Superhero Birthday Party #Favors

Party favors are something that moms take very seriously. You want them to be fun, but not a bag of junk {wow, did I ever fail with that last year!! Everything was edible!}.

I so so so badly want to do capes and masks this year. I think it's such a fun idea to be able to give the kids something like this at the beginning of the party so they can all play superheros in the backyard together.

Check out these masks!

While we won't have those exact ones, we've sourced out mask sets locally at a party supply store ($.99 for each fabric eye mask!) and the capes will be handmade, but simple. Just basic cotton fabric rectangles with velcro closures. Easy peasy, but coordinated with the theme and fun for the kids!

When it comes to party decor, in my eyes everything needs to be coordinated and pulled together seamlessly.

So when it comes to this Superhero Party, there will be lots of graphic BOOM, POW, POP type signs and balloons a-freaking-galore!

I really like the idea of a standout entrance for this party. It's unlike any other birthday party that we've thrown for Owen before...and now that he's a little older, he is just SO excited about playing superheros with his friends.

This should be decently easy to pull together too; just string the balloons on rope or heavy fishing line, and then zip tie to the pillars at the front of our house. We did something similar for FlyDIY at BlogHer'13, and it's certainly something that my husband and I could get going on a few days prior to the party (ahem...tomorrow...party is Saturday!).

While he wants superheros, I always like to draw inspiration from the colors and symbols rather than plaster the actual characters every where. So, for this party, think lots of red, yellow, blue and green!

Superhero Birthday Party Ideas #boy #birthday

Well out little dude has chosen Superheros for his birthday party and boy oh boy, does he have some specific requests!!

While I've been pinning away on my Superhero Birthday Party board for a few months now (I mean...hello...4th birthday party...due date 2 weeks later. You do the math on my stress level!), there are a few things that Owen has been very vocal on wanting at his party.

His first request...Superman Cupcakes.

Yep...Superman.

So off to Pinterest I trotted to see what I could find.

Cupcakes with Capes, Glitter Superman Cupcakes, Light Blue Frosting

I am actually really thankful that he chose cupcakes over a cake for this year, and likely it will develop into a whole Superhero Sweet Bar. I'm going to keep the cupcakes simple - chocolate and vanilla with blue buttercream, and these plastic ring toppers. 

The sweet bar will also have Kryptonite (rock candy sticks), and sugar cookies from Windells Chocolates like we had last year (they are SO yummy!! Then maybe some sixlets Pop Rock candy. 

Next up is decor!
