23 'Trolls' Birthday Party Ideas Your Little One Will Flip Over

From food to decorations, prepare for lots of color!

JOANN

If you spend any time at all with children, then you probably already know: the Trolls movie is still very much a thing right now. Ever since the movie hit theaters in 2016, kids have been steadily obsessed with the wacky-haired creatures—and it doesn't look like that's easing up anytime soon. (Especially since the second Trolls movie, Trolls World Tour, is coming out in April of 2020.) So basically, if your little one has yet to request a Trolls-themed birthday party, chances are, it's only a matter of time before they do. The good news? Thanks to the movie's colorful, happy nature, Trolls birthday party ideas are pretty easy to pull off. (Think: a rainbow color palette, but taken to the next level.) To help you prepare for the bash, we rounded up inspiration for everything you'll need to get the party started. You'll find invitations you can download and print from home, and decorations you can DIY or have delivered to your doorstep. Food-wise, since the movie naturally lends itself to sweets more than meal ideas (no complaints here!), we suggest focusing your efforts on building out an epic dessert table. Don't miss the tie-dye cheesecake and rainbow fudge ideas—they're like works of art! And if you do need to serve a meal? Well, you can never go wrong with pizza delivery!
