DIY Five Nights at Freddy's Party

Having a Five Nights at Freddy's Party and want some DIY ideas?

Keep reading to see how you can throw an inexpensive FNAF party!

This year my daughter wanted a Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) themed birthday party.  The first thing I said was "huh?!?".  I had no idea what FNAF even was let alone how I was going to make that happen.  After my daughter gave me a short explanation of what FNAF was and I started thinking "I can't believe this is a game I actually had no idea my kids were playing", I went to work trying to figure out how I was going to pull it off...cheaply.

Obviously I could get online and just order a pack of the FNAF party supplies but that's pretty costly and I think those packs look pretty generic.  So armed with a printer, cardstock and my experience over the course of 13 years of DIYing my kids birthday parties each year I went to work planning a FNAF birthday party.  

The Dollar Tree is always my first go to for party supplies.  They don't always have everything I need but they are the place to start because what they do have is only $1 each!  I picked up balloons, some tissue puff ball thingies (yes that is their official name...I think?), table confetti, popcorn bags, table clothes, paper plates, cups, utensils and napkins.

Next I stopped at Party City.  I know, I know...Party City doesn't scream DIY but...I wanted premade FNAF items that were just easier to buy than make, like the table centerpiece...I would have spent more money and time making one than just buying the $8 one they had.  They also had a door cover and a window decoration.  Total spend there...$18.

I stopped at Walmart and ordered cupcakes.  Of course they did not have FNAF themed ones even though they have every other theme ever.  Oh well, it's not the first time I've made plain cupcakes fit the theme I wanted.  I purchased cupcakes with a bright pink frosting.  Then I bought mini Oreos and M&Ms and used them as eyes.  Apparently one of the FNAF characters is a pink cupcake.  I think total for the cupcakes, M&Ms and Oreos I spent $10.  I could have made them myself and saved money but the cupcakes are like $7 for a dozen at Walmart so I saved myself the trouble of making them.

Next is always my favorite part...using my printer.  I printed off several pictures for the walls that I found on Google.  

I found water bottle labels for free here.  

I also made a "Happy Birthday" banner.  I was lucky to find that for free here.  

I also found a pizza banner for free and printed that out.  I used string and cut up straws to put it together.

I printed out a FNAF image that I found on Google and used that to make napkin rings.

I created a popcorn station by covering a bookshelf with a table cloth.  I then put popcorn containers and bags on it with several different popcorn seasonings that I already had.  Since the party was in the media room in the basement we already had a popcorn machine next to that bookshelf.  Some table confetti and the tissue puff thingies hanging completed the station.

I made a string of balloons to hang over a few table clothes that I hung over a part of the wall to make the backdrop.  I put the banners over that.  I hung the items I got from Party City.

I ordered a couple pizzas for the kids.  They ate popcorn and watched movies.  It was a pretty simple yet very fun party.

Alright, I think I explained everything I did to throw this FNAF party.  I must admit I still don't quite know anything about FNAF but my daughter couldn't tell.
