Planning a Monsters University Party? Check out these fun and easy party ideas!
We are big Monsters University fans here! I don’t know if it’s the music or the bright colors but my 2 year old is especially fond of the show. When we asked him what kind of party he would like for his 2nd birthday he said “Mikey-ow-ski” and how can you say no to a sweet little request like that?! May was a super hectic month and I really only had about a week and a half to plan his party (not my finest mom moment) so I wanted to go with quick and easy ideas. After getting almost no sleep and stressing about our Star Wars Party I decided to have our party start at night instead of the afternoon. It was perfect because I had more time to get everything done and it wasn’t as hot. If you are having a party in the summer I would definitely suggest a night time party; it’s much more enjoyable when the weather starts to cool down.
Now on to the party details:
Food:
Wanting to keep things as easy possible I went with a few family favorites and then added a couple of new additions. We had RĪ©R Raspberry Lemonade (I used the same recipe as my Sparkling Leia Lemonade) and Sulley Salsa.
We also had Monster Munchies Mix and Mike’s Eye Grapes and Dip. 
I used a veggie tray and filled it with grapes around the perimeter and used this fruit dip recipe for the inside with 4 blueberries to make his pupil.
And of course what kind of party would it be without cupcakes?! Check out the tutorial for these Sulley and Mike Wazowski cupcakes/
Fun:
Knowing that my party was for younger kids I didn’t want to have too many games but we did have a few. Keeping with the scare competition games we had a Toxicity Challenge (a.k.a water balloon fight). What kind of summer party would it be without a water ballon fight right?! Then we played hide and seek; perfect for little ones. The Mike Wazowski piƱata was the hit of the party…no pun intended.
Favors:
I don’t like sending home goodie bags full of sugar but I did have to add a fun treat; Monsters Rice Krispie Treats and fun & bright Monsters Play Dough; check back next week for the tutorials.
All the kids (and grown ups too) had a scare-tastic time and for the party planner it was an easy one to plan too! Do your kids like Monsters University? Whose their favorite character?

I love this post, I am forwarding it to my daughter. Monsters Inc. has a special place in my heart. When my daughter was 4 this movie came out and she was totally obsessed! She’s 17 now and we still love it! Pinning!
Sydney says
Thanks so much Roxanne! I loved this movie too (even though I was a teenager when it came out) I think it’s so fun when we can build memories around movies with our kids.

This is adorable! Especially the Monster Munchies! My son and I went as Mike and Sulley a couple of years ago, he would’ve loved this party!
