Tucker’s The Office Themed Birthday Party

Yes, I know, The Office isn’t exactly appropriate for thirteen-year-olds. Or eight-year-olds. And some episodes aren’t even appropriate for 42-year-olds. Despite that, the kids and I spent the summer evenings from 7 to 8 pm watching The Office. Chuck was working a bazillion hours out of town and I was done by that time in the evening. After watching The Office, I would read out loud to Apollo, and (finally) it was bedtime. This “family bonding time” made Tucker’s choice of an Office-themed birthday party easy.

Decorations for “The Office” Themed Party

We had a ton of fun brainstorming ideas for this easy and fun party. We bought this It Is Your Birthday sign from Amazon. I was just going to buy the brown and gray balloons locally, but as it turns out, it is hard to find brown balloons (I never did find any), so I ended up wishing I had just gone ahead and bought these balloons. We ended up making do with white balloons and guess what? Nobody cared.

As for other Office-themed party decorations, I used my light box for the Welcome to Scranton, PA sign. I first saw the lightbox on Tilly’s blog and knew I needed one of my own.

The Office-Themed Party Decorations

It Is Your Birthday. Sign

Along with barely blown-up balloons and crepe paper (from the episode when Dwight and Jim plan Kelly’s party).

Cardboard Vending Machine

So many jokes, conversations, and sometimes tears take place at the office vending machine. As it turns out there are tons of DIY vending machine ideas online. We weren’t worried about it functioning, we just wanted it to look like a vending machine. Hezekiah got a few ideas online and made this cool vending machine with a hot glue gun and cardboard. I covered it with duct tape and we filled it with snack items. Inspired, Hezekiah went ahead and made a mini-fridge as well.

Most of our other decorations revolved around food….because…YUM.

In one episode Michael brings “homemade potato salad” to a formal event. And admits it was actually store-bought.

Schrute Farm Beets

I just bought canned beets and served them.

Big Tuna

Tucker didn’t exactly want tuna at his birthday party so we used Swedish Fish.

Nard Dogs

The main dish: hot dogs.

Jims

Instead of nerds. In one episode Dwight is eating nerds but says they are “Jims”

Scott’s (Tater) Tots

I think this is self-explanatory.

No Office-themed party would be complete without a stapler in jello and a Happy B-day cake with a single chicklet and the birthday boy’s name spelled wrong.

    Yes, The Office is probably not appropriate but it’s so much better than many other choices. My 13yr and 16yr old spent their summer watching it since we couldn’t do a fun vacay . They LOVED your party ideas. I asked their favorites and they both said “legit, all of it”. Job well done!
