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

My Super hero! my Father.... Happy Fathers Day!!!!

In raising a kid both mother and father act as a pillar of support and strength. We celebrate mother hood with mother’s day and now its turn to show our dearest daddies what they are for us. For every kid father is and would always be their Super hero and keeping this in mind lets now plan a nice Super Hero theme party for our Super daddies as a Fathers Day treat.

Super hero theme parties are very easy to plan. But with a little creativity we can add that zing to the party. You can select a character of your choice and plan the party. Now it’s your choice what kind of party you want a simple family lunch or a grand party with your dads friends

Since I feel its something private and personal I  prefer having a small family get together and spend some quality time with my dad. Since spider man is dad and my special and favorite Super hero I planned to have a small Spider Man theme party.

For my simple lunch party I have selected few balloons, crepe paper and nice table ware.

These crepe sheets are good for decoration and has huge scope of creativity. I think ill probably decorate the walls by making a spider web from these crepe sheets.

Moving on to balloons (my favorite) .For me party decoration is incomplete with out Balloons. Since I use them every time and this time its no different. For my daddy cool I have these real nice balloons where are made for Spider man theme. These balloons have webs printed on them which are apt for the theme.

if you are not able to find theme then not to worry darlings a backup plan is always there for you. You can replace these balloons with a bunch of red and blue balloons.

Now moving on to the table ware I have this plates, cups and napkins that I found. Since I got everything separately but there is this kit which very similar to the design I selected.

and the finale of the party is the cake. NO! I m not baking it but yes buying from the cake shop. And I have selected this design.

Bridal Shower Ideas

Bridal shower- A gift giving ceremony organized for the bride to be before her wedding. Generally the bridal shower party is organized by the bridesmaid and close friends but now days even the in-laws of the brides have started to organize bridal shower for the lovely bride.

Being the bridesmaid it your duty to make this day the best and the most memorable day of her life . to help you in this I have few ideas that might come handy while organizing the bridal shower.

One can always go in for various fun themes like Hawaiiian  theme or Caribbean theme but I personally like a classy and elegant flavor in the party. Going in for some solid color theme or any floral theme

Classic Pink theme

A particular color theme is very simple but it should be carefully implemented as over doing it can ruin the complete look of the party. A simply classic pink theme looks very feminine  and nice. Having a pink theme doesn’t mean we put everything pink, for nice look we compliment pink by combining it with a base color like white.

Decoration:

Room decoration:

For the room decoration pink nice pink and white balloons and crape paper.

Table decoration:

For the table pick a either a solid white color table cloth or a very light soft pink table cloth and put up a nice centerpiece and add on some ribbon detailing like a thin ribbon bow on d spoons.

with a little creativity these curling ribbons can also be used for adding detailing to your decorations

Table ware:

Drink Glasses:

For serving drinks to your guests use these nice clear glasses which look elegant and gives a nice classic feel.

Cutlery:

Use nice pink color plates ,glasses, napkins, spoons and forks for serving the lunch to your guests.

To reduce the pain of collecting all the above things I found this kit which provides you with most of the things.

Cosmic black and white theme

My favorite theme. Since black and white are my favorite colors and they look very elegant and classic at the same time.

Decoration

Under this theme put on nice printed balloons and tie them with curling ribbons  as plain black and white gives it a dull look to the decorations. With this color scheme not much of decorations should be done.

Table decoration:

As above idea u can have spoons with ribbon bow on them and for the centerpiece keep a glass with white flower sitting.

Table ware:

For serving drinks go for these clear glasses.

Cutlery

For the cutlery go for nice elegant plates and glasses.

Nobody wants their guest to leave soon. If they do then its obvious your party could not make them stick to their seats. So for making your party a hit take the help of few interesting games.

Games

The Gist: A way to put the bride in the hot seat.

How to Play: Before the bridal shower, interview the groom and ask him questions about the bride and their relationship: "Where was your first kiss?" "What's his most annoying habit?" Then at the shower, ask the bride the same questions and see if she can answer correctly. To get the full effect, record video footage of the groom's answers and play back his responses to each question for everyone to see and hear (allow a pause between questions.)

The Gist: A just-for-fun idea for a lingerie shower

How to Play: On the invites, ask each guest to bring underwear or lingerie gifts that matches their personality and style. Hang a clothesline across the room and have everyone hang their underwear on as they arrive. The bride-to-be then has to guess who each lingerie gift is from. At the end of the day, she goes home with a new panty wardrobe!

The Gist: It's the purse version of scavenger hunt

How to Play: Before the shower, create a list of standard items you might have in your purse -- start with the basics (a compact, credit cards, keys) and work your way up to more random or risqué objects (condoms, dog treats). The host calls out the items on the list and the first guest to pull the object from their purse wins a small prize, We love the idea of giving out the bride's favorite things, like books or movies, beauty products or baked goods.

Best Mother's Day Gift Ideas

A friend, a guide, a mentor and a bundle of unending love, so many roles and just one person- MOTHER. Mother, someone who has always been there for us, cares for us and understands us even when no body else could. Mother does so much for us keeping aside her life and herself just being there for us with a smile on her face. We can never thank her enough for all that she did and has been doing for us.

Mother’s Day for me is a very special day as it gives me a chance to thank my mum for everything and give her a smile and memory that she cherishes for rest of the year. Every year I try to make her feel as special as she is for me. As the  I have started to scribble my ideas to make this day very special for us. If you guys also want to make your mother feel special and don’t know how to go by it then here are few ideas that can help you.

Few things that can be done on Mother's Day are:-

·         Buy some flowers for her.
·         Special soap, bath oil, lotions or perfume are all gifts that can make the Mother's Day memorable.
·         if you can afford it, taking your mother away somewhere nice overnight is a wonderful Mother’s Day surprise.
·         Make her breakfast in bed, do all the housework and cleaning that day, cook dinner so your mother can have a day of pure relaxation.
·         If you don’t live with your mother, make a surprise visit on Mother’s Day and take her out to lunch.
·         Make a home video with your siblings expressing respect and love for your mother, play it for her on Mother’s Day.
·         Present her with a taste-bud-pleasing box of chocolates.

If you planning to throw a little surprise party for your mother then few things that you can do are have a backyard party and call all your mothers friends( who themselves are mother) . Clean up the backyard and decorate it with nice foil balloons and few lanterns or buntings. Keep things as simple as possible as spring blooms and buds would do wonders. 

Put a small table with snacks and drinks. Use nice tableware like Plates, Spoons, Napkins to add finishing touches to the celebrations.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what you buy your mother, the important thing is to do something out of the ordinary, something to let her know that you’ve thought of her and how special she is to you.

Happy Mothers Day!!!

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!
