Plants vs Zombies Birthday Party

When our son turned 6, we threw him a Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare birthday party.  With Halloween approaching, I thought it’d be appropriate to share these PvZ party ideas for you!

We ordered the cake from a local cake shop, For Heaven’s Cakes.  They did a fantastic job honoring exactly what I requested.  The characters are all handmade edible chocolate pieces!

I printed a banner from this Etsy shop and then printed a few graphics from an internet image search to make the food labels and decorate the table.  All of the food, except the cake, was store-bought because I needed quick and convenient.  There were so many creative ways to relate the food to a Plants vs Zombies reference so it was fun!  Below is the menu in photos:

I found these water bottle labels from this shop and wrap them around mini bottles.

We had a pinata in the shape of a zombie head.  I had to get creative with this one.  I couldn’t find a PvZ specific pinata to buy, so I found a Day of the Dead pinata at Walmart that was in the same shape I needed for a zombie head.  So, I just had to tear off it’s eyes, spray paint it green, and glue new zombie eyes on.  Voila!  Judah LOVED it.

We made the kids wear a zombie mask during their turn.

I made sure each kid had a green baggie to scoop up their own candy stash once the pinata burst open.

Another activity the boys enjoyed was putting together their own zombie paper dolls.  They got a kick out of making their own zombie.  I bought the template from this shop.

I do not have photos of it, but they also played a PvZ Bingo game I found here.

My favorite part of the party (and I think the kids’ favorite part, too) was giving each of them a homemade marshmallow gun so they could run around our yard shooting balloon zombies.  I also set up prints of zombies and taped on our fence for targets.  Each party guest got to take their gun home.For the zombie balloons, I bought green helium balloons from the grocery store and used a Sharpie to draw on simple zombie faces.

These party favors were fun to put together.  Again, I found a free image through an internet search and printed, then cut it out and taped it to the small pots with a green ribbon.  I filled each pot with zombie-themed goodies.  You can find a bunch of good cheap party favors during Halloween!

Lastly, I requested all the boys to show me their zombie walk.  Such good sports!  haha!

We really had a great time with this party.  Although there were a ton of wild boys at our house at once, it was a nice day to have them outside running around in the backyard and shooting marshmallows.  Fun time by all!

(Party invitations were ordered from this shop.  I do not have a photo of our exact one. Please leave a comment below if you have questions about any of the Plants vs Zombies party information above.)
