If you or someone you love is a big fan of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, then a Demon Slayer Birthday Party is the perfect way to celebrate! This anime is full of courage, friendship, and adventure, and its colorful characters make it an exciting theme for kids, teens, or even adults. Whether you love Tanjiro’s kindness, Nezuko’s charm, or Zenitsu’s funny personality, this party theme will bring everyone into the thrilling world of Demon Slayers!
Invitations
Start your party off strong with invitations that show off your love for Demon Slayer. Choose a design that includes the anime’s signature colors—black, green, red, and blue—or use character designs from Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke.
You can easily find printable templates online, or you can make your own using free design tools. Add the Demon Slayer logo or Tanjiro’s checkered pattern to make it stand out. You can also encourage guests to come dressed as their favorite Demon Slayer characters, it will make the party even more fun!
For the wording, try something fun like:
- “Join the Demon Slayer Corps for an Epic Birthday Battle!”
- “Grab Your Nichirin Sword—it’s Time to Celebrate [Name]’s Birthday!”
- “Demons Beware! [Name] is Turning [Age]!”
Decorations
The decorations are what will bring your Demon Slayer Birthday party to life! Use the anime’s distinct patterns and colors to set the mood. For example, Tanjiro’s black and green checkered pattern, Nezuko’s pink kimono print, and the fiery red tones of Rengoku can be mixed throughout the space.
You can hang banners that say “Welcome to the Demon Slayer Corps” or “Happy Birthday, [Name] the Demon Slayer!” Use black, green, and red balloons for a strong, anime-inspired color palette.
Decorate walls with posters or cardboard cutouts of characters like Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the Hashira. You can also use string lights or lanterns to mimic the soft glow of the anime’s traditional Japanese setting.
Set up a fun backdrop for photos—maybe a forest or mountain scene where Tanjiro trains, or a red flame background inspired by Rengoku. Add a few fake swords or props for guests to pose with.
Demon Slayer Party Decoration Set: Banner, Plates, Cups, Balloons, Tablecloths, Background Cloth
Don’t forget the table setup! Use matching tablecloths, napkins, and plates featuring Demon Slayer designs. You could even place small fake “Nichirin Blades” (made from cardboard or foam) as table accents.
Centerpieces
Centerpieces are a great way to add themed touches to your tables. You can make your own Demon Slayer Birthday centerpieces easily.
One idea is to use small action figures or Funko Pops of the characters. Place them on a base wrapped in Tanjiro’s checkered paper or Nezuko’s pink pattern. Surround them with small LED lights or red and orange tissue paper that looks like flames.
Another creative idea is to make sword centerpieces. You can use foam or cardboard swords painted black and silver, then place them standing in jars or containers filled with colored sand or stones.
For a more natural touch, you could use bamboo sticks and greenery to reflect the show’s outdoor scenes. Add name cards or quotes from the anime like “Stay Strong,” “Never Give Up,” or “Fight for What’s Right.”
If you want something simple, decorate vases with green ribbons, and place paper cutouts of characters sticking out like bouquet decorations. Guests will love seeing their favorite heroes up close!
Games and Activities
The best part of a Demon Slayer Birthday party is definitely the games and activities! You can turn your space into a training ground for little demon slayers.
Here are some fun ideas:
1. Demon Slayer Training Course:
Create a small obstacle course in your yard or living room. Kids can crawl through tunnels, jump over “rocks,” and practice “sword swings” with foam swords. At the end, give them a “Demon Slayer Certificate” for completing training.
2. Demon Hunt:
Hide small demon-themed toys, stickers, or tokens around the party area. Give guests clues to find them. Whoever finds the most demons wins a prize!
3. Tanjiro’s Water Breathing Game:
Set up a bubble-blowing contest where players must blow the biggest bubble—representing Tanjiro’s “Water Breathing” style.
4. Pin the Bamboo on Nezuko:
A cute twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Use a big Nezuko poster and paper bamboo pieces that guests have to pin while blindfolded.
5. Anime Trivia or Bingo:
Create a trivia game or bingo cards based on characters, quotes, and episodes from Demon Slayer.
6. Sword Crafting Station:
Let kids decorate their own foam or paper swords with markers, stickers, and washi tape.
If you want a quieter activity, you could play episodes or clips from Demon Slayer in the background or set up a photo booth with props like masks, swords, and fire effects.
Food and Drinks
Food is a huge part of any celebration, and your Demon Slayer Birthday menu can be both delicious and themed! You can get creative by naming dishes after characters or special moments in the show.
Main Dishes:
- “Tanjiro’s Rice Bowls” – small rice bowls with grilled meat and vegetables.
- “Inosuke’s Boar Burgers” – mini sliders or pulled pork sandwiches.
- “Rengoku’s Flame Chicken Wings” – spicy chicken wings or tenders.
- “Zenitsu’s Lightning Fries” – golden fries with cheese sauce.
Snacks:
- “Demon Chips” (any crunchy chips with a fun label).
- “Butterfly Garden Treats” – colorful candies or cupcakes inspired by Shinobu.
- “Nezuko’s Sweet Bamboo” – green candy sticks or chocolate-covered pretzels.
- “Hashira Mix” – a trail mix with red, green, and yellow candies.
Desserts:
Make your cake the centerpiece of your food table! You could have a fire-themed cake with red, orange, and yellow frosting, or a tiered cake decorated with the characters.
Cupcakes are also a great option—each one can represent a different character with matching frosting colors and symbols.
Drinks:
Set up a “Potion Station” or “Hydration Corps” with colored drinks like blue lemonade, red fruit punch, and green melon soda. Label them as “Water Breathing Elixir,” “Flame Fuel,” or “Thunder Power.”
You can even serve milk tea, boba, or Japanese snacks like mochi, Pocky sticks, and rice crackers to match the anime vibe.
Party Bag
End your Demon Slayer Birthday with fun and creative party favors that guests will love. These can be simple but memorable keepsakes from their adventure.
Here are some ideas:
- Mini Swords or Keychains: Foam swords, sword pens, or Demon Slayer keychains are always a hit.
- Stickers and Buttons: Pack small bags with Demon Slayer stickers, buttons, or pins.
- Sweet Treat Bags: Fill small bags with red, black, and green candies. Label them “Demon Energy.”
- Bookmarks or Masks: Printable character masks or bookmarks make great gifts, especially for older fans.
- Glow Sticks: Call them “Demon Slayer Energy Blades.”
Place the favors in small black or green paper bags decorated with checkered patterns. Add a thank-you tag that says, “Thanks for Joining the Demon Slayer Corps!”
