Donut You Want A Donut Party Ideas

Those yummy round pillows of dough make my heart sing. They would be the perfect party theme. So donut you want a doughnut party?

First things first. Is it spelled doughnut or donut? Doughnut is the original and most common spelling. Yet, donut is also acceptable but much less common. For this post let’s stick with donut…..I’m kinda wild like that!

The Cutest Donut You Want a Donut Party Ideas

Donut Themed Invites

Finding a donut themed invite is as easy as going to Greetings Island. Your search results will be different depending on if you use the spelling “donut” or “doughnut”. Greetings Island allows you to customize the invite and then save it to print out or send it via text or email. Best part, it’s free!

Donut Grow Up Balloons

Nothing is more festive for a party than balloons. These “donut grow up” balloons would be perfect for any donut themed birthday. Even better, you can grab them from Amazon. Easy peasy!

Donut Backdrop

Every donut deserves its own bakery vibe! A bakery backdrop makes the perfect focal point for your party. Use it behind your treat table or as a fun photo booth background. While the original backdrop I loved is no longer available, I found another adorable bakery-themed backdrop that will make your party pop.

Donut Piñata

I have yet to meet a child who does not LOVE a piñata. Make that piñata a donut and it’s going to be love at first sight. Donut piñatas are sold in many stores and online.

Donut Craft

My 7 year old went to a donut themed birthday party recently. She came home with this donut craft. It is SO simple and my daughter was SO in love with the donut she created. We talked multiple times about the number of sprinkles she chose to put on it and she also wrote on the back of her donut. The donut pictured below is done on cardboard but the one my daughter brought home was just made with card stock. Such an easy craft to throw together for a party but SO fun for the party goers to design.

Donut Wall

One fun way to display your donuts for your party is with a donut wall. This wall from Target (the one is no longer available, but I did find this double pack donut wall at Amazon) comes in a 2 pack so it can hold 18 donuts. Don’t limit yourself though. If you have skills you want to pull out then you go right ahead and build your own donut wall. It’s an extra fun way to carry on with your donut theme.

Additional Creative Donut Display Ideas

Beyond the donut wall, there are plenty of fun ways to display your sweet treats:

• Use tiered trays to create a visually appealing donut tower.
• Arrange donuts on individual cupcake stands for a fancy touch.
• Fill large glass jars with donut holes for a grab-and-go option.
• Create a “donut buffet” by offering a variety of flavors, toppings, and glazes for guests to mix and match their own custom donuts.

Donut Party Favor Ideas

Send guests home with sweet memories by giving them donut-themed party favors. Some fun ideas include:

• Personalized donut boxes filled with a fresh donut for each guest to take home.
• Mini donut kits where guests can decorate their own donut at home.
• Donut keychains, stickers, or mini plush toys for kids.

Fun Donut Party Games

Add some excitement to your donut party with games that fit the theme:

• Donut on a String: Hang donuts from strings and challenge players to eat the donut without using their hands.
• Pin the Sprinkle on the Donut: A fun twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
• Donut Decorating Contest: Set out frosting, sprinkles, and toppings, and let guests create their own masterpiece.
