So rely on Peerspace for awesome party venues and these “Minion” party ideas to delight your little one!

1. Start your party off right with Minion invitations

In order to have a Minion party, you’re going to need to set the stage. So sending out Minion-themed invitations is a great way to get your guests prepared for the theme – we love these ones from DigitalPxArt on Etsy. They give you the option to print them or save the paper and send digital invitations.

2. Rent a yellow event venue

One of the most defining features of the Minions is their bright yellow color. So hosting your party at a venue that already has plenty of yellow decorations or furnishings is a shortcut to let you focus on other Minion party ideas.

Peerspace, the internet’s number one location for hourly party venue rentals, has you covered with eclectic spots like this downtown Arlington event space with an outdoor patio. There are tons of cute little yellow touches here. In fact, take a look at some of the chairs and hanging lamps that could easily be turned into Minions for your party.

Another perk that comes with using Peerspace to book spaces? You can read genuine reviews from past reviewers before making a decision! And this Arlington event space has plenty of raves. Like this one: “This space was great for hosting a birthday party! Plenty of room for a large crowd and we love the kitchen space. Everything was super clean and tidy.”

3. Turn every guest into a Minion with party hats

An easy way to get everybody at the party moving and shaking like Gru’s henchmen is to get everyone dressed up like the Minions. Doing Dishes Making Wishes has a tutorial for making your own Minion hats that won’t have you blowing your entire party budget. Another fun way to do it is by purchasing yellow classic party hats and drawing little Minion eyes on them.

Something nice about the small-statured creatures is that you can easily get balloons that will make it feel like you’ve got a real Minion right in your living room. This set of two from Amazon of fan favorites Stuart and Dave will be a surefire hit at any Minion party.

5. Get creative with your Minion treats

The simplistic design makes it super easy to pull off some really fun Minion party ideas.

The printables make it super easy to bake some unique treats for your guests!

6. Throw a Minion pool party

If you’ve got a little one with a summer birthday, then throwing a Minion themed pool party is a great way to cool off and celebrate. Yellow water balloons can easily be turned into Minions and an inflatable banana would be the envy of any little Minion.

Don’t have a pool of your own? Don’t worry – Peerspace has thousands available, like this party, pool, and lounge at a spacious four-acre home near Houston, TX. The host offers you access to their gorgeous pool with a waterfall, a pergola, a charcoal grill, Bluetooth speakers, and more. Talk about a party kids and adults alike will love!

“The place was beautiful as advertised,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “Our family who gathered for a family gathering had a great time at the facility. We enjoyed every bit. Wonderful and lovely cosy place. Would definitely recommend.”

7. Have some healthy options with bananas and “bapples”

We know that the Minions can’t get enough of their favorite foods, bananas and “bapples”. With some stickers like the ones seen on these bananas from Catch My Party, you can turn an average bunch of bananas into something that all the kids will be scrambling for! This is one of those Minion party ideas that both kids and parents can cheer for.

8. Put on your own movie with a Minion puppet show

Gather all the kids around for a recreation of your favorite Minion moments with an easy DIY puppet show! This tutorial for Minion finger puppets gives you all the info you need to complete this fun arts and crafts project. Get the kids involved and then have them make a replica of their favorite from the series.

9. Set the soundtrack to a Minions playlist

Their high-pitched voice might be enough to drive a parent a little crazy after a while, but kids love to hear them sing too and that will add another layer of fun to the party when everyone starts dancing! Spotify has a handy playlist of all the essential tracks sung by and about Minions.

Whether they have two eyes or only one, most of the Minions also wear a distinguishing pair of goggles to keep them safe during their antics. This pack of eight from Amazon is a good start for getting all of the kids running around and doing their best Stuart and Dave!

11. Make it rain candy with a Minions pinata

A kid’s birthday party wouldn’t be complete without the birthday kid taking a swing at a pinata and letting the candy fly. Let them work off some energy while they try to bring down this evil Purple Minion pinata from PartiesbyDenisse at Etsy. As for what candy to fill it with? We suggest Banana Runtz!

12. Throw a Minion watch party at a private movie theater

Your kid probably has that one Despicable Me or Minions movie that they’ve watched a million times and can’t wait to show their friends. A fun way to let them relive the experience of seeing on the big screen is by renting out your own private movie theater!

This is another job for Peerspace. Along with party venues, you can even rent out spots like this professional private movie theater in Los Angeles, CA.
