Birthdays are all about celebrating the special someone in your life, and what better way to do that than with a party bursting with personality? If you’re looking for a theme that’s guaranteed to spark joy (and maybe a few tears!), look no further than Disney Pixar’s Inside Out!
This movie takes us on a whimsical journey through the headquarters of Riley’s emotions – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. It’s a celebration of all the feels, making it the perfect theme for a party that’s both fun and heartfelt.
But where do you even begin? Don’t worry, friend! We’ve got you covered. This guide will help you plan an Inside Out birthday party that’s as unforgettable as Riley’s first hockey game. We’ll share amazing tips, tricks, and – the best part? Free editable PDF invitations to get the party started!
Setting the Stage for Emotions!
First things first: decorations! Transform your space into Headquarters with colorful streamers, balloons in all five emotion colors (yellow for Joy, blue for Sadness, red for Anger, green for Disgust, and purple for Fear), and cardboard cutouts of Riley and her emotions.
Here’s a fun twist: create a “thought bubble” photo booth where guests can hold up thought bubbles with silly or heartfelt messages. You can even provide markers and construction paper for them to create their own!
Food Fit for Headquarters
No party is complete without delicious food! Here are some fun ideas to keep your guests fueled for all the emotional adventures:
- Joyful Jello Cups: Layer different colored jello to represent each emotion.
- Rainbow Veggie Sticks with Dip: A healthy and colorful snack everyone will love.
- Anger Management Meatballs: Serve these in a red crockpot with a playful sign.
- Disgustingly Delicious Worms in Dirt: Chocolate pudding with gummy worms – a classic that’s sure to get a giggle.
- Fearsome Finger Foods: Hot dogs cut into little “fingers” with spooky dipping sauces.
Don’t forget the cake! You can bake a regular cake and decorate it with the emotions, or get creative and make cupcakes in each emotion’s color.
Games that Spark Joy
Now, let’s get to the fun part – the games! Here are a few ideas that are perfect for an Inside Out theme:
- Pin the Core Memory on Riley: Blindfold guests and have them try to pin a core memory (a picture or piece of paper) on a giant picture of Riley’s head.
- Emotion Charades: Act out different emotions for guests to guess.
- Inside Out Obstacle Course: Set up an obstacle course with different challenges to represent each emotion (jumping for Joy, crawling for Sadness, etc.)
- Headquarters Scavenger Hunt: Hide clues around the party space that lead to a prize, each with an emotional theme.
