Video Game Themed Birthday Party

My son turned 10 last December and he picked a video game theme for his birthday. We focused on XBOX and the black and green colours. It was fun to put together!

X is for XBOX...

We had the boxes from our XBOX consoles in the basement, so we set those out...

Put our original XBOX out as well...

I had a chalkboard banner that I wrote "GAME ON" on...

My husband's childhood Super Nintendo and games were on display as well...

I had the Minecraft Happy Birthday banner, the Game On chalkboard banner, and then I had a banner I made with images from classic video games and more current ones that I found online and printed off...

For the pizza at the family party, I made printables to label what each kind of pizza was...

I covered the bottles of pop in black and white wrapping paper and labeled those as well. I found the Nintendo controller bottle labels online and printed those off for the water bottles...

Simple "X" cupcakes that looked like the XBOX symbol...

My son loved it all!

For his friend party, I did similar food, just for less people.

I labeled the pizza boxes again at his friend party. He wanted to just have a few friends over to play video games, of course! :)

For party favours, the kids each got a Minecraft cup with a chocolate bar with the Nintendo controller wrap on it...

I added out a few more treats at his friend party since it was a bunch of kids...

Green Jello as "Gamer Jello"...

Skittles as "Power-Ups"...

The Oreos with mint green icing in the middle for "Gamer Oreos"...

I did the same cupcakes for his friend party...

For his real birthday when it was just our family, he wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and they even had a Minecraft one!

I really enjoyed putting this party together for my son. 

He totally loved it, which makes it all worthwhile!
