Doctor Who Birthday Party

The Cake

Doctor Who is a great theme for a fancy cake:

• Make the Tardis or a Dalek cake, making it 3D, or use some creative icing on a rectangular cake
• Blue velvet cupcakes with white icing and blue star sprinkles, or use some great character cake toppers
• Create the solar system with the Milky Way and planets
• Cake pops will also make a great solar system, or turn them into the characters

• Musical statues
• A Doctor Who quiz where guests name the characters and aliens from a description.
• A Doctor Who treasure hunt or a team race where individuals or groups must be the first to save the doctor
• Tag – where participants are tagged by the “baddies” and released by The Doctor
• A Tardis piñata
• Or a craft station where guests can make a mask or monster using some household recycling materials
• For an older crowd a Time Lord Twist would also be fun

The Extras

There are a lot of official Doctor Who products that can be used, however you can also create an amazing party using some clever ideas

• Set the scene right from the start by sending a fun invitation eg. “…come to my party and travel to another dimention”,  “…come to my party or you will be exterminated”, “this party is going to be out of this world …”
• Use a Tardis, Cyberman or Dalek invitation
• Or encourage guests to come in costume, by making the invitation a mask that can be reused in a Doctor Who and friends versus enemies and aliens encounter
• Use lots of stars, planets, blue, black and gold for decorations, balloons, table cloths, etc. to create an outer space atmosphere
• Helium balloons for a centre piece, banners, hanging swirls and streamers are great decorations
• Life size cardboard cut outs of The Doctor and the other characters placed in the area
• And the party bags can have a Time Lord twist by using crazy lollies, stickers, balloons and slime
• A Doctor Who T-shirt or a space themed Lego pack for a very special favour
• And photos from the photo booth with a thank you message for a great memory
