Entertaining | Kids Party Inspiration
My kiddos Superhero party was a hit! They had so much fun.
As each hero arrived, they got suited up in their own personalized disguises.
I created the design in the Silhouette layout program, it was super easy! And I simply used the heat transfer paper I had on hand. I made the masks with felt (I downloaded the mask template from here) and sewed on an elastic band. Although the sewing of the capes was a bit challenging, I absolutely love how they turned out.
I even made one for Mom and Dad.
When they were all duded up, Super Diesel and Super Fia led a race around the city...aka an obstacle course around our playroom.
With a book exchange at the end...this was such a great substitute to traditional gifts. Everyone came with a book and everyone left with a book. It allowed the party to be less about stuff and more about having fun with friends.
Then it was onto "make your own superhero"!
I picked up the boy/girl cardboard cut-outs from Michaels and simply double stick taped on a cape and mask. It was super fun to see all of the decorated heroes...plus to was nice to get them calmed down after the obstacle course.
Then a little bingo...what party is complete without bingo? I personalized the bingo boards and used fruit snacks for the markers. And yes, everyone was a winner because they all got to eat up the snacks at the end!
Tomorrow I will show you the party decorations, this was a fun theme to decorate...

You did such a great job with this, Chelsea! I cannot believe you made all the capes and masks ~ boy, you are good! I think we need to see a picture of you in yours though. : ) Love the idea of a book exchange in lieu of gifts.
OH my!!! I've been waiting for this post and the fact that it's part 1 means you've been SUPER busy!!
Can't wait to see what else you've done!! Great job on the sewing.
Happy Birthday to your twins! SUPER cute!
this party completely and utterly puts mine to shame! This year I might get crazy and host a fairy party. I have some great ideas for it!
Okay now this is just too cute!! Makes me want my kids to be little again. Great job your creativity amazes me.
I am definitely going to snag your book exchange idea. we usually just say no gifts please but people always bring them anyways. It looks like it was a "super" party, good job supermom!
Wow on the capes!
I like the book exchange idea, especially so soon after Christmas.
I LOVE that idea. How sweet they each get their own cape, SO personal and so memorable for each guests. Great Thinking, Love the mom-dad ones too..

What an adorable party! It looks like they all had a blast. The superhero bingo is a great idea, though I wonder how many times you had to refill their gumdrop markers!! Yum!
Thanks for sharing,

I love your idea for decorating a superhero. I really like to have a crafty component for my parties and this one was PERFECT!!!
The kids at my son's party designed a super hero scene. But your concept was my inspiration.
I have a post about that and the other activities we did for his superhero training camp here. I also provided a link back to your site. Thanks again!
