Party Idea - Gnomeo and Juliet

Gnomeo and Juliet Party

Here's a great idea from a double birthday party we threw for our daughter and her friend a few weeks ago. It was tremendous fun, the kids had a ball and the parents did too!   The movie is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet with some great music by Elton John.

Here are some great tips if you want Host a Gnomeo and Juliet themed party:

Are you a Red or a Blue?

Decorate with these two bright colors, hand out blue and red beads when each guest arrives (which will be used later for team games).  Take the theme throughout the party, 1/2 red and 1/2 blue table coverings, red and blue plates, napkins and cups, blueberries and strawberries, red and blue cupcake papers.....you get the idea!

Host a Lawn Mower Race!

Blue team and red team face off for the lawn mower relay.  Each Gnomeo and Juliet takes a turn at racing around the cone and back and passing the plastic lawn mower to the next guest.  It's a scream!  You can pick up these cheap mowers for around $14 each and spray paint them Red and Blue (make sure to use spray paint that is designed for plastic).

Quick shopping list:

CVS has Gnomeo and Juliet garden Gnomes

Plastic Flamingos
Plastic Mowers

Table cloths in Red and Blue

Cups in Red and Blue

Bead Necklaces in Red and Blue

Fun Balloons to decorate (red and blue of course!)

  

Another wonderful part of this movie is that it is only 84 minutes long!
