Both of my kids have been Minecraft nuts since the first one of them got their first “big kid tablet” and could start playing Pocket Edition. After eventually getting the full version of the game for PlayStation, their love for Minecraft went next-level. Between the time they spend in Creative or Survival, playing Story Mode, and watching their favorite YouTubers play (DanTDM, StampyCat, and Pat and Jen have practically become part of the family), this game has become a big part of the kids’ lives. Fortunately, it’s a very creative and kid-friendly game, so we don’t mind. In fact, we love seeing the creative structures the kids construct, and watching them learn teamwork when they play in Survival together. I figured it was just a matter of time before one of them requested a Minecraft party. Though my seven year-old has been playing longer, it was my youngest that requested a Minecraft birthday party first. Here are the details from his Minecraft-themed 5th birthday party from a few weeks ago, including Minecraft party food ideas, Minecraft party decorations (like a cool DIY Minecraft birthday backdrop), Minecraft party favor ideas, and free Minecraft birthday printables.

Minecraft party food ideas
For food and beverages, we tried to stick with food items from the game, or foods that looked like other Minecraft blocks and crafting materials. See a link to the Minecraft birthday printables at the end of this post.

This is FABULOUS! Thank for the ideas and for your free printables.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Thank you, and you’re welcome!
Henna says
I love your ideas, but I struggle to get the printables, I’ve liked your FB page but still no luck
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Thank you! I am sorry you’re having trouble with the printables. They are all available on this page: https://fabeveryday.com/2016/06/fab-everyday-party-printables.html (click or scroll down to get the Minecraft printables). Each of them is available in Google document links to PDF files that should be available for public download. Depending on the device you’re trying to access them from, your device may restrict downloads from site like this (sometimes that happens when people are on work computers, and I have also seen issues accessing Google files from mobile devices at times).

Hi, thank you for the wonderful ideas and printable! I tried to print them but a google error message appears 410 “the server cannot process the request because it is malformed” I was hoping you might know a way around this or be able to email them to me in a different format or something? Super bummed i couldn’t get it to go through. Thank you in advance for any help 🙂
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Hi Lisa – can you shoot me an email with the specific printables you wanted, so I can reply with the PDF files directly? I have not heard of this issue yet, but I would love to help you figure it out so you can use them for your party. My email is [email protected].
Karla says
Your post is so difficult to read with all the ads!! Love your ideas but don’t like so many pop-ups that cover up most of your post.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I appreciate your feedback, and I am sorry for the inconvenience the ads caused. These display ads are how I make a living, so I appreciate your patience with them.

How did you make the cupcake topper with a cricut?? I’m assuming I’d have to get a specific thing to put in it to make the zombies?? (Sorry I’m not crafty and don’t use my cricut much 🙈)
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Yes, I used my Cricut for those. You can find a simple image for the Creeper head (which is what I did; here’s one: http://thecraftchop.com/entries/svg/minecraft-creeper and you might need to search for something similar for a zombie), and upload it to the Cricut Design Studio website to make it into a cuttable pattern. Here are the instructions from the Cricut website: https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009556313-Uploading-Images-into-Design-Space. After printing it with an extra black square (for the back of the cupcake topper), I hot glued a toothpick using the method from this post: https://fabeveryday.com//2014/09/diy-cupcake-toppers.html
I hope this helps!
