Bam!

::welcome to your

superhero party!

INTRODUCTION It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a superhero party! You don’t need super

powers for this party—just a few super skills. Start everything off with a bang, 3D invitations

that you can print yourself. Next, transform a simple cake in a snap. It’s easier than you think.

Once the action begins, lead party guests through their own superhero training. There are

six activities that will test even the most seasoned sidekicks. Young heroes will be hungry

after a day of fighting crime so serve them up some yummy snacks that increase elasticity

and boost invisibility. As the fun is winding down send everyone off with their own cape so

they can continue to stop crime at home. This party is action packed so pull out those old

comic books and let’s go up up and away!

I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but our favorite thing about parties is teaching you how to

re-create every detail. This party has been photographed to show you our process so that

you can have this same party yourself. But more than that, we believe parties are all about

building memories. Most tutorials are kid friendly, so don’t be afraid to involve your child in

creating this party. Because after all, we think children should be celebrated everyday.

Feel free to use our party ideas, but remember to play nice. This PDF is for personal use only.

party overview

printing invitations We recommend printing the Superhero invitations

on bright white matte photo or brochure paper from an office supply store. Be sure to use

the highest quality settings on your printer. These invitations fit an A7 size envelope and the

thank you’s fit an A2 size envelope. If you’d like stamps to match this theme, try searching

eBay for the DC Comics Superhero and the Marvel Comics Superhero Collections from the

US Postal Service.

For a cool invitation, show off your super skills with 3D invites. They are clear and easy to

read with or without 3D glasses, but your party guests are sure to go crazy if you include a

pair in the mailing envelope. 3D glasses are available at party supply stores.

wow! what a cake To make an ordinary cake fit for a Super Kid, just add a

little zap! Print these cake toppers from the printables section, cut out, and tape to 6” sucker

sticks. You can add your own embellishments as well, like this star centerpiece spray from a

local party supply store. Add candies in a coordinating color to the base of the cake for extra

pop. Place it all on top of a 12” cake stand in bonnie blue milk glass, and pow--it’s party time.

comic book banner Purchase new comic books or look for old ones at thrift stores

and antiques shops. These should only cost a few dollars.

Supplies: a few comic books, a ruler & exacto knife (or paper trimmer), red extra wide double fold bias

tape, a sewing machine

Directions: Carefully tear pages out of the comic books. Using an exacto knife and ruler (or paper

trimmer) cut comic book pages from the 2 top corners to the center bottom to create a triangle. Using

a straight stitch on a sewing machine, tuck the triangles in between the bias tape fold and sew them

in. Leave a space at both ends for tying.

wonder dogs Every superhero needs a sidekick and the best kind is a ‘Wonder

Dog.’ Grill up some hot dogs and serve with a variety of fruits and vegetables that will get

kids excited about eating healthy. These snacks will boost their hero powers, improve their

laser vision, enhance agility, increase elasticity and more! Print and cut out food labels (from

the printables section), tape onto sucker sticks, and place in bowls.

thanks to our heroes the city is safe again!
