Personally, I’ve always thought minions were the best part about Despicable Me (besides maybe Agnes). Since I have a feeling many of the kids who have seen these movies would agree, here are some ideas on how to throw the best minion-themed birthday party!

-Order a personalized Minion Banner to celebrate the occasion.
-Some additional themes from the movie are unicorns, moons, ballet, kittens and fun weapons.
-Make large cut-outs of minions, unicorns and kittens and attach to doors and walls.
-A Despicable Me Pinata filled with favors and candy doubles as an activity and a decoration.
-Yellow and blue jelly beans in glass vases make a sweet addition of color to the room.
-Stick 1 yellow and 1 blue paper fan together to make it more minion like.

-Popcorn in Minion bags:
Serve your guests popcorn while they gather for a showing of Despicable Me.
Use yellow treat containers.
Decorate them ahead of time to look like minions.
-Make a snack mix with interesting mix-ins:
Banana chips and chocolate chips and blue M&Ms
Pretzels, peanuts and yellow and blue M&Ms
Marshmallows and grahams and with colorful cereal
Raisins and cereal with blue and yellow candies
-Chocolate Goggles:
Store bought mini chocolate frosted donuts
Gently push a skewer through two donuts carefully so as not to break the donut.
Keep the donuts close together to resemble goggles.
