How to Throw an Epic Among Us-Themed Party for Your 7-Year-Old

Planning a birthday party for your soon-to-be 7-year-old can be a lot of fun, especially when the theme revolves around something they absolutely love. If your child is a fan of Among Us, the wildly popular game of mystery and teamwork, you’re in for an adventure! With a little creativity and planning, you can transform your space into a crewmate-worthy celebration.

Here’s how to pull off the ultimate Among Us party

Decorations: Transforming the Space

Set the stage by recreating the spaceship vibe:

• Color Palette: Stick with the primary colors of the crewmates: red, blue, green, yellow, and black.

• Balloons: Get crewmate-shaped balloons or use plain balloons with printed cutouts of visors.

The Cake

The Cake

The centerpiece of the party was the Among Us crewmate cake. This simple but effective design brought the character to life! Here's how I did it:

1. Shape: I baked a rectangular cake and trimmed it into the classic crewmate shape.

   1. Icing: The cake was covered in bright blue icing to match a crewmate’s uniform. I made a Egg out of White chocolate, using White and Yellow for colour the icing, in which I covered the White Chocolate. I used white frosting for the helmet area and added some blue shading for dimension.

2. Topper: A vibrant "Happy Birthday" topper added the perfect finishing touch.

   
   

This cake was easy to customize in terms of color, so you can match your child’s favorite crewmate!

The Pinata

A highlight of the party ALWAYS is piñata.

1st Find yourself a Grandma(NANA) that is talented and makes your kids a Piñata every year or head to your locate Dollar Store or Party Shop for one.

• Design: The pinata was shaped like a crewmate, with green and blue fringe creating a colorful and textured look. I even added a party hat to match the birthday vibe!

• DIY or Buy: You can either make one yourself using cardboard and tissue paper or purchase a pre-made pinata and decorate it to fit the theme.

• Fillings: We filled ours with candy, small toys, and stickers—a treasure trove of goodies for the kids to enjoy.
