Party Decorations
For this party I went with a lime green (Mike Wazowski’s color) and teal (Sulley’s color) color scheme. The table clothes, forks, spoons and cups were purchased from Oriental Trading, in those colors. Oriental Trading also carried Monster’s University dinner and dessert plates.

They were super cute and reasonably priced so I grabbed them. They also had a Monsters University backdrop and life sized cut out of Mike and Sulley. I knew Joshua would love them and they would make great pics, so I grabbed them as well. The backdrop came with little cardboard cutouts to decorate it with but instead, I used those cutouts to decorate the walls and our deck.
I also strung lime green and teal streamers around our deck. I purchased a Monster Inc pack of balloons online about a month before the party but on the day of the party, I couldn’t find them anywhere! We went to Party City hoping they carried Monsters Inc balloons and luckily, they did.
We also found out that helium fill ups are free when you purchase balloons from their store, even if you buy them ahead of time and go back to have them filled on the day of your party (just bring your receipt with you). I had no idea! We will definitely be purchasing our balloons in store from now on.
Party Entertainment
As always, we rented a bouncy house for the party. I feel that it’s the best way to keep the kids entertained and to let the parents actually have some time to mingle with each other. We also rented a cotton candy machine from A-Z Rentals.
We rent from them every year and have always had great experiences. Their equipment is always clean and in great working order and best of all, their rentals are from Friday to Monday so no running around on the day of the party.
For a little extra fun, we had a big cardboard cut out of the Student ID cards from Monsters University. All of the kids, and some of the adults, had a blast having their pictures taken! Like all of our other parties, this party was a huge success and I had so much fun pulling it all together! I hope you find these tips and ideas helpful in throwing your little monster the perfect Monsters Inc Birthday Party!
Party Games Ideas
Our first game was an eyeball spoon race using ping pong balls with eyes drawn on. They were cheap, so everyone got one to take home too. The kids wanted the extra challenge of holding the spoons in their mouths. We were indoors, but the race was still a riot!

Then, keeping with the pajama theme, we had a sleeping bag race, done just like a sack race! That was even more fun–everyone wanted to race again! Note: we only had Barbie sleeping bags, and the boys wouldn’t go anywhere near them. They sat out the race!
Finally, we used a white sheet as a background, laid it on the floor, and had the kids lie down with their hair standing straight up and took fright pictures!
