Monsters Inc Party Supplies

Monsters Inc was a very popular children’s film, and it makes an excellent party theme for kids, or even for adults. Holding a Monsters Inc party allows the host to really let their hair down, with wild and crazy colours, creepy characters, and ghoulish food! Everyone should be able to have a great time with these fun characters, and their home of Monstropolis. There is a fantastic range of Monsters Inc party supplies, so there is really no excuse for not holding one! If you have anything left over from Halloween, perhaps these could be added to the Monsters Inc party supplies box – you never know when some dusty plastic spiders might be needed. Aside from that, there are plenty of trademarked party items which will really help your monster party go with a swing.

Planning a Monsters Inc party couldn’t be simpler. Plan ahead, and make sure that you can get all the necessary Monsters Inc party supplies in time; then go ahead and let your child invite as many children as they want. There are invites available fairly cheaply in packs of twenty, and creative parents can feel free to go wild and make their own invites, perhaps with drawings of the characters, or maybe something creepy – remember the party is all about monsters, scaring things, and having fun. Some children may wish to come along in costume, and that should be encouraged, as it will add to the atmosphere of the party; children can also be supplied with monster masks and colouring pens (this is one way to keep them quiet for a while), so that they can feel a part of the whole ‘monster’ experience.

Decorating the party area is a great excuse for exercising your creativity: the space should be made hospitable to monsters, so remember that there should be plenty of darkness, maybe creepy streamers hanging from the ceiling, and soft ‘mossy’ coverings on all the furniture. The theme of the evening can be brought out with Monsters Inc party supplies, such as Monsters Inc mylar balloons, banners and posters, as well as plenty of balloons in various ‘monster colours’, as well as any monster related items you can borrow from the neighbourhood. For good effect, the host might want to make a ‘Monsters Inc’ corporation sign, and hang it over the party area entrance. Another good way of creating atmosphere is to play the Monsters Inc soundtrack.

The tableware can continue the theme of the party, as there are plenty of Monsters Inc party supplies party ware, including dessert plates, cups, and lunch plates, a table cover, and plastic tumblers with monsters on them. Tableware can often be bought in packs, which cater to 8 children (including the birthday child), and includes plates cups balloons and so on; a parent whose child has invite the whole class might consider using these discount items as a way of saving more of the budget for other Monsters Inc party supplies.

A Monster’s Inc cake can be made using a normal sponge with a Monsters Inc cake topper, or Monsters Inc cake decoration figurines; or a more creative parent may wish to download an image from the internet, press the image into the cake’s icing using a toothpick, and then colouring in the image with the relevant icing/colourings. Other items to consider are Monsters Inc cupcakes – normal cupcakes with a little circle of picture added on to them – which can be provided for the child when they arrive. Generally, other finger party food can be served, but be sure to give them ghoulish names to keep the theme going.

As Monsters Inc is a successful movie, an idea for a party is to set up a television in your dungeon – sorry, party area – and let the kids watch the film. It is one good way of keeping them occupied for a while, and can allow the adults to relax and get on with laying the table and getting the food ready – it also prevents them running about and finding where the birthday cake is hidden. Of course, the kids will also need other games – perhaps “pin the tail on the monster”, or a scavenger hunt with the aim of finding a monster – other Halloween based games will also serve as good sources of entertainment for the children. A theme jigsaw puzzle may also help to keep the children occupied while they wait for everyone to arrive.

At the end of the party, most children will be expecting a loot bag to take away with them. This has become a tradition at kids’ parties, and the loot bag usually contains a piece of the birthday cake, a toy, and some kind of other ‘treat’. Luckily, since Monsters Inc is such a popular film, there are plenty of trademarked toys and goods which can be bought up and used as part of the ‘loot’ – Monsters Inc party supplies should include party favour boxes (which contain hats, ‘blowers’ stickers and balloons; peelable tattoos, small pose-able toys, and other assorted kinds of pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, and generally any small gift that can be put into a bag (of course adults will have to take care and consider the age of the children receiving the goods). More generous parents might consider small soft toys or figurines from the show.

It is not only kids who enjoyed the show, so if adults wish to have a Halloween ‘Monsters Inc’ themed party, it should be acceptable – of course with more grown-up fans, the games should be more complex (a more difficult scavenger hunt, maybe), and alcohol can be used to create ‘monstrous’ punch and other kinds of drink. Parents may also participate in the children’s party, turning up in monster costume, or helping them to colour in masks, or search for prizes. It doesn’t matter what age the birthday girl or boy is, so long as the event is organised so that they have fun, and are happy, then the party went well.
