Super Man Theme Party Ideas

Up in the sky, look: It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman! 

Using crepe paper of red and blue color we decorated the back yard. Placed red and blue balloons. In the market we found nice superman standups which we placed in the entrance where every kid stood n got his picture clicked with the Super man.

With all the super hero movies coming up the craze of super heros amongst kids has increased tremendously. Now days everyone wants to dress up like a super hero and  have a super hero theme birthday party. I recently got a chance to plan a super man theme party and the experience I had is worth sharing.  The party was declared a big HIT not just by the kids but also by the parents.

Since summers have hit the town we planned a backyard party at Mrs & Mr. James(my clients) place. It was kris(their son) 5^th birthday. On his demand we had everything with the Superman theme. Got a Super Costume for Kris, and all the decoration and cake and favors everything was given a Superman touch.

Starting off with the costume we ordered a Deluxe Super Man Costume. It looked so real

Heading towards the decorations. I follow my style of keeping everything simple and yet very attractive ;)

Now comes the best part the “GAME”. We planned a super man hero training game. We handed over every kid an envelop which had clues to the task in it on completion of all the task the kid was rewarded with the title of SUPERMAN. Since with great powers comes great responsibility and this game had all the tested with fun. At the end of each task the next clue to the task was kept. To make the game more interesting we had set a time limit in which the kids had to find the clue and only the kids who completed task ina given amount of time cud go to the next task.

The tasks were as follows:

1) To check the speed: in this kids had to run back and forth between 2 poles, the kid with who could get 5 or more runs with in a minute went to the second task.

2) To check memory: we showed kids 10 items for a 1 min and they had to remember each and write down the names. Kids with maximum correct items went to the 3rd task

3) Jumping from the buildings: in this task we had set a hurdle race for the kids.

4) Xray eyes: we kept a box filled with stuff and covered it with a black paper and made a hole through which the kids could put hteir hands inside the box. Each kid had to feel and find the item asked from the box in a given time limit.

5) Rescue people: in this task again we had a race in which each kid had to pull a bucket of water but had to make sure that the water doesn’t fall out.

6) Finally kill the bad guy: in this the final task kids had to find the bad guy( a box in the shape of bad guy) kids had to open it and blow the whistle kept inside the box indicating the defeat of the evil. The kid who did the task first was crowned with the title of super man or super girl.

Every kid enjoyed this game so much that it totally proved a big hit amongst not just kids but elders as well. The winner was given a super man ring and a SuperMan plush toy.

After the game it was time to fill in the empty tummies of every body.  We had setup the food on a table having a blue and red plates spoons napkins and glasses

.

And near the cake we kept a cup cake stand with superman cup cakes on it. At the end we gave superman t-shirts to every kid as a party favor but yes these favors could be replaced with any other item like a superman note pad or pens if the t-shirt go a little out of budget for you all.

Everything in this party was just so perfect that I feel so proud of my team J

Lots of Geeky Fun! Planning a Star Wars Themed Birthday Party for Kids

Star Wars movies and TV shoes have imprinted their name in the halls of sci-fi fandom for eons to come. From kids to fully grown men and women, the Star Wars franchise has developed a cult following from people all over the globe. Even nowadays, with the last film being released in 2005 and the new one set for a 2015 release, people especially kids are still attached to the movie characters, thanks in no small part to the comic books, computer games and other Star Wars paraphernalia. It is exactly for this continued devotion of the kids to the saga, that I thought that a Star Wars themed birthday party would be a great idea. I mean if your child's birthday is coming up and he/she happens to be a Star Wars fan, then throwing him a party themed on something that he loves is a very good idea.

Planning a costume extravaganza, where your kid and all the other children invited are dressed as Star Wars characters is a great idea for a happening party! You can dress up the boys in cool character costumes like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker or Yoda, while the girls can dress up as the iconic Princess Leia or Queen Amidala. You can accessories the outfit with lightsabers or guns so as to give the kids something to play about. Lets start with ideas for the costumes, shall we?

Star Wars Kid Costumes

Funky costumes such as the menacing Darth Vader or the heroic Luke Skywalker will definitely excite the boys. These costumes with their cool masks and capes are just the sort of thing that little boys like. Darth Vader as the Sith whom all feared, is held in awe by many children. You can go for a Darth Vader Costume like this one.

While some prefer the dark side, others prefer the protectors AKA the Jedi. The most famous of the Jedi is no doubt Luke Skywalker and I am sure your son will love to dress up as one. 

Another favorite of the boys is the Jedi Master, Yoda. The beloved tutor of Luke Skywalker, as the patient and powerful warrior he is, is a great costume choice.

Coming to the girls now, a popular choice is no doubt, Princess Leia. The warrior princess is loved by today's independent girls who like such feisty characters.

Girls can also choose to dress up Princess Leia's mother, Queen Amidala. The costume with its red hues is preferred by many young girls.

Star Wars Themed Costume Accessories

What would Luke Skywalker do WITHOUT his Lightsaber? That is the question your son will ask you if you bought him just a costume and no lightsaber to go with it. Costume accessories after all, are not merely add-ons; they help to add finesse to a costume. You can choose from lightsabers, gloves and many others.

Lightsabers are the preferred choice of weapon in the galaxies that populate the Star Wars universe. A light blue saber like this one will definitely catch your kid's attention.

If you're going for Darth Vader, when picking the costumes, you should also go for matching gloves. It might even keep your naughty boy a bit cleaner as he goes about playing all kinds of games!

Star Wars Themed Party Supplies

To make sure all the guests are happy (in this case a bunch of temperamental kids, so buck up!), there are a few things you can do. Games, toys, return gifts are just some of the things you should be considering and they are not that expensive as well.

A cool board game is a must-have for any party involving kids. They do get tired of running around and when this happens, a simple board game should keep them entertained. You can find lots of board games that are based on Star Wars.

A birthday party like any party requires for your guests to be properly invited. In this case, it means sending the invitation cards to the parents of all the children you want to come. A good idea is to send a proper invitation card, one that makes clear about the theme of the party. Similarly, thank you cards are also a good way to appreciate everyone coming up for the party. You can go for something like this:

             

While invitation cards add a nice formal touch to the occasion, return gifts make sure that all the kids go back with a smile on their faces! While a birthday party should concentrate on the boy or girl whose birthday is in fact being celebrated, there is no harm in giving a small gift to all the other kids. Star Wars themed party favor kits, which contain an assortment of things like stickers and toys, are definitely the ones to go for.

This pretty much wraps up my ideas on how to throw an amazing Star Wars themed birthday party for your child. Let us know in the comments section, how it went? Good Luck!
