Shrek Party Decorations: Get Dirty

For decorations, the colors green and brown are your friends. Set up streamers of different green and brown hues from the ceiling to mimic vines. Matching balloons, table cloths, napkins, plates and utensils will help tie everything together. Finally, consider incorporating real or fake plants to create a realistic atmosphere.

Shrek Party Food: Go Gross


Ready to get creative? Spend some time with the birthday kid to come up with outrageous Shrek-themed names for menu items and label them accordingly. You can easily turn hummus into Ogre Ear Wax, mini meatballs into Donkey Poop, yummy smoothies into Swamp Slush, and chocolate pudding into Mud Puddles, topped with crumbled chocolate cookies and gummy worms!

First, find a gingerbread cookie recipe and make your cookies the day before the party. Set up a table with the gingerbread men, different colored icing, piping bags, gum drops, and other assorted colorful candy for decoration. Guests will have a blast making their own unique Gingys. BONUS: Send the cookies home with guests in cellophane bags as party favors.
