Survivor Party Ideas

Everyone loves this show, showcased on a deserted island where the contestants compete in challenges to win immunity. Do you think you have what it takes? Work together with your team in challenges or lose and go to tribal council where you vote to stay alive by kicking someone out. It is time to “outwit” “outlast” and “outplay” by hosting a survivor party with these ideas.

Survivor Party Invitations

To make your party invitations look more official, make sure to include the iconic Survivor logo. Use aged looking paper by staining it with tea bags and safely burning the edges of the card. Decorate the invitation with tribal stamps and little tropical doodles. When you are done, place your invitation into an envelope with the words “outwit” “outlast” and “outplay” to give a hint at the theme or place it into a bottle.
