Modern ‘Nut Job 2’ Party

Today, we’re excited to partner with The Nut Job 2 to throw a modern kid’s party inspired by the movie! Heading to the movies is a great way to get out of the summer heat. The Nut Job 2 is the last kids movie of the summer, so it’s the perfect hoorah before school starts back up! We jazzed up our party with colorful details and treats inspired by the movie and its characters. Read on to see more details and download our free party printables!

Modern 'Nut Job 2' Party | Oh Happy Day!

To make our party feel fresh, we decided to incorporate bright colors, rather than just traditional woodsy neutrals. We drew inspiration from The Nut Job 2’s characters (have you seen Surly, the purple squirrel?!) and spray painted animal figurines and pinecones to make bright party decor. To keep with the theme, we served a variety of nuts, circus peanuts, and my personal favorite: peanut butter cookies! We also made these darling acorn printables that you can use as place cards or gift tags. Go nuts! To finish things off, we made acorn favor boxes from vending machine capsules! You can fill these with little treats or prizes to give to your guests (they’re perfect for tiny hands!). Now, all you need is to see the movie, in theaters August 11th (psst… you can check out the trailer here!)

    What a unique party theme! I think you found a perfect mix of neutrals and bright colours! I’m really craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich now ?
