Do you like the King of Monsters, Godzilla? If so, why not expand this monster’s presence to the real world by having a fantastic Godzilla party? Whether it is a birthday party, movie night, or an occasion just to enjoy the genre, this post guides you in planning a proper celebration for the King of Monsters. Indeed, from decorations to snacks and activities, we’ve got you covered.
Decorations
Creating the perfect atmosphere is key to any themed party, and it's no different when it comes to a Godzilla party. You will want to transport your guests into a world where giant monsters roam the Earth, so let's start with the basics. And while at it, why not make things even more exciting? On this website, you can place a fun bet on which kaiju will reign supreme—adding a thrilling twist to your monster-sized celebration.
Color Scheme
Stick with a color scheme with dark greens, grays, and blacks sprinkled with reds and blues. These colors will make one think of the city-destroying mayhem Godzilla is so known for. You can use tablecloths, balloons, and streamers in these colors.
Backdrop
You will need a cityscape background. You can make your own big cardboard cutouts for the skyscrapers or order a backdrop online. This goes behind the main party area to give the impression that Godzilla is looking over a city. Add artificial fog in order to enhance the effect of destruction.
Godzilla Figures and Props
Place Godzilla action figures or inflatable toys around the party area. You can even go big with a person-sized Godzilla standee for a fun photo opportunity. To add a bit of drama, place toy cars, army men, and tanks like they are some gigantic battle scene.
Table Settings
For the table settings, use plates, cups, and napkins with Godzilla or other kaiju characters on them. If not, plain black or green tableware will suffice. For a unique touch, make place cards that look like crushed cars or buildings, as if the monster has stomped his way through.
Snacks
No party is complete without some tasty snacks, and Godzilla demands creativity in the kitchen. Think big, bold, and monstrous!
- Godzilla Footprint Cookies: Bake or buy large footprint-shaped cookies and frost them with green icing. These can be Godzilla's “footprints” across your snack table. If you are feeling extra creative, add small dinosaur or lizard details in order to mimic monsters.
- Tokyo Tower Cupcakes: Bake cupcakes and pipe on frosting in the color of the Tokyo Tower. Set the tower frame by placing black or red licorice sticks on the cupcakes. Place a small Godzilla toy or cake topper near the base of the tower as if he's about to knock it over.
- Monster Punch: Make a green or blue punch to serve as “Godzilla's Monster Juice.” For an added foggy effect, add some dry ice or drop in some gummy sharks or dinosaurs for an added surprise. Serve in clear cups so all can see the “monsters” inside.
Activities
Once your guests have been wowed by the decorations and filled up on snacks, it is time for some Godzilla-themed activities. Whether you're entertaining kids or adults, these games will ensure that each one goes home with a big smile.
Monster Mash Dance Party
Start off the party with a Godzilla-themed dance. Create a playlist of Godzilla movie-inspired songs or any monster-themed music. Let the guests show their best monster impersonation on the dance floor. You can even add a dance-off where participants show off the most monstrous dance moves.
Pin the Tail on Godzilla
A spin on the fun classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” this game involves a large poster of Godzilla but without a tail. Blindfolded players try to pin the tail in the right spot. Simple, yet it's always a winner. Add in some campy Godzilla roars, and it gets even better.
Godzilla Movie Marathon
Finally, it's time to send off the party with a Godzilla movie marathon featuring several of the classics or even the latest blockbusters. Have a very comfortable viewing area prepared with pillows galore and blankets. Of course, there will be “Atomic Popcorn” and other refreshments.
