Survivor Party Ideas

I planned a survivor party and it was a blast!

I made the invitations on brown colored scrapbook paper. I crumpled the paper and burned the edges to make it look worn and old.

As guests arrived, I gave them each a straw hat and a colored bandanna to signify their team.

I begged and borrowed and a bought a couple of palm trees to decorate the party area. I hung a fishing net on the wall and attached plastic fish to it. i also put up a lot of tiki lights.

We played several games. The one that was the most fun and challenging for some was the Eating Contest. I placed individual food items into Ziploc bags and put all the bags into a large grocery bag. While blindfolded, each person had to reach in and pull out a bag, open the Ziploc, and eat their item. Once that person finished eating their item, the next person on the team would do the same. The first team who ate all their food first were the winners. I used things like dill pickles, blue cheese, peeled grapes, cooked spaghetti and sauce, spicy deviled eggs, grapefruit juice, and prune juice. We also had a scavenger hunt and played survivor trivia.

For food, I served rice and seafood and virgin daquiris.
