A Rick and Morty Party is an excellent way to bring the wild and wacky world of the animated series to life for fans of all ages. With its mix of sci-fi, dark humor, and unique characters, you can create a memorable event that’s as off-the-wall as the show itself. Here’s how you can throw a Rick and Morty-themed party:

1. Invitations

The invite sets the tone for your party, so make sure it’s interdimensional and exciting.

  • Portal Invitations: Design invitations to look like portal gun portals, with the iconic green swirling vortex and images of Rick and Morty peeking through. You can use Rick’s portal gun or floating heads to give it a cool, authentic touch.
  • “Get Schwifty” Invites: If you want to have fun with it, create invitations that read something like, “Prepare for a party that’s gonna get schwifty!” or “Join us in another dimension!”
  • Customizable: Include a line for guests to dress as their favorite characters (whether it’s Rick, Morty, Summer, Beth, or Mr. Meeseeks), and add a dimension-bending element like “You may encounter different versions of yourself…”

2. Venue & Decor

To make your venue feel like it’s straight out of the Rick and Morty multiverse, focus on creating a chaotic, colorful, and trippy atmosphere.

Color Scheme

  • Neon Greens: The color of Rick’s portal is essential, so use lots of neon green lighting and decor.
  • Bright Pinks, Blues, and Purples: To match the colorful, mind-bending visuals of the show, add these bold tones throughout the room.
  • Blacklight: Use blacklights for an extra trippy, otherworldly glow. Glow-in-the-dark decorations like stars, planets, or Rick’s face can add a surreal effect.

Decor Ideas

  • Portal Cutouts: Make large cutouts of the iconic portal from the show and place them around the space. You could have a “Rick’s Lab” area where you set up props like lab equipment, flasks, and bubbling liquids.
  • Sci-Fi Props: Use futuristic sci-fi props like aliens, spaceships, and robots (or even print images of the Meeseeks Box or Pickle Rick).
  • Rick’s Face: Have giant Rick faces or Morty heads placed around the venue for an immersive vibe.
  • Green Slime: Use slime or green-colored decorations for a slimy, science-y look, reminiscent of the crazy adventures in the show.
  • Glow-in-the-Dark Stickers: Place glow-in-the-dark stars, planets, and geometric patterns on the walls to make it feel like you’re traveling through space and different dimensions.

3. Food & Drinks

Get creative with your party menu by serving interdimensional-inspired foods and drinks. Incorporate references to favorite characters or moments from the show.

Food Ideas

  • Pickle Rick: Serve pickle-flavored snacks or even pickle-themed dishes like pickle chips or a pickle platter.
  • Szechuan Sauce: Serve your favorite chicken nuggets with Szechuan sauce (a nod to the infamous episode with Rick and Morty‘s love for the sauce).
  • Morty’s Munchies: Serve fun finger foods like mini sliders, chips, and dip that can be grabbed while running through the multiverse.
  • Rick’s Science Snacks: Use test tubes, beakers, or flasks as serving containers for drinks or snacks like popcorn, candy, or mini desserts.
  • Meeseeks Snacks: Serve blue-colored foods and drinks as a tribute to the Meeseeks (e.g., blue gelatin or blue cupcakes).
  • Interdimensional Pizza: Create a pizza bar where guests can build their own pizzas with quirky toppings, referencing the many alternate dimensions where the possibilities are endless.

Drink Ideas

  • The Portal Punch: Serve a green punch (perhaps lime or mint-flavored) in a large bowl with floating ice cubes that look like Rick’s face. Add some vodka for a boozy touch if it’s an adult party.
  • Szechuan Sauce Shots: Make a spicy cocktail inspired by the Szechuan sauce episode, maybe with vodka, chili liqueur, and lime.
  • Mr. Poopybutthole Drink: Create a fun drink with blueberry vodka or blue drinks like a blue lagoon.
  • Pickle Rick Cocktail: Serve a pickle-infused cocktail or a pickle martini to give your party an extra twist.
  • Frozen “Schwifty” Shots: Serve frozen shots in colorful, fun glasses with colorful gummies and quirky decorations.

4. Music Playlist

A Rick and Morty Party wouldn’t be complete without the right soundtrack. Play the iconic Rick and Morty Theme Song, but also add music from the show’s episodes and other 70s and 80s hits to bring back the party’s energy.

Playlist Suggestions:

  • “Get Schwifty” – Rick and Morty Soundtrack
  • “Rick’s Theme Song”
  • “Human Music” – Rick and Morty Soundtrack
  • “Terryfold” – Chaos Chaos (a fan-favorite song)
  • “The Real World” – The 70s version (for a retro vibe)
  • “Take Me to Your Leader” – Rick and Morty Soundtrack
  • “For the Damaged Coda” – Blonde Redhead (the theme of Evil Morty)

5. Activities and Games

Entertain your guests with a mix of games and activities that fit the chaotic, unpredictable nature of Rick and Morty.

Pickle Rick Escape Room

  • Set up a mini escape room or puzzle related to Pickle Rick or other episodes. Guests need to “escape” from a locked room by solving riddles and clues based on their favorite episodes.

Trivia Game

  • Host a Rick and Morty trivia game with questions about episodes, characters, and famous quotes. Consider creating “interdimensional” prizes for the winners!

Costume Contest

  • Encourage your guests to come dressed as their favorite characters. Whether it’s Rick, Morty, Pickle Rick, or the Plumbus, award prizes for the best costume!

Portal Gun Relay Race

  • Create a fun relay race where participants have to “jump through portals” and complete challenges, such as throwing rings over bottles or tossing a ball into a target (in reference to the portal gun and all its wild adventures).

6. Party Favors

Send your guests home with memorable party favors to remind them of their adventures through space and time.

  • Mini Plumbuses: Create small Plumbus toys for party favors. They can be used as both a decoration and a funny gift for guests.
  • Rick and Morty Pop Figures: Give out small pop figures of their favorite characters as keepsakes.
  • Interdimensional Candy Bags: Create party favor bags filled with candy and fun treats, like Pickle Rick gummy candy or blue Jell-O.
  • Szechuan Sauce: Hand out small packets of Szechuan Sauce as a quirky party favor for guests to take home.

7. Ending the Party

Wrap up the night by playing a Rick and Morty episode on a projector or TV screen in the background. You can choose a fan-favorite episode like “Get Schwifty”, “The Ricklantis Mixup”, or “Pickle Rick” to leave everyone with a good laugh.

With these ideas, your Rick and Morty Party will be the ultimate interdimensional experience! Guests will have a blast with the zany decorations, food and drink, games, and wacky costumes—just make sure to get schwifty!
