DIY Pokemon Birthday Party Ideas for the Best Birthday Ever!

Pokemon Birthday Cake - make a Pikachu cake with a few printables!

Pokemon Party Food Ideas

There was a “dessert” table at this party. These can get super expensive if you let them, or you can create one in a reasonable way without an overload of items. In other words, keep it simple and it can be done affordably.

First thing I ALWAYS plan is the cake portion of the table. Or cupcakes, depending on the event. For this Pokemon Party, I was feeling lazy and time crunched, so I ordered a 2 tiered cake from the grocery store and put my paper printable Pikachu cake topper on it. Seriously easy. And not as expensive as you think. And it was only a 10 minute time commitment.

Because this was intended to be a low-key party (low-key in my world, anyway!) I kept the food to a minimum. Our Pokemon Party food menu included:

  • Cake
  • Gluten-free cupcakes (for the birthday boy)
  • Super cute Pikachu pops made with Peeps
  • Sugar cookies
  • Cucumber cups with ranch and carrots
  • Fruit
  • Make-your-own Pikachu pizzas

It was plenty for everyone, and there wasn’t a mountain of leftover food at the end!

“Health” and “Mana” were (watered-down) Kool-Aid…although if I had to do it again, I would find a different drink to serve. To make these Pokemon GO friendly, I would rename the drinks something like “Super Potion” and “Hyper Potion.” Which I’ve done to the party printable set if you’re looking at it for your party.

Nikki of Tikkido did another amazing job with the Pokemon sugar cookies. Always in awe of the details she puts on her cookies! It was funny to watch all the kids trading their cookies like they trade their Pokemon cards.


As a side note…custom cookies get expensive. If you want a less expensive option, pick up yellow frosted cookies at the grocery store!

 

Pokemon Pikachu Pizzas - a great Pokemon Party food idea

Kids make Pikachu pizzas – it’s a great Pokemon birthday party idea that doubles as an activity

This was a lunch-time party, so we had to fill the kids up with something nutritious before we let them loose on the cake and cookies. We did a make-your-own Pikachu Pizza bar that also served as a party activity. Kids love anything all that much more if they can make it themselves! My local grocery store puts the pre-made pizza shells on B1G1 special all the time, which made this a super inexpensive menu item in the end!

After we ate, we played. A LOT. See the perfect games and activities for all your Pokemon trainers on the next page.

    What a wonderful party! I love the simplicity of the cake with the paper topper and tail. I also love the Peeps turned Pikachu – I just saw that idea on pinterest the other day and thought it was ingenious.

    Spectacular, as always! I absolutely LOVE the way you did the cupcake toppers on the wires. Such a fun, original twist on printable cupcake toppers! It has a completely different look and feel.

    I really loved the visual organisation of your party. Thank you for some great ideas. I hope my sons party looks as great as yours! Just wondering if you were happy to share the intelligence gathering exercise page. (Pokemon puzzlers – training exercise 1). I thought it would be a great activity while children were arriving. Thanks.

    Hi there! I just bought your package on Etsy. So great! Wondering what the little Pokemon circles are for (called kiss stickers)? Also, I’d love to know what “Beat Team Rocket” consisted of? Thanks!

    After this party you have to be the coolest mom on the block. I love how you separated the details into a separate page, it is so easy to read that way. Your time and budget friendly tips are easily adaptable to any party and this was so much fun to read, thank you!

Meet Paula

My father came home from a trip for work when I was a little girl toting a huge (to me) book of fairy tales. I was instantly smitten with the beautiful illustrations and the stories that came alive from those worn pages. My favorite was always the frog prince…my mother read it to me over and over (and over.) Read More…
