Superhero parties are so much fun! Here is everything you need to know before throwing your own party:

Invitations

You'll need the perfect invitations to really excite your guests - think bright colours and fun artwork! Here at Dotty about Paper, we have a wide range of superhero birthday invitations, so you can find exactly what you're looking for.

Many of our designs are available fully personalised or ready-to-write, so you can find stationery to exactly suit you and your budget.

Party Decorations

It's not too tricky to decorate for a superhero party! Simply get creative with bright colours and DIY decorations. Featured Product: SAROM INspired You can either choose a classic colour scheme of red, yellow, and blue, or opt for colours that match your little's ones favourite superhero (e.g. green for the hulk). For tableware, opt for coloured plates and cups, and have lots of helium balloons floating around the room. It will add the vibrancy to the party that you will need.

Dress the part

Make sure your child and their friends have amazing party costumes. Popular costumes include spider-man, batman, and iron-man - but you could even make up your own superhero! For smaller parties, you could have a crafting session where they create their own capes. Have a prize for the best cape to add even more fun. If you're having a higher budget party, you could hire an entertainer to come dressed as a superhero, too!

Superhero snacks

Superhero food also is quite easy to make. You can stick for normal party food, but then add a fun twist. We love the idea of cutting sandwiches into cool shapes - such as lightning bolts or stars. It will make their meals so much fun. Featured Image: Sugar Rush Cakes A superhero cake is also sure to complete the party!

Pick your Party Games

For a superhero party, you will want to organise high energy games. You can simply add a twist to traditional party games, too. Obstacle courses All superheroes love an obstacle course! Set one up in your back garden, and let them run wild. Tag Classic games of tag will be so much more fun when dressed as superheroes with capes. Mask making For quieter parties, have a session of mask masking. It is so much fun! You can buy mask making kits from many online stores, or just go and buy the bits yourself at a local craft shop.

So easy!
