Superhero Birthday Party

Superhero birthday party

We celebrated my son turning 4 with a Superhero party!! Him and his friends are really into the Avengers right now, but I decided to add a couple other superheroes to the mix.

We had such a great time! All the kids wore their favorite superhero costumes and we even had an obstacle course in the backyard.

I was very excited to get this party started. I had been looking through Pinterest for ideas and found a lot of great inspiration out there. I was proud of some of the ideas I even came up with myself.

Superhero Display Table

I wanted the display table to be the first thing everyone saw when they walk in the door. I was really excited with how my birthday boy’s cake turned out.

I love using these cake stands for all my parties. Just change the ribbon and you always have a new look!

I found this awesome comic book paper and used that for the topper.

I used a round punch to make the shape for these cupcake toppers.

Since I wanted to use all kinds of superheroes for this party, I decided to make the cupcake toppers myself using stickers. So simple!

I made this topper for the cupcake display using stickers as well. So easy and inexpensive!

My hubby did a great job with the printables

Here’s some of the ideas I did for the display table:

  • Backdrop: I found some superhero wrapping paper and thought it would work perfect for a backdrop. We added some red for the boarder.
  • Cake Topper: I cut out my first shape then pasted it to a piece of cardstock. I layered it with another color. I found the “POP” “BOOM” and “POW” printable online and the best part…they were free!
  • Cupcake Toppers: I put my stickers on cardstock then cut them out. I hot glued my stickers onto lollipop sticks. A perfect cupcake topper!!
  • Topper for Cupcake Display: I layered my stickers on a piece of cardstock and cut out my shape. I added a couple other colors to the layers.
  • Super Sign: My hubby made this awesome “Super Noah” sign for the party (we’ll have printable link up soon).
  • Superhero Pops: I found the idea and free printable for my Superhero pops on Zakka Like. I just LOVE finding a free printable for my parties.

Fueling Station

Since it’s a superhero party I wanted to have some healthy options for the kids. I thought adding some Hulks to the table would finish it off. The Hulk is all about healthy eating!!

I wanted each table to be a specific superhero. I got all my tablecloths at the Dollar Tree and Googled the images.

Side Note: If you like DIY and your little one loves superheroes, why not help ’em with an easy-to make superhero costume craft? No sewing required!

Danger Room: Obstacle Course

I found the ideas for the obstacle course on On My Side of The Room. The kids all had a great time with the obstacle course. I had a bouncy house setup and a ball pit too.

Here are some of the pictures I got of the kids running the course.

Each child got their official superhero armband before they entered the “Danger Room”.

I wanted to share some of the crafts and ideas I did for the obstacle course:

  • Danger Room: My husband made this sign for me. He said it was suppose to be the X-Men training simulator (I will have the printable up soon).
  • Superhero Cuffs: I found the armbands at the Dollar Tree and added the star felt stickers on them. The kids got these when they went into the training center.
  • Superhero Cityscape: I made the city out of diaper boxes. I spray painted them black and cut out gray cardstock for the windows.

Party Favor Station

What’s a party without favors for the kids to go home with? I found the buckets at Michaels and all the favors on clearance at Target. Each favor was less than $2.00 each, what a bargain!!

The kids just loved their party favors. Lots of fun superhero goodies!

Superhero Birthday Party: Party Favor Station:Sometimes being a big brother is even better than being a superhero

A superheroes job is tough work, but so is being a BIG BROTHER.

Superhero Birthday Party: Party Favor Station: Birthday Party Favors

I have seen these “…Being a Brother…” signs all over the place. I gave my hubby the job of making our own for the party.

He did a great job making the Captain America inspired, “…being a brother is…better than…a superhero printable sign. I was very impressed!

Super Birthday Boy!

Everyone had a great time, especially the birthday boy. He loved having all his friends over in their costumes and playing superheroes. What little boy wouldn’t love that?
