Super Hero Birthday Parties

Superhero Birthday Party Ideas
Having a Bang, Boom, Pow birthday party is super easy. Whether you have a specific superhero theme in mind like Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk or Thor, or just a generic super hero theme, these super ideas will be sure to help you save the day.
Decorations
Superheroes use all different colors to stand out so choosing one color may be difficult. Instead, incorporate many colors to represent different heroes. For instance, you can decorate one table, green with coordinating table cover, balloons and napkins and dub that table the hulk or green lantern table. If the Incredible Hulk is the hero that you are focusing on, cut the bottom of the table into jagged edges to mimic the look of his torn pants.
A red and blue table décor can represent Superman, Captain America and/or Spiderman. If your party is around Halloween time, you can pick up some webbing to enhance the Spiderman theme. If your party is nearer to 4th of July (USA Independence Day) finding red, blue and white décor is rather easy to cater to Captain America.
Another table cover option would be to cover table using "capes". A shiny black cape could adorn a Batman table and a red "cape" a Superman table. Try finding super hero emblems and gluing, drawing or pasting to the table covers.
Food
Super Sandwiches - simple sandwiches can be made, but what makes them super is how you cut them. Cut the sandwiches in the shape of an X for X-Men, a Bat for Batman, a comic book "pow" design, or a lightning bolt for Flash. Use your imagination to think of different shapes that correlate to super heroes. You can also make this into a game. Have the children guess what the shape is and how it relates to super heroes.
Kryptonite - Green Jello. Warn any Superman party guests of danger.
Villainous Cupcakes - the usual cupcakes kicked up a notch. Add coordinating sprinkles to batter to add the extra "bang" they need. Add food coloring to icing using different colors to represent different characters. Visit www.allthingssuperhero.com/superherocupcakes.html to print free super hero cupcake wrappers and toppers. So bad, yet so good.
Kickin' Chicken Fingers- Wolverine did a great job preparing these sliced and diced chicken breasts!
Fantastic 4 Fajitas - basic fajitas with 4 fantastic toppings. Mr Fantastic's stretchy cheese, Ms. Invisible's barely there sour cream, Human Torch's hot salsa (mild for the kiddies) and Thing's Chunky Guacamole (do not include rocks). Add labels to the toppings to make it fun.
Iron Man and "Pepper"oni Pizza
Hero Hot Dogs - with laser vision red ketchup and laser beam yellow mustard.
Games
Pass the Kryptonite - same as hot potato. Paint a potato green or use a green painted rock or marble. Supermen beware; don't get caught with the Kryptonite.
Super Strength Pinata - have the children wear a superhero mask and cape and use super human strength to crack the pinata open.
Remember to keep the party simple and fun. Ask the birthday child what they would love to see or do at their party. It is all about them and making it fun for them is priority. Don't forget that girls love superheroes too so be sure to include them as well. Go over the party checklist to be sure you have everything you need. Lastly, have a super time!

Superhero Birthday Party Ideas for Super
Kid's Birthday Parties
By: Joseph Then
The superhero birthday party idea is a great
all round fun kid's birthday party theme suitable for both boys and
girls. Dressing up is not a problem, finding superman capes or bat
girl masks could not be easier. Kid's birthday party games are
simple to create and adjust a little to go just right with the
superhero theme birthday party idea.
You can start having fun with your
superhero birthday party idea right from sending out the birthday
party invitations. Visit children's fans sites to really see what
you could do with your superhero themed birthday party idea. Many
sites may even offer birthday invitation templates to fill in and
print and well as suggesting a variety of kid's birthday party games
to make the special day a huge success.
Decorating for your superhero
birthday party idea is also probably even more fun for the parents
than the party itself. Well perhaps not as much fun as the kids
birthday party games, but almost. You could make the table cloth by
sticking older comic magazine pages over large paper sheets. Cans of
"silly string" are too much fun to spray around the house or the
yard; you could leave these out for the older kids to spray
themselves. I don't recommend giving little one aerosol propulsion
cans although, leave this job up to the big kids( if they could
possibly do this without having silly string fights, the temptation
might be a little too much to resist ) or do it yourself then
carefully dispose of the empty cans.
As for the rest of the decorations
you could get a little creative digging into the Halloween
decoration collection for Spiderman and Batman. Or get crafty and
make some tall Styrofoam buildings for Superman, and look for some
good old fashioned green slime goo and paint some rocks in lime
green paint for kryptonite.
You can get very creative when
planning the kid's birthday party games for the superhero birthday
party idea. For the sports enthusiastic boys you could create a
superheroes obstacle course. For something less strenuous you could
try the X-Ray vision game, simply blindfold them and have then guess
an object you out into their hands. If your really keen for
something to keep them amused while you tend to the other duties,
like cake, if having a Superman party try a game of find the joker,
i.e. hide individual playing cards round the house or the lawn and
promise a price to the kid that brings in the joker. At the parties end you could
display the wonderful photographs of the day in the form of a comic
strip. Imagine the fun you and your child could have creating the
script for the comic strip together and talking about the events of
the party. Now it would be worth remembering
that superheroes do sometimes get a little boisterous and at the end
of a long days party the BAMs and KERPOWs don't get any quieter,
especially after a few kryptonite cups, so I suggest you enjoy the
party also to make it all worthwhile. Then when Superman is sleeping you
can relax and remind yourself that you have a whole 12 months before
having to do it all over again. They are seriously not kids for long
enough enjoy every minute of it with them and cherish the memories
your superhero birthday party idea will bring you both.
