Calling all Among Us fans! If your child is a big fan of this game of teamwork and betrayal, plan an epic Among Us themed birthday party jam-packed with colorful party decorations, a creative food menu, and engaging games and activities to make one birthday celebration to remember.
Party Invitation
Set the theme to your party with a festive invitation. Get inspired by all the creative Among Us themed invitations available online that will help you develop the theme and bring your event to life. An Outer Space Among Us theme would give you more opportunity to get creative with the party details, for example. Be sure to send out invitations at least two weeks in advance.
Party Decorations
Opt for effortless party decorations, such as party banners and balloon bouquets that require little to no assembling. A crewmate printable pennant banner and colorful Among Us themed balloons will brighten up the room and get your space party-ready. If do-it-yourself party decor is a must whenever you plan an event, a balloon garland with DIY balloon planets and star foil balloons added to the mix would make a fantastic eye-catching backdrop.
DIY Balloon Planets
Making balloon planets is an easy craft that even the kids can help and requires two types of balloons only.
Supplies Needed:
- Round balloons in different colors
- Long metallic silver balloons
Instructions:
- Inflate your round balloons about halfway full and tie a knot. Tip for perfectly round balloons: Press down from top and bottom as you slowly release air. Tie the balloon. Firmly but gently press down top and bottom again until the balloon is perfectly round.
- Inflate a long metallic silver balloon about halfway full. Make sure the inflated balloon will reach all the way around the round balloon tightly, forming a hoop.
- If the long balloon is the right length, slide it over your round balloon. Tip: You can attach the long balloon using dabs of low-temp hot glue to make sure it stays put around your round balloon.
Kids' Tablescape
If you are planning on setting up a kids' table, coordinating tableware is a must to complete the look of your party set up. From themed plates to party blowers, be sure to create a tablescape that will excite your guests.
Birthday Cake
Turn a simple black buttercream cake into something intergalactic by decorating it with white nonpareils and piping Among Us crewmates using buttercream in different colors. If decorating a birthday cake is not your expertise, book a cake decorator to make it happen.
Imposter Piñata
No party is complete without a piñata. Incorporate an imposter piñata the kids can smash and collect candies and mini toys. Have kids line up to take a swing at the piñata with a plastic piñata bat.
Among Us Inspired Party Food and Sweet Treats
Get creative with your Among Us party menu. From a crewmate fruit and veggie platter to cupcakes adorned with Among Us themed toppers, these ideas will take your party menu to next level.
- Fruit & Veggie Tray: The possibilities are endless when it comes to this unique Among Us inspired fruit & veggie tray. If your child prefers a red crewmate, incorporate cherry tomatoes, raspberries, and diced watermelon. For a yellow crewmate, offer diced pineapples and yellow bell peppers, for example.
- Cakepops: Cake pops make a wonderful addition to a dessert table. Place cake pops in a jar or display them in an acrylic cake pop stand.
- Decorated Cookies: Coordinating cookies can be simply displayed on a stand as part of your dessert table or incorporated into place settings for a personalized touch.
- Lunch Box: If you are planning an intimate party and it is happening around lunch time, this Among Us lunch box idea will impress the kids. Be sure to include fruit, veggies, and a sandwich (either peanut butter & jelly or cheese) that will appeal to the kids.

A crewmate felt plushie is a cute idea to keep the kids occupied during a birthday party. All you need is a crewmate pattern, felt in different colors, and batting. Instead of sewing, glue the pieces together using a non-toxic felt glue for a more kid-friendly craft.
Pin the Hat on the Crewmate
Have a large crewmate and a few different cosmetics printed on white cardstock. Blind fold each player and allow them to try to pin the pieces of their choices on the crewmate. There are five types of cosmetics: hats, skins, nameplates, visor cosmetics, and pets. Cosmetics are items in Among Us used to customize characters.
Paint-Your-Own Among Us Crewmate Character
