Gather Supplies and Decorations
The first step to any fantastic themed party is to gather all the supplies and decorations you will need. For a Space Jam themed party, you can find a variety of supplies online, such as banners, flags, and stickers. Or, go to your local dollar store or party supply store and get creative with your decorations. You can also find great Space Jam apparel, like t-shirts and hats, that are perfect for dressing up as your favorite characters from the movie.
Don’t forget to pick up some snacks and drinks that fit the theme. You can find Space Jam themed candy, popcorn, and other snacks to serve at the party. You can also make some fun Space Jam themed drinks, like a “Cosmic Punch” or “Intergalactic Iced Tea”. With a few creative touches, you can make your Space Jam themed party a night to remember!
Make Space Jam Themed Food and Drink
You can’t have a party without food and drinks! Get creative with your Space Jam menu. Instead of ordinary snacks, serve basketball-shaped cookies or cupcakes with colorful icing. For drinks, funny punch recipes with names like Monstar Punch or Star Power Soda will really get the guests in the spirit of the party. You can also make Space Jam themed cocktails that are sure to be a hit.
For a fun twist, you can also make Space Jam themed food. Try making a giant basketball-shaped pizza or a giant cookie with a Space Jam logo. You can also make a variety of Space Jam themed snacks like popcorn, pretzels, and chips. Don’t forget to add some fun decorations like Space Jam themed plates, napkins, and cups to really get your guests in the party mood!
Set the Scene with Music and Entertainment
Next, create a party atmosphere with fun music and entertainment. Start your party off with classic Space Jam tunes, like the Oscar-winning “I Believe I Can Fly” and “Hit ‘Em High” for an epic start to the night. Additionally, break out board games, video games, and other activities themed around the movie. Lastly, rent a copy of Space Jam on DVD or stream it online so that you can share your favorite memorable scenes from the movie.
Create a Space-Inspired Playlist
Put together a space-inspired playlist full of galactic sounds from popular songs from the ‘90s and today. Sure, throw in some classic throwbacks from the era such as “Fly Like An Eagle” or “Space Jam” but also include some funkier tunes like “Galactica” or “Interstella 5555.” Keep the songs upbeat and fun to keep everyone dancing the night away under the stars.
Get Creative with Costumes and Accessories
A party isn’t complete without costumes! Put together costumes for your guests that pay homage to some of the characters from Space Jam. For example, create Tweety Bird hats or dress up like one of the Tune Squad basketball players. For a more subtle look, you can accessorize with Space Jam themed T-shirts and hats.
Give Away Fun Space Jam Themed Prizes
Make sure to provide prizes for those who win the various activities you have planned throughout the night. Outfit them with official Space Jam t-shirts or hats, prizes for trivia games about the movie, and other fun knick knacks like key chains or plush dolls. Your guests are sure to love playing for these amazing prizes.
Capture the Memories with Photos and Videos
Document your special night with photos and videos! You can take silly selfies of your guests in their costumes or set up a tripod and take a picture of everyone in the group. After all, what’s the point of throwing such an amazing party if you don’t have photos to remember it by?
Invite Guests to Share Their Favorite Space Jam Moments
At the end of the night, invite your guests to share their favorite memories from the movie or their favorite Space Jam themed moment from your party. You can also have everyone write their favorite quotes from the movie on a whiteboard or piece of paper so you can keep them safe for posterity.
Wrap Up The Party In Style
Make sure to send your guests home with goody bags filled with special Space Jam goodies as a token of your appreciation for them coming to your party. Plus, who doesn’t love some free party favors?
Now that you know how to throw a fabulous Space Jam themed party, gather your friends and commemorate your favorite movie in style! With the right planning, everyone is in for a night full of fun and nostalgia.
