My birthday party always falls on the same weekend as the time change, so I thought it would be fun to host a time-travel party. My guests were asked to dress as someone from their favorite era (early 21st century attire was totally fine) or as their favorite Doctor Who Character. I dressed like a Dalek.
Here’s how I threw an awesome Doctor Who-themed birthday party with Whovian decor, favors, and food!

Doctor Who-themed party decor:
Wow. Seriously, wow. That is one crazy detailed party! (It would never occur to me to go to that much effort to throw MYSELF a party like that. Someone else, sure.) I would have LOVED to go to your wibbly wobbly timey wimey party!
Totally agree! I bet everyone had a fantastic time.
(I think I did less planning than this for my wedding!)
What a fantastic party!
THIS IS THE BEST PARTY EVER.
And you are the most adorable dalek.
You are too kind. For the light-up Dalek earring, I went to a local craft store and got those tiny blinking light bulbs that go into balloons. I put them on a set of ear wires and was good to go.
LOVE this! The appropriate food is amazing, and that’s a super-cute Seal of Rassilon! I hope everyone had a brilliant timey wimey.
WOW! That is one intense and impressive party! I’m exhausted just looking at everything you made/planned!
BTW, I’ve actually made real fish fingers and custard. Believe it or not it’s not bad! Granted I breaded my own fish, so it was a little different than real fishsticks, and I made my own custard so it may not have been as sweet as a packaged kind, but seriously it’s not as gross as it sounds! I actually quite liked it 🙂
You may be the coolest person ever. That is all.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I…. I have no words. This would make the best party EVER. YOU ARE A FANTASTIC NERDY OVERACHIEVER. I salute you! Please start throwing Doctor Who themed weddings for a living! 🙂
Dammmn. I wish I was your friend so I could’ve got an invite to the PARTY OF THE CENTURY.
Fezzes are cool. Bowties are cool. This party? Waaay cool.
Allons-y!
Absolutely amazing! I would have had a whale of a time at that party, good job indeed!
Just a note about the goodie table: you can’t get silver dragees in California. So, the edible ball bearings are actually silver Sixlets.
Are those Gally ribbons I spy? 🙂
Yes, they are. I’m an annual attendee of the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles.
Nice! I started going a couple of years ago. Already can’t wait for next year!
The party looks awesome, btw. 🙂
Damn, and I thought I did well with my blue table cloth and galliferyan bunting for the season 7 premier…. That’s amazing work!
We did have actual fish fingers and actual custard though… surprisingly not nearly as disgusting as it sounds…….
also….
Tic-Tocs!!

Can we be friends?
Actually, I’ve been thinking about how awesome it would be to throw a 50th Anniversary party this November. These are some great ideas!
How did you make the jelloto look like the Ood Collective Mind
I’m guessing with this dessert mold shaped like a brain!
wow!!!!!! this totally gives me ideas for my geek themed birthday party! thanks!:D
Wow. I was trawling the web looking for ideas for my 50th anniversary Who themed part and found all your ideas amazing. I had already thought of stripey jelly in tall glasses for the Tom Baker scarf and marshmallows for the adipose. One guest is making a tardis cake and another is making some of his amazing flapjack but not sure how he is themeing it. I plan to dye some white fabric blue and sort of tent my square porch so when you walk into my house its the Tardis. I love how detailed you were and hope my humble version looks half as good as yours. Brilliant, Fi from Yorkshire, England
This is great. My daughter wants a Dr. Who birthday party? What did you use to make the Ood Collective Mind and Pocky Sonic Screwdrivers? Thanks.
The Ood Collective mind is simply Jello and a brain shaped mold. You might want to add an extra pack of unflavored gelatin to firm it up a bit. The sonic screwdrivers are simply Pocky dipped in melted candy coating. I used Wilton’s.

I’m planning a Dr Who 50th anniversary party. There are some great ideas here already. I have thought up, but not actually tried:
Dalek domes: matchmaker and icing eye stalk pushed into tea cake dome, jelly tot ears.
Alien fruit salad: some items in strange colours eg. blue melon balls. Others just unusual such as dragon fruit.
Sontaran doughnut heads.
Sonic screwdriver bread sticks: decorated with bands of sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
Bow tie pasta shapes: there must be some potential there…
Wow, this is amazing! I am currently planning my son’s 10th birthday and this will a fantastic idea for him!!
Love it all. I needed some ideas for my sons birthday party and most who are attending are huge fans of the show. This is how I came accross this. You are so creative! <3
On a side note under the jammie dogers you wrote you put a picture of the fourth doctor but That was 11s button …. Otherwise you are very clever.
Where did you find the images for your Bananas, Tardis destruct button? My 6 year old (soon to be 7) is having a Doctor Who birthday? I am trying to find things for the treat bag but, being in Louisiana, I cannot find anything!
The pencils! Where did you get them!?
OMG!!! This is awesome!!!
Also, the space fabric you used as a table cloth? I made my Lego Star Wars wedding garter out of the same fabric!
