Create your own vending machine out of cardboard and stick your favorite treats in there and pretend it’s the lounge room. You can stick candy, small bags of chips or wherever else you enjoy snacking on! If you’re feeling less up for making your own vending machine, you can get a miniature one too.
3. Dundies Awards
You can get these great Dundies awards and hang them out as party favors or just have them around for decorations. You can also customize them online, leave them blank, or come up with your own creative text on paper and tape it onto the trophy.
4. Flyers
Create a bunch of Flyers in and around your party area! You can use the one of “No Toby’s Allowed” or the “This Man is a Pervert” of Dwight! You can also search for a bunch more or even create your own of your favorite scenes from the show and turn them into flyers.
5. Guest Book
Have a giant piece of paper (which you can call Dunder Mifflin Paper Company) and put it at the top The Office. You can have people sign their name, quote, or anything you want that you want to keep! It will be a fun day to remember the day as well as all your guests that attended.

It's important to make sure you feed your guests when they're over, but how to make it relate to The Office? Well, don't fret, we have you covered. Check out our wonderful food ideas that are both fulling, and sweet.
12. Food Labels
Use these hilarious food labels and recreate different scenes from episodes of food. For example, order a couple Boxes of Nerds and claim them as “Jim’s” just like he does in the show. Or you can get some jars and fill them with some classic M&M’s and make them Kevin’s. Since there is a variety of labels, you can make quick, sweet treats, or you can go all the way to baking Pam’s Tiramisu!
13. Staple Jell-O
There can’t be any going wrong with making some Jell-O and sticking a stapler in it! The guest will think this is a funny treat and connect your humor to Jims! While this might be more of a decoration than a treat, guests can definitely still dig into it. Everyone will love it.
14. Hot-Dogs
Remember the episode where there is the hot dog eating competition? Well, you could recreate that (maybe without the contest part). Serve your guests hot dogs and pretend you’re out of office with everyone else. Just grab some buns, hot dogs and condiments. Make sure you also have a grill that you can use!
15. Pretzel Day
You can create your very own pretzel day! Have a “complementary pretzel” statink for your guests where they can come by and grab pretzels for the duration of your party. If you don’t have a cart like they do in the office, you can get a little pretzel hanger for them!
16. Kevin’s famous Chili
As you may recall from Episode 26 from Season 5, Kevin makes his famous office and brings it in for everyone to try. You can create your own version of this chili or use his! You’ll need all the ingredients plus a big pot!
The Office Themed Birthday Party: Games and Activities
Keeping your guest entertained is one of the most important parts of throwing a party. Here are a handful of ideas that you can use to make sure everyone has a blast!
17. Character Themed Costumes
Have your guests each dress up as a character! For example, you can either have people pick who they want to be or assign them. Someone might come as Dwight and wear the classic glasses, or as Michael carrying the “World’s Best Boss” mug. People can even just wear a collared long sleeve shirt, get a “Dunder Mifflin” hoodie or a “Schrute Farms” T-shirt and announce who they are when they arrive!
18. Office head Bingo
This is just like regular bingo but with The Office phrases! Someone will be in charge of calling out the phrase, while everyone else will look at their board and see if it is on the board. If it is, then take a pin and cover it. Once you get a whole row or column, yell bingo! If you want to continue playing once someone wins, you can play till you have black out and cover the entire board.
19 . Who Said What?
Remember those games when you were little where you would draw a line to match a word to a color? Well, you can take the names (or faces) of characters and write down a quote from each of them and scramble them. On the left side of the paper have all the names or heads going vertically, and on the right side have a quote from each of them. Make sure the heads are not directly across from what they said, so you can challenge your guest to draw a line with a fun pen or pencil and see who gets each match correctly first.
20. Trivia
Just like it sounds, Office trivia! Who knows The Office the best? You better play to find out. It's perfect for large or small groups as well as any group and everyone will be engaged.
21. Office Card Games
Love card games? Well here are some great options for groups of people. You can play Uno but turn it into The Office style. Play Uno as you usually would but switch it up a little by adding different faces of characters. Or do you love memes? What Do You Meme Office edition is such a fun game for many ages. Wanting a laugh? Cards Against Humanities Office Style might be perfect for you then!
22. Pancake Making Station
Just like Michael prepares for his grand pancake station, you can have everyone come and help make pancakes and recreate the scene by doing it outside. If you want to dive even deeper, you can send out an Evite like Michael, and see how many “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” you get. Get professional and add an apron and a cooking hat too.

26. Projector
You can be really fun and have a projector playing The Office in the background for people to stop by and watch. It's perfect since you don’t need to see every episode to understand the plot. People can gather around and laugh together or just stop for a minute while they grab a snack!
27. Cozy Up
