Party Decorations

When decorating your event area for a Superman (Supergirl) theme, it is always fun to add comic phrases to your different looks like “Pow!” and “Blam!” to bring a little life to it all. There is no such thing as too much when it comes to a hero party, the more action packed fun you have the better. Use bunches of balloons to fill the “skyline” with fun, you can even draw the Superman Logo on some of them to personalize the style. Hang up posters from the comic books around your room, you could even make frames for them to really bring your look together. If you use white tablecloths, all of the different plates and silverware that you use will really stand out brightly. For birthday centerpieces you can mix a little elegance with action by putting smooth rocks in jars and have sticks with the comic phrases on them sticking out in a bouquet-like fashion.

Food and Snack Ideas

To create food that even Superman would love you have to think like a hero! Keep your hero guests strong with snack foods like mini-deli sandwiches, and hotdogs. Having a veggie and fruit tray brings color to the table and offers a healthy touch that is sure to be enjoyed. Use some blue wraps to create little holders for popcorn and then label them with the Superman logo. You can make some “kryptonite” by color rock candy green. Use trays and dishes that match your theme so there is a lot of color incorporated into your food. Decorate your blue paper cups with logos and little red handmade cloth or paper cape.

Games & Activities

To give the party goers some super fun, have them get into teams and have a competition to see who can be the strongest Superman. You have the designated member of the group put on adult clothing, and then the team works together to put as many balloons as they can into their clothing. Get creative and set-up a craft station for all of the kids to make their own superhero logo to take home.

To show thanks for everyone who comes to the special Superman Birthday Party, send them home with their own Superman comic book to start their own collection. Or you can give them all a Superman cape to dress-up anytime they want to.

Bring your child a day of hero action with a Ninja Turtle Birthday Party. With a whole group of vigilantes to decorate with, your child can celebrate their special day saving the city from shenanigans!

You can bring this birthday party a blast of fun with all kinds of green and brown color and Ninja Turtle accessories that will stand out fantastically. Turn a balloon bouquet into a Ninja Turtle crowd by drawing masks on them or tying scarves on them, then you can use them as centerpieces or as a decoration anywhere in your venue area. Take advantage of your child’s collection of Ninja Turtle toys and set-up fun action scenes on tables for everyone to check out. If you have round, pop-up tunnels, you can decorate those to look like the sewer tunnels, giving a 3-D decoration that kids could actually play with.

The most important food to have at a Ninja Turtle party is definitely pizza. You can personalize your pizza by making it at home, or you can make it a part of kids’ activity to make their own pizza with all the ingredients prepared so that all they need to really do is add all their favorite toppings. Of course, another option is to order out, either way, the kids are sure to love it! Along with you wonderful pizza entree, you can make all kinds of fun treats that will go nicely with the theme. Place fun jars of a variety of green candies, like gummy bears, gumballs, laffy taffy out and then put construction paper masks on them to look like your child’s favorite classic characters. Name your foods after Ninja Turtle favorite phrases for a fun twist and place labels out so everyone knows what is available. You could even make ooze with green jello in clear dixie cups! For your Ninja Turtle celebration cake, a large cake can be decorated to look like your child’s very favorite one, or you can have the whole gang together in style.

To keep your guests happy and involved you can start your party out by having everyone guess how many candies – gumballs you have in a jar and then at the end of the party whoever guessed closest gets a prize! One fun party activity would be giving everyone a sheet of stickers when they first come and having them get rid of all of them by putting them on other guests secretly and whoever gets rid of all their stickers first wins. Another fun idea would be to set up a race for the kids to use chopsticks to move a marble from one bowl to another as fast as they can.

To say thanks to everyone for coming to your child’s exciting Ninja Turtle party, you can make, or purchase masks so everyone can be their favorite! You can also send a little gift box with fun accessories like miniature characters, pencils, erasers, markers and more.

Pirate Party Decorations

A Pirate Theme can be great with either an outdoor or indoor venue area, using natural elements like sticks and wood, you can have a rustic style that will charm. For colors a good mix would be blue and black or red and black, allowing an accent that is bold and fun. Using barrels you can make seats for your little pirates to sit at, if you have tall tables the whole barrel or just half for smaller tables. Line your guest tables with striped cloths for a pirate effect. This would be a great theme for hanging up old maps, laying out atlas’ that you have available and spreading out lots of flags. If you have some vintage storage chests, you can fill them up with costume jewelry and fake golden coins to create treasures fit for a pirate.

Pirate Party Food

There are a lot of different pirate treats that you can make for your guests to enjoy. Rice krispy treats, cake pops and mini-cupcakes all offer a perfect size for placing little sticks in with ship flags on them to blend your food nicely with the theme. Grilled chicken legs make a messy and fun pirate food that is also a good filler. Hot dogs, pizza and even meatloaf can also make tasty foods. You can make a special jewel punch as a fun beverage at the party too. The night before your event just freeze up some different colors of ice cubes to place in your punch bowl and voila, a drinkable treasure trove!

Pirate Party Games

No Pirate Party would be complete without a plank walk- you can set-up a two by four wooden board for children to walk across and have them leap into a pile of blue pillows (water). You can even make it more challenging by blindfolding the victims so it is tougher to stay on the board. Another fun pirate adventure is the treasure hunt! Make a map for the children to decipher and see which pirate can get to the X (have a small chest will little pirate gifts waiting) first!
