants first “get” fruits, for example, guessing riddles, collecting themed puzzles or competing in relay tasks.
So, completing various tasks, the participants in the quest come closer to unraveling the mystery of the "missing cake." The last obstacle will be a meeting with the evil sorceress, who will offer the task "Wishes for the birthday man." After all the guests congratulate the hero of the occasion, they make the same “missing” cake with burning candles to the music from the cartoon.
Holiday baking
Today it’s easy to order a birthday cake in the form of a cartoon hero, but such products are expensive. Can I make holiday pastries at home? Nothing is easier! The basis of the dessert will be the cake "Honey" without decor. It is advisable to choose a round baking. Then with the help of chocolate paste you need to draw eyes, glasses, the mouth of the minion - and the themed cake is ready! If there is culinary talent, then you can cook a real masterpiece with the help of multi-colored glaze and sweet mastic.
You can create a cake shape from cupcakes "emoticons" using a special form for multi-tiered festive baking.
Photo for memory
Planning an original minions birthday? Holiday photos will help to keep pleasant memories. But you need to take care of the organization of the "selfie zone" in advance. To do this, highlight a small bright area of the room in which the celebration is held. Then you need to decorate the walls with the help of yellow and blue fabric, decorate with various figures of minions, stickers and other interesting little things. A photo against such a background will turn out to be colorful and positive. The resulting pictures can immediately be sent by e-mail to all guests of the holiday.
Gifts for guests
At a birthday, it is customary to give gifts to a birthday person. But you can violate existing rules and please guests with memorable presents. So, girls can give hair pins with the image of funny heroes, and boys will appreciate the set of bright stickers. Everyone will love coloring books, comics, stationery, souvenirs.
You can independently prepare a surprise for the guests. For example, to surprise with hand-made knitted little men or figures from plaster.
Thus, a little imagination, creativity, a creative approach - and a children's birthday in the style of the minions will turn into an unforgettable celebration not only for the birthday man, but also for all the guests!
