Plan a Bluey birthday party at home with supply quantities for 8, 16 or 24 guests, simple decorating ideas, games and a practical preparation checklist.

A Bluey birthday party at home is easier to plan when you start with the guest count, one decorated table, and a short activity list. For a cake-and-snacks celebration, use the checklist below to plan for 8, 16, or 24 guests without guessing how many packs to buy.

Start with our Bluey birthday party supplies, then fill any gaps with solid blue and orange tableware. You do not need a character print on every item to make the theme feel complete.

Your Bluey party checklist for 8, 16 or 24 guests

This starting plan allows one snack plate and one cup per guest, plus two lunch napkins per guest. It covers one cake-and-snacks serving, with no spare plates or cups included. Count adults who will eat or drink too. Add separate meal plates if you are serving lunch, and extra cups or plates for replacements and second servings.

Pack-count tip: divide the quantity you need by the quantity in one pack, then round up. If you want 20 plates and each pack holds eight, buy three packs for 24 plates. For the exact guest counts above, adding one spare eight-pack gives you a cushion for dropped plates and unexpected guests.

Choose the tableware before the decorations

Bluey 7-inch snack plates come in packs of eight and work for the cake-and-snacks place settings in this plan. Pair them with Bluey lunch napkins, 16 per pack. Put one napkin at each place and keep the rest in an easy-to-reach stack.

If you are serving a full meal, add appropriately sized meal plates from our disposable plates collection. Keep those separate from the snack-plate quantities above so that cake time does not use up your lunch settings.

For drinks, check our paper cups for available sizes and colors. Solid-color cups are an easy substitute when matching character cups are unavailable. Check the pack count before ordering; cup packs do not always contain the same number as plate packs.

Build one blue-and-orange focal point

Choose the cake table, snack station, or a wall behind the table as your main decorated area. Keeping the strongest decorations together makes a small room feel coordinated and leaves the rest of the space available for play.

1. Cover the table. The Bluey plastic table cover is listed as 54 by 84 inches, with one cover per package. Measure your table and allow for the overhang you want before choosing a cover.
2. Add the place settings. Use the printed plates and napkins as the character details. Keep serving dishes simple so that food is easy to reach.
3. Repeat two colors. Browse blue party decorations and orange party decorations for accents. A few coordinated pieces around one table can be enough.
4. Leave a clear activity space. Put drinks and food away from the main play area and keep doorways open.

If you include balloons, follow the product's inflation instructions and keep them away from young children. An air-filled balloon will not float like a helium-filled balloon. You can also keep the setup balloon-free with tableware, paper decorations, and a birthday banner.

Three easy activities for a home party

Choose two activities and keep one in reserve. For younger children, have an adult lead each activity and let children join at their own pace.

1. Musical statues

Play a favorite party song and invite everyone to dance. Pause the music and ask the group to freeze. Keep everyone in the game instead of eliminating children; the fun is in the silly poses.

2. A blue-and-orange picture hunt

Make large blue and orange paper shapes and place them around the room where children can see them. Ask everyone to point to a color or find a matching pair. Use large paper pieces instead of tiny hidden prizes, and keep the search within one supervised room.

3. A quiet coloring corner

Set out age-appropriate crayons and coloring sheets on a separate surface. The official Bluey birthday page is a useful place to look for activities and party resources; follow the instructions and usage terms for anything you download.

A simple 90-minute party plan

• First 15 minutes: welcome guests and offer a quiet activity.
• Next 20 minutes: play musical statues and the color hunt.
• Next 25 minutes: serve snacks, sing happy birthday, and enjoy cake.
• Final 30 minutes: allow relaxed play, take photos, and say goodbye.

Use this as a sample schedule, not a rule. Adjust it around your child's routine and the age of the guests. Have the table ready before arrivals so you can spend the party with your guests.

What to prepare before party day

• Once the guest list is set: count everyone eating, decide whether you are serving a meal, and calculate package quantities.
• Before ordering: check product availability, package contents, delivery estimates, and table measurements.
• The day before: group the supplies by table, set aside serving utensils and cleanup bags, and prepare the paper activities.
• Before guests arrive: arrange the table, put out spare supplies, and clear the play area.

Bluey party planning questions

Do all the supplies need to be Bluey-branded?

No. Printed plates or napkins can establish the theme, while plain blue and orange pieces fill out the table. This also makes it easier to work around unavailable products.

How many packs do I need for 16 guests?

For the cake-and-snacks plan above, two eight-packs of snack plates and two 16-packs of lunch napkins cover the starting quantities. Add at least 16 cups, spare supplies, and separate meal plates if needed.

Can I use the same plan for a third birthday?

Yes. Keep the decorations concentrated around one table, choose short adult-led activities, and allow a quieter space for children who need a break. Adjust the food, activities, and favors to the ages attending.
