If you’re looking for Fortnite Party Ideas that’ll win a battle royale I’ve got your back! Use these DIY Fortnite party supplies to put together Fortnite decorations, as well Fortnite party games, for a fun Fortnite Birthday party!
My teen son is like many others, and even adults right now, fighting to the finish in FORTNITE . I’m not a big video gamer but I gotta be honest, even I enjoy watching him play.
He and his 17-year-old sister are hanging out several nights a week playing. The twins even want in on the action. You can see why I planned a FORTNITE birthday party over the weekend!
FORTNITE Party Ideas
Fun and Easy FORTNITE Birthday Party
For food, I served regular pasta, cake, and ice cream at his FORTNITE birthday party. Everything else was FORTNITE themed.
I think I did a pretty good job considering there were no FORTNITE party supplies in stores at the time. Now there are tons of them but you can still make these DIY Fortnite decorations too!
With a little Google searching on Gamepedia (I didn’t even know that was a thing!), I came up with some fun FORTNITE party ideas. Best part, they are super simple to put together.
In FORTNITE, the form of currency is V-Bucks. Sugar cookies with white frosting and blue writing gel made the perfect V-Bucks Cookies.
They are actually more greyish blue in the game so swirling the blue and white together first would have been a better idea. Now I know for next time.
When playing FORTNITE you want to find chests hidden throughout the game. They contain things like guns, ammo, and medical items.
My mom had an old wooden chest lying around at home so I borrowed it. Perfect for filling with Rice Krispies Medic Bandages.
Cut up Fruit Roll-Ups worked great for putting a red cross on each of the Rice Krispies treats. Are wondering about those cupcakes with purple chocolate on top?
That was just me trying to recreate Shards but I sort of failed at that, lol! I used purple melting chocolate and drizzled onto wax paper in the shape of lightning.
Slurp Juice is one way to heal yourself in FORTNITE. My son is always talking about Slurp Juice and Chug Jugs so I knew one of them had to be part of the FORTNITE party.
Blue Gatorade in glass milk bottles with a printable Slurp Juice label I made! Simply wrap around the bottle and tap or glue down.
FORTNITE PARTY SUPPLIES
Throughout the game, there are Supply Drops. These drops often have better loot than the chests I mentioned. Loot Drop Goody Bags filled with blue colored candy make great Fortnite Party favors.
They were a favorite of the kids and super easy to make. Yellow balloons filled with helium tied on to blue party bags with Loot Drop written on them. Easy peasy!
I wanted my husband to climb on the roof and drop them down to the kids while they played NERF guns, but it ended up raining the day of the party so all the fun was indoors.
Another FORTNITE party idea is to print off FORTNITE Battle Royale Maps and hanging them on the wall as a banner. My son quickly pointed out which maps I should have printed. Apparently Twisted Towers was a must and I forgot it.
FORTNITE PARTY GAMES
The Loot Drop Goody Bags also worked great for collecting candy from the Llama Pinata. It might be a donkey – my husband and I argued about that.
There are Llama Pinatas in FORTNITE that are filled with rewards so of course, we had to have one at the party! Finally, the boys played FORTNITE at the party and other Fortnite Party Games include:
- NERF Gun Battles inside or outside
- Set up wood pallets around the yard with a variety of toy weapons and let the kids have a Battle Royale in the yard.
- My son loves showing me the dance movies his characters can do in Fortnite. Crank up the music and have a dance-off in the living room!
- Hide around the yard with NERF guns and as the party guests arrive, ambush them as they try to get inside the house for the party!

These were so helpful!! Did a few for my son’s party last week. In addition we served tacos(apparently there’s a taco shop in the game).. and I blew up about 50 balloons and did a yellow balloon drop(bought kit at party city) Inside some of the balloons was prizes like money.. and there was candy that rained down with it too..
Chris says
Forgot to say we also had a ton of water balloons and water guns.. was perfect for a 10 yr old party!
Lisa Collins says
Those are awesome ideas!! Loving the balloon drop idea! I recently saw an idea with “pallet” walls and the kids ran around with NERF guns.
Kris says
What did you use to make the storm cupcakes?
Lisa Collins says
Chocolate cupcakes with blue frosting and for the lightening bolt I used purple Wilton melting chocolate and put it in a baggy and squeezed the chocolate out into the shape on parchament paper. I let it harden in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Using the baggy was a bit messy because the chocolate was warm but doing it with a spoon wasn’t giving me the shape I wanted.
Melissa says
Wow, those are some great homemade ideas for a Fortnite birthday party!
I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to the game while my son is playing it to get more ideas, but the cookies, slurp juice and rice krispie treats are top-notch ideas!
I’m going to check out the rest of your blog right now, thank you!!!
Lisa Collins says
I’m glad you enjoyed them! The game launched new things today so I’m sure there are even more ideas to add – I’ll have to get planning a Fortnite 2.0 party lol!
Terri says
Hi- these are great ideas. My son is turning 10 and thinking of doing this for his party. How did you set up all the kids to play at your house?
Lisa Collins says
Hi Terri! We only had 6 kids had the party and they played Nerf guns out in the yard for a while and then took turns playing Fortnite on Xbox One after eating. If you can find free or cheap pallets they are great to set up for hiding places around the yard – you could get crafty and paint them camouflage or leave them as is.
