A Scooby Doo birthday party can be a great idea for both the young and old. The cartoon Scooby Doo has been around since the 1960s so there are just as many adults who love this dog as there are children.
Scooby Doo is a classic cartoon character so finding birthday party supplies, invitations, and cakes should not be hard to do, but here are some wonderful unique birthday party ideas for something different.
Scooby Doo Birthday Party Invitations
There are several different designs of birthday party invitations that feature characters from the cartoon, but a person could easily save money and make their own birthday party invitations. One of these money saving ideas is to simply make a Scooby Doo birthday invitation from some construction paper, paint, and markers.
For anyone who has watched Scooby Doo they will know what the mystery machine is. The mystery machine was the van that the characters drove in from get to their different mystery locations. A unique idea is for the hostess to make their very own mystery machine invitation. Draw the mystery machine on a piece of turquoise paper and then decorate it accordingly with flowers and the name of the vehicle on the side. If it is for a child's birthday party, parents can have the child decorate the invitation.
The information about the party can be written on the backside of the mystery machine invitation or the card can also be made into one that opens up with the party information on the inside. These Scooby Doo birthday party invitations should only cost a few dollars for the paper and envelopes to mail them in.
Scooby Doo Birthday Party Game
What person doesn't like having games at a birthday party, especially if the party is for a younger child? An often-played children's birthday party game is hot potato. The concept of this game is to pass a "hot potato" around to the different players and whoever has the potato when the music is turned off is out of the game.
For a Scooby Doo party, forget about the potato and instead use a dog bone or a large rawhide dog treat. If the party hostess really wants to get creative she can play the Scooby Doo theme music for the game music. Have the guests form a circle and pass the dog bone around until the music turns off. Continue with the game until there is only one child left who is the winner.
Scooby Doo Party Supplies and Decorations
There are all different types of ways to decorate for a Scooby doo birthday party. Party supply stores have a wide selection of Scooby Doo party supplies such as signs, balloons, streamers, piñatas, plates, napkins, tablecloths, cups, and centerpieces. A person can easily use these available party supplies and have no problem having enough decorations and supplies, but there are also some added ways to decorate for a party for a unique twist.
Since Scooby and his friends Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, and Velma seemed to always be hunting down ghosts or staying at haunted mansions, a person could transform their home into a haunted house. This is a great option for a birthday party around Halloween that also has a Scooby theme. The location of the party could also be decorated as a pirate ship or the malt shop where the characters like to hang out at.
Pictures of the whole gang can be hung on the walls as well as a picture of the mystery machine. The ever famous "zoinks" and "jeepers" can be printed on banners with pictures of Scooby and Shaggy on them. Make Scooby Doo masks for each of the guests to wear by printing out a picture of the dog and them making holes for the eyes and mouths and attaching a string on the back of it. These are just some of the unique ways you can work this birthday theme into the party.
There are so many ideas when it comes to a Scooby Doo birthday party. If a hostess is having a hard time coming up with ideas, she should check out a party store for more ideas or simply watch a few episodes of the cartoon. Most of the time the best way to get inspired about a Scooby Doo birthday party is to go straight to the source and come up with some great ideas that the person sees while watching the gang solve their mysteries.
