A Super Hero themed party is always a fun party and easy to do without spending a lot of money.
With the release of the new 2011 movie, this is a popular party theme with the boys (young and old).
A true fan never outgrows their love for their favorite super hero! Planning Your Party: Start planning your party about a month in advance.
Decide on your guest list, menu, games and activities, and decorations.
Purchase anything you can well ahead of time to save stress later.
Use my ideas below to save your money and at the same time, have a fun party.
Inviting the Guest: Send out your invitations at least one week in advance.
Invite guest to wear their favorite Super Hero t-shirt (if they have one) or the colors red, white, and blue to the party.
Decorating the Party Room: Decorate for your party with themed tableware and lots of red, white, and blue balloons (or red and blue star-shaped balloons)! The tableware is a great way to decorate in your theme, so use Captain America paper plates, napkins, cups, tablecover, centerpiece.
If you want to save money on decorations, use solid red and blue colors for the tableware.
Sometimes I purchase only the themed napkins and tablecover, and use solid color plates and cups.
This makes the child happy and the parent, too! If you already have some Super Hero type toys, just set them randomly around the room.
Also, a Captain America movie poster is very inexpensive and will make a great party decoration that can double as a gift! Since it's a Captain America theme, if you have any Patriotic themed decorations around the house, these would be perfect to add to the decor!
