Superheroes are a very popular choice for birthdays. Granted, this is usually a boy's choice rather than a girls, but there is still fun to be had for everyone at a party.
Decorations are very easy to come by for this theme. This cuts down a lot of time when getting your house or venue ready for the guests. I've listed below some of the current ones available.
As well as the themed cups, tablecloths, plates and napkins, I purchased Halloween spider decorations that were hung from the ceiling. I also managed to get hold of a wall web decoration with spiders
For outside I purchased a long line of spiders which were strung all over the garden suspended in the trees (you can just make them out in this picture). I also blew up pictures of Spiderman's enemies and stuck these around the garden (they formed part of a game later). The pictures were made into posters by using Picasa's poster creator and printing each out on 4 sheets of A4.
Party food was kept simple with vegetable sticks, breadsticks, hummus and barbecue food.
The posters were used for a game where each child became Spiderman. As the children were quite young, I purchased rain ponchos which they decorated with stickers of Spiderman along with other fun bits to create their 'capes'. I purchased silly string which I gave to the parents to help their budding Spiderman defeat the enemies! The children put on their capes and had to spray each enemy with the silly string (with parents help).
They had a lot of fun with this game!
In the background you can see some webs on the floor. This was a musical statue type game where the children had to leap onto a web and not fall off.
Parties usually have a Pin the Tail on the donkey game, so here it is changed into 'Pin Spidey on the web'. The children were blindfolded and had to get their Spidey as close to the middle as possible. I made the web with curling ribbon on a red card background.
As well as the party games, I set up garden games so the kids could just have fun!
Cupcakes were kept simple with Spiderman colours and pre made toppers.
The cake was made using a shaped Wilton pan and following the directions given with the pan. This pan is no longer available (you can find them occasionally on sites like EBay), however, Wilton now do this one.
It can be found on their website here.
This is a very simple party to put together and is a big hit with kids.
Have a great weekend!
