When I planned Ari’s third birthday party, I scoured the web for inspiration. He was dead set on having a Minions party. Admittedly, Minions isn’t my favorite movie. But who’s to argue with a (nearly) three year old?? Not I, friends!


- Cotton Candy (from the amusement park scene)
- Giant lollipops (as ‘unicorn horns’)
- Cheetos (the caterpillar that never turned into a butterfly
- Cookies (cookie robots!)
- Lemonade (anti-gravity serum)

- Chips + Salsa (El Macho inspired)
- Bananas (or banana runts)
- Jelly (jelly sandwiches)
- Cupcakes (from Bake My Day cupcake shop in the movie)

- Make macaroni rockets by gluing elbow macaroni onto paper!
- Use squirt guns as “freeze rays” during free play.
- Use popsicle sticks, yellow + blue washable markers, and googly-eyes to make little minion ‘puppets.’
And don’t forget about posting the “Party Rules”!

PS.ย The Minions have totally grown on me a bit… ๐ Just don’t tell anyone.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter + Instagram to keep up with all of our happenings!ย
These are so great party ideas! I love how you labeled everything!
I’ve been scouting the web for first birthday inspo and this is it! My little munchkin loves the minions! He is mesmerized. His dad and I love descpicable me, so it’s only natural ?
that’s great!! my brothers would love it
Cute with a Minions theme for a birthday party.
My kids are both obsessed with Minions and I’ve been thinking about one of their birthday parties this year going with that theme. Thanks for sharing!
So fun! I love that the cheese puffs are caterpillars! ๐
This is seriously the best birthday party for my son, he loves Minions! My husband would love it too, because he’s a child at heart.
What a cute party! Good job!
Believe it or not, I had a minions party for my 21st bday ???
We are huge fans of Minions. I am actually surprised we’ve never had a Minions party.
What a GREAT IDEA!!! I LOVEEE this!! thanks for sharing. Im planning my sons birthday right now.
This is the cutest idea ever. My daughter is OBSESSED with the minions. She went as one for Halloween. Her third birthday is coming up so I may have to consider this. I just have to muster up the strength.. I’m creative but run a business, work full time, and mother three children, so I tend to fall flat when it comes to big celebrations. Sad, I know. Thanks for the creativity and inspiration!
I swear this one was easy — it’s basically all premade food! Haha! ๐
These are all great ideas! The only thing that could make it better is if we figured out how to make the giant sombero hat full of guacamole! My son will be five this summer, and so far he’s had mostly Minion birthdays. I’m wondering if he’ll have another one this year! ๐
OMG I thought THE SAME THING!! ๐
Everything looks awesome! My nephew loves the minions!
Everything looks so cute! I love the cake! My almost 8 year old wants a Pokemon party this year, so I need to start planning!
