Have you heard? The First Family is coming home on DVD October 1st. In celebration of the arrival of CROODS, we’re planning a pajama party with friends!
You know me, I love celebrating and getting friends together. Party planning seems to be my forte. And with the help of Fox Home Insiders, I think we’ve got all the bases covered!!!
First, I headed on over to my local Walmart to get some ideas. When I start party planning, I generally pick a Theme: Croods PJ Party, and colors!!! I’m thinking the green and orange are my going to be my palate!
Then it’s all about the food! With a “prehistoric” party, the main course certainly needs to be “Dino Nuggets”.
And we need other snacks – like “Caveman Clubs”
Then for some decorations, but I think I’m going to get our guests into the decorating too – maybe bring their favorite sleeping bags and pillows to get comfortable!
A great party needs activities!!! And our friends at Fox have provided us with some ideas to interact with the movie and guests:
For instance, The Croods Creature Creator gets your creativity flowing by drawing two characters as one.
Or how about creating your own family photo and making this adorable picture frame?
I think the kids will certainly get into character with these adorable masks.
Now it’s up to you! What would you utilize to make a great “Croods” themed party? You still have a week to put the ideas together to celebrate the DVD Release. In fact, I’m giving away a copy of the DVD to one lucky family:

My party planning tip would be to make sure you have enough food. Also, stock up on drinks and snacks just before. You can also ask others to help pitch in by bringing chips or other items to help out.
I try to organize as much as possible ahead of time to avoid last minute stress!
try to menu plan ahead of time so it’s not last minute.
Cook the food ahead of time.
Always get more food than you’d expect people to eat! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to or thrown a party that ran out of food.
ALWAYS buy more than enough food. Running out really bites for everyone.
My best tip is plan well in advance and prepare food items the night before.
Have extra plates, cups, utensils etc. You never know when you will need more. Oh, and make sure they are paper/plastic party ware so you don’t need to do so many dishes.
get plenty of everything and plan ahead
Get everyone involved! In lieu of gifts, have them chip in with food.
have a alot of food 🙂
ask everyone to bring something and be specific!!
