Why did I promise a K-Pop Demon Hunters party

156 replies

My daughter is turning 9 in a couple of weeks and I have promised her a k-pop demon hunter theme party with a few close friends at home. Now I’m wondering what the hell I’m going to do for it!!!

I have body pens and hair glitter and noodle pots from the film plus the soundtrack. As the film is so new there’s very little online and I’m stuck for ideas, plus any merch takes weeks to get here. I was thinking of doing a demon hunter quest, quiz and games of some kind but don’t know where to start. Anyone have any ideas!

I know I shouldn’t have promised this without planning it first :-/

Any ideas what I can do?

25 in class and we have a class WhatsApp group where it was talked about. It’s OK, we can have different experiences and opinions regarding a film.

We can have different opinions. But when you post an obvious lie then it seems a silly waste of time.

Get loads of different fizzy drinks and everyone can create their own little soda pop. Gold jewellery making stuff and/or cake decorating stuff to make themselves or a cake Golden. Purple face paint to make patterns. Musical statues but you have to freeze in a demon pose. Pass the parcel with some Korean sweets. Karaoke and dance routines. I want to come!

My son is having a small k pop party. I'm doing typical party food lunch and putting the film on. I have k pop party decs on order, cake toppers, banners, balloons etc. Ive also got some cheap insulated water bottles from shein and some k pop vinyl stickers from etsy that the kids can use to decorate their bottles which they can take home instead of party bag tat.

DP has a 3d printer so it going to print some k pop fidget spinners and some light wand stick thing from the film for the kids too.

8 is pretty young to have watched this film. Have her friends seen it?

All my kids and all their friends have seen it; they are 6, 7 and 9. Its massive for that age range imo, they all know the songs!!

I mean, a big part of the lion king was that Scar viciously threw his own brother to his death and tried to have a child murdered.
Demon hunters is pretty tame. Yes there’s the killing of demons, but it’s not gruesome, gory or graphic.

Yes they have all seen it and loved it. They have seen the film so many times I don’t think I’ll get away with just putting that on. 🤣

Show quote history

On the contrary! If they love it as much as my 8 year old and her friends, they are able to watch it again and again... and again! Pop the sing along version on! They'll sing for two hours. Job done :)
Says I with 'you're my soda pop, my little soda pop' firmly lodged in my brain for the past 5 weeks solid...

What sort of things are your 7 year olds watching? I understand your hesitation regarding the violence, but if you think demon hunters is too much, I guess that rules out most of the Disney / pixar films as well?

Show quote history

No I think Disney/Pixar is different. PGs will largely be subjective. Anyway – what my 7yrs olds are watching isn’t point of the thread, so OP should get on with the party planning advice without the derailment.

Didimum · 07/09/2025 10:10

I think some of the demon aesthetics were a bit scary, not all of them, but some of them.

The violence I wasn’t a fan of for 7yr old age group. When it’s comic, it can go either way of course, but even comic violence I’m not a huge fan of for my two.

Anyway, my opinion on it and what I do with my kids isn’t the point of the thread. It’s for party planning. I was just checking if the OP knew if the party guests had seen it.

But you still haven't said what about it is inappropriate?

Answered above. I’m not clogging up the OP’s party planning thread by making long posts. It’s not the point of the thread or my first post.

Didimum · 07/09/2025 10:10

Whinge · 07/09/2025 10:05

I'm curious to know why you thought it was inappropriate.

@Makemakee Your party sounds amazing, I second the idea of karaoke using the sing a long version, and learning the dance routines.

No way. You have zero idea what their class is watching.

Unless you’re going to tell me it’s a small village school with 8 kids in the class, all girls and all parents hang out all the time.

Yes I have seen it. Really enjoyed it. I don’t think it was appropriate for my two 7yr olds though.

Namechange846 · 07/09/2025 10:02

Why? Have you watched it?

It's a PG and I can't see that there's anything inappropriate about it. It's been lauded for its strong female characters and themes around self-acceptance.

My 9 year old DD and 7 year old DS have both watched it though they're actually more obsessed with the songs (which critically are very good), than the actual film.

Yes, I’ve watched it. It’s ok, we can disagree on what’s age appropriate or not.

My two 7yr olds haven’t. Niether have most in their class. Don’t think it’s 7-8yr olds appropriate.

Many 5 yo’s that my dd babysits have seen it so the age range is perfect!

I work with kids and they’ve all seen it.

Bernadinetta · 07/09/2025 09:54

Do you have access to a printer? Print off pictures of the characters, logo etc and sellotape them to fruit shoot bottles, crisp packets, mini cookie packets etc

Wtf? I don’t know a child who hasn’t watched it.

It’s a great film and the music is fantastic.

Get yourself on Temu, there’s loads of stuff on there. My 10 year old DS is obsessed with the film.

Yes! The tunes are great! You’ll be joining in… My almost 7yr old loves it and most of her pals.

Do invite the boys...my 8yo boy LOVES this movie.

Dare I suggest Karaoke?

Yeah Netflix have just released the singalong version.

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 07/09/2025 09:47

Go on etsy and buy a pop demon hunter cake topper and some bunting, and buy some purple green pink and gold balloons.
