Hunger Games Party Ideas + Free Printables
Hey, Hunger Games fans… I’ve got some fun news to share today! To quote Effie trinket, “You are in for a treat!“. 😉
***
In honor of the DVD release of The Hunger Games this week (hooray!), we’ve teamed up with Walmart to help make your home viewing parties of the movie extra fantastic – which means lots of creative Hunger Games Party Ideas, recipes, and FREE PRINTABLES for you to use!
Download the District/Arena Inspired Printables and Capitol Dessert Table Printables below.
Theme Inspiration
My goal was bring Book 1 to life in “party form” with food and decor ideas that are creative, significant to the story and approachable enough for home entertaining. From a fiery food table backdrop made of crepe paper and DIY mockingjays to “survival themed” place settings and homemade “Capitol Couture” cupcakes, I hope these ideas SPARK some inspiration for your own home celebrations too!
HUNGER GAMES HOME VIEWING PARTY THEME
Scroll down to check out an overview of the theme. Since there are a LOT of different things to cover, I’ll be posting more details – including DIY tutorials and links to download the free printables – in separate posts throughout the week.

CAPITOL COUTURE DESSERT TABLE
Here’s a sneak peek of the “Capitol inspired” dessert table, which I’ll cover in more detail separately. Would you have guessed that the gold poles are actually inexpensive curtain rods from Walmart?! ;)
Everything from the food to the spray-painted flowers is homemade, except for the cake… I couldn’t resist throwing one pro element in there because I knew that Stevi from Hey there, Cupcake! would do an absolutely KILLER job on an “Effie inspired” cake due to her signature bold & artistic style, and of course she didn’t disappoint!
Hope you like what you see so far! Stay tuned for more details.

Best.PArty.EVER!
The best Hunger Games decorations i have ever seen in my life. I just have one question i would like to ask, my 13th birthday is coming up in 2 weeks and I love those plates. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got those plates. The one with the girl on fire and the arena.
Thank you so much.
Hi Katniss, Happy Birthday! The large outer “plate” is called a charger, that was purchased from Party City and painted. The clear plastic plates are also from party city, and the design in the middle is a free download party printable you can get from our post here: https://www.hwtm.com/2012/08/free-printables-the-hunger-games-party-table-buffet/. I’m so glad you like our Hunger Games Party, and I hope it inspired you to make a fantastic birthday party!
This is amazing, I am giving my daughter a 12th birthday party next month and I will use all these great ideas. Wanted to find out where you got the gold frames?
The gold frames are actually .99 cent Ikea Tolsby frames spray painted gold :) Here’s the link: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30151035/
Thank you for your prompt response! I was also wondering what kind of paint did you use and technique to paint the charger plates. I am using mod podge for the clear plates but I would also like to find out your own technique on these. Thank you so much , these are so great, my daughter is so excited buy she will be thrilled when she sees the finished product!
I very like The Hunger Games, I have watched DVD two times. I also want to participate in this party, Can I join? http://58bridesmaid.com
