DESIGN: MINECRAFT INSPIRED PARTY INVITES

Minecraft is a simple yet fascinating video game. 

It's the sandbox-building world. 

Just like a kid's block set, Minecraft uses blocky imaging to create an easy-to-manipulate sandbox. 

Gamers can build anything their creativity will allow out of the basic building blocks found in the game. 

Following this theme, your invite need not be high-res or super complicated to suit your party. 

You can create a custom invite with the free online design tool "Canva" or use one of our free party invites (download PDF). 

DRESS UP: THE PERFECT WAY TO START THE PARTY

Kids love to dress up as their favourite characters, and Minecraft is no exception.

Let the guests go all out with their costumes (far right). 

HINT: for those who don't come in costume, have some red capes with block patterns ready to go! (right)

DECORATE: Bring Minecraft to Life

The world of Minecraft is made of boxy blocks. 

Do you know what is also boxy? 

That's right!

Cardboard boxes. 

Find old cardboard boxes around your house or go to the local office supply store to pick up a few packets.

Then you and the birthday child can paint them green and brown. We have an easy-to-use Cheat Sheet for decorating your Minecraft craft. Click here.

Alternatively, let the kids get creative, painting trees and lakes. And some mountains are just like they see in the game. 

Short on time?

That's okay!

You can hire inflatable shapes from us instead. Add on a camo net to throw over each of them, and voila! You have a Minecraft world in your backyard. 

DISCORD: Minecraft Game Play 

Monsters like Zombies and Creepers add a little excitement to the game by attacking the gamer's character.

Because these monsters are depicted in low-res, they are not too scary. One of the popular game modes in the video game Minecraft is "Minecraft Tower Defense".

And we have a game that feels just like it. 

It's called "Capture & Hold". This game is best played twice, that way each team gets a chance to defend the tower.

You'll want to book the Bundle Pack of Awesome Taggers. Find the packs in our shop!

First, set up a designated section of your backyard as the Minecraft Tower in the middle of your playing area. 

To build your tower, you can get some cardboard boxes from your local Bunnings or local hardware store.

Then paint them up in blocked colours. (See the Minecraft Cheat Sheet for decor Ideas.)

Place the game box in front of your Minecraft Tower. 

• One team, the defenders, plays the Builders. 
• The other team, the attackers, plays the Creepers. 

Each player gets five hit points. When the players have been tagged down to zero, the unit issues a sound effect. 

It says: "You're Re-activated. Return to Base!" So the players run back to their "base camp" (wherever you've placed the team's medic box) to get a re-activation.

The defenders have their medic box placed at the south end of your garden. 

The attackers have their medic box placed at the north end of the backyard.

(Or wherever! Ideally, place the medic boxes just out of sight of the other teams' base.) 

DINE: END THE PARTY WITH A BANG!

Whether you're doing a lunchtime party, a sleepover, or a BBQ, your guests want to eat. Adding a theme to your food is a great way to keep the party spirit strong. 

A simple option is to find boxy/square-shaped food or make your own - like the Rice Krispies pictured. 

IDEA: When making your cake, bake it in a square tray, then layer several on top of each other so that they form a square.

Brown and/or green icing is the perfect way to top them off. 

Add some extra sweetness to the layers, such as blueberry or nectarine jam, or stick with the classic strawberry. 

And now you are ready to go!
