Super hero themed birthday parties will never go out of style as long as there are movies to keep them alive {not so sure about classic comic books in this digital age}.  Last years release of an updated Superman movie brought on a wave of themed parties for little boys everywhere, and as such I was tasked to create some ideas for an article for SheKnows.

Today I’m going to share 5 simple ideas for a fun Superman party for your little boy. Sure there are incredible styled parties all over the web to inspire you, but I love to break things down to a basic list so it’s easy to focus and doesn’t get overwhelming. These 5 steps will allow any mom, no matter how busy she is, to throw a “SUPER” party { I had too}.

  • Quench their thirst with “POWER”ade {or ‘aid’} which is Gatorade
  • Provide a “CLARK KENT” bar – Clark chocolate candy bar

  • Provide green sugar sticks and name them “Kryptonite”

STEP 4:  Photo Booth

You can create some fabulous photos for your little guys, with one simple backdrop and a few props.

  • Use a large roll of white drawing paper or poster board and draw a Metropolis cityscape incorporating the Daily Planet and other high-rise buildings. This one was hand drawn using a yard stick for strait lines. You can sketch out a sample on notebook paper so you have a guide to follow on the large scale. Hang it on the wall at the appropriate height for the kids.
  • Purchase a Superman Halloween costume, pajama set, or t-shirt and let the boys put it on for their photo opportunity. You can also supply a white collar shirt and ‘Clark Kent’ glasses. Take digital photos and crop it so you don’t see the outline of the city drawing.
  • Create a ‘speech bubble’ that you can write on with chalk. See my diy here.
  • You can print these out and send each boy his photo along with thank you cards.

 

STEP 5:  Printed Papers

  • Create your photo backdrop early and have your son pose for the party invitations. Create them online yourself or have an invitation designer do it for you using your photo.
  • I don’t always use printables for parties but for this theme they can certainly enhance the theme and tie it all together. Comic style action or speech bubbles work well here and can easily be found on Etsy, or created in PicMonkey.com
  • Keep your color scheme in line with the theme.  Red and blue are the colors of Superman’s suit so it makes perfect sense here.

There you have it – 5 simple ideas for a fun Superman party. Any other details you add will be icing on the cake!
