This year, Clark and I decided on a Dude Perfect themed party. We love Dude Perfect and knew we could find some fun things to add along that theme. I immediately knew the color scheme of teal and black (DP logo colors) wouldn’t be the easiest to pull off, so I added in accents of lime green and got to work on the games!

We chose 6 games: “Basketball Trick Shot, Frisbee Trick Shot, Air-tail Trick Shot, Ping Pong Trick Shot, Water Bottle Flip Shot, and Nerf Trick Shot”. The boys received a lanyard with a name tag made of card stock when they arrived. Each time they scored 100 points, they earned a sports-themed sticker on their name tag. The boy with the most stickers at the end of the party won a Dude Perfect Frisbee! I ordered just about everything from Amazon to make it easy and convenient. I’m linking the supplies needed for each game, as well as sharing how we organized them.

Basketball Trick Shot

This was simple! The boys had to shoot a basketball backward from a chalk-drawn line on the concrete. They each got 5 shots. Each time they made a basket, it counted as 100 points, or 1 sticker. I used our basketball goal and ball we already had. Dude Perfect also has a cool logo ball if you need one!

Frisbee Trick Shot

I wasn’t thrilled with the quality of the Dude Perfect equipment for this game. I would recommend using a low cut box or barrel instead of the “containers” that came with this set. It was virtually impossible to make the Frisbee in the slit, so we just made that a bonus shot worth 300 points. The object was to land the Frisbee in the top of the “container” and earn 100 points/1 sticker. They each got 5 throws. We used the NERF Dude Perfect Disc Game, but you could use any large container and Frisbee.

Air-tail Trick Shot

I think this was my favorite game! Every boy earned points on this one and it was really exciting for them to watch where their air-tail would land! The Dude Perfect Air-Tail Game comes with plastic rings to lay on the ground, but we used sidewalk chalk to make our own, over sized target. The boys earned 100 points for landing on the outer part of the target, and 200 for the bulls eye. They each got to throw all four air-tails, then totaled their points and got their stickers.

Ping-pong Trick Shot

This was hard y’all! Only one boy made it in. It was fun, and intense, but hard. They had to toss the ping-pong balls and try to make one in the Pringles can. The ball had to bounce at least once, and their points were totaled based on the can. 100 points was the closest, then 200 points, then 300 points for the can all the way across the table. They each got ten shots. I printed the adorable backstops from Pickle Monkey shop on Etsy, and labeled the points with cut card stock.

Water Bottle Flip Shot

This game board was made first, and really before I had a good idea of how I was going to track the points. If I was doing it again, I would label the target in hundreds instead of 10, 25, 50 and 100. I ended up counting their points and then rounding up to the nearest 50. That way I could tear a sticker in half. Also, the boys had 20 chances and it ended up taking them longer than I anticipated. I would give them 10 tosses each next time. Overall though, they loved it and all earned points! I made the board out of black foam board and chalk pens. The small water bottles were labeled with this adorable printable tag from Pickle Monkey Etsy shop.

NERF Trick Shot

This was the finale and what all the boys were looking forward to since they had arrived! I made a balloon shooting range using teal balloons, black plastic tablecloths and thumb tacks! We also filled the balloons with confetti I made using the leftover scraps after cutting card stock for decorations. We pre-loaded large NERF darts with straight pins to use in a NERF pistol. I was responsible for loading the gun and watched each boy closely as they operated it. They felt very grown up and cool shooting darts with straight pins! When the balloons popped, confetti flew and it was awesome!

Decorations

Decorating for parties is one of my favorite hobbies! I love planning everything in my head and then seeing it come to fruition. It’s so dang rewarding! Boy party decor is never as fun, but I was happy with the way things turned out. To jazz up the mantle, I added a few touches. I made the logo on Canva and cut it out of teal cardstock. I used more black foam board for the backing and placed a few party fans at the base to make it more festive! The white banner was a cute personalized touch that kept the design clean and simple!

I made small balloon clusters to place throughout and kept with the color scheme. I also made our brown paper roll a focal point by lettering a Dude Perfect quote in black. “Tall guy, beard, twins, purple hoser” is one of their most popular tag lines. It was Clark’s idea and it was a great one! The only other major decorations were the signs I created to label each game. I bought them at Lowe’s and they came in the perfect lime green color, that was a lucky find! I used Canva to create game symbols and logos that I cut out of cardstock. These were functional, cool looking, and added so much to the party decor!

The cake was from the delicious Pronia’s Bakery as always, and it looked and tasted great! Our favorite flavor is white chocolate raspberry. I ordered it fairly plainly decorated and added the silhouettes of “the dudes” as cake toppers.

I got inspiration for the favors from a photo shared on the Pickle Monkey Etsy shop‘s page. I used glue dots to stick a backstop and ping-pong ball to an unopened can of Pringles for the boys to take home and play with. This was simple, inexpensive and a hit with all the boys!

Overall, it was a great party! I stayed in budget, enjoyed planning it, nothing major went wrong and most importantly… everyone had fun! Comment below any questions you have and feel free to email me or DM me on social if you’re planning a Dude Perfect party. I’d love to help!
