We’ve got all the tips and tricks you need to throw a Big Mouth birthday party that’s as memorable as it is monstrously fun. Plus, we’re throwing in a bonus – totally FREE downloadable and editable Big Mouth birthday invitations to get the party started!
Setting the Stage for Puberty Power:
First things first – the ambiance! Transform your party space into Bridgeton Middle School with some creative decorations. Think streamers in school colors (blue and yellow!), lockers made from cardboard boxes, and posters featuring the iconic hormone monsters – Maurice, Connie, and the ever-disgruntled Rick the Hormone Monstress. Glow sticks are a must-have, as are some strategically placed strategically placed whoopie cushions (just be prepared for some giggles!).
Activities: More Fun Than a Hormone Surge!
No party is complete without some epic activities. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- The Hormone Obstacle Course: Set up a wacky obstacle course that incorporates the different hormone monsters.Participants can crawl through a “Tunnel of Love” (made with blankets and chairs), dodge “Shame Wizards” (played by friends with toilet paper rolls), and answer trivia questions about the show to appease the “Anxiety Mosquito.”
- Pin the Puberty on the Hormone Monster: This classic game gets a Big Mouth makeover. Draw a large image of a hormone monster (Maurice is a popular choice) and create puberty-themed “pins” like pimples, bad breath, and mood swings. Blindfold the players and let the laughter commence!
- DIY Hormone Monster Masks: Provide construction paper, markers, glitter, and other crafting supplies and let the kids create their own personalized hormone monster masks.
Fueling the Fun:
Let’s face it, birthday parties can be a hungry business. Keep the energy levels high with a selection of snacks and drinks inspired by the show. Pizza is a crowd-pleaser, and don’t forget the magic of puberty punch (fruit punch with a splash of grenadine for a bit of a “hormonal” kick!).
