Spiderman Birthday Party

A Spiderman birthday party is the perfect theme for any fan of the action hero. To create the ultimate super hero bash, incorporate Spiderman details in all aspects of your party from the invitations to the party favors. Here are some great Spiderman birthday party ideas to inspire the party planning:

• Invitations: Send out Spiderman themed digital invitations 3-4 weeks before the party. Include a spider or spider web detail and Spiderman colors like blue, red and black to complement the party theme. Use Spiderman invitation wording like, “Swing on over with Spiderman for Jon's birthday bash!” Make sure you include important details such as the time, date, and location of the party.

• Decorations: Use the Spiderman colors as the focal point for all of your Spiderman birthday decorations and hang red, blue, and black balloons around your party space. Cover your tables with either blue or red table covers. For table decorations, place plastic spiders and Spiderman action figures in the center of each table. Create your own spider webs with black felt and hang them on your walls and ceiling. Additional Spiderman birthday supplies to include are Spiderman party hats, Spiderman dolls, Spiderman masks, and spider themed paper plates, cups and napkins.

• Spiderman: To add a special touch to your Spiderman birthday party, hire an actor to come to the party as Spiderman. This will be a huge surprise for the kids and will provide entertainment. Use a Polaroid camera to take pictures of each party guest with Spiderman so they can take it home as a keepsake.

• Food & Beverages: Create a superhero themed party menu. It’s hard to make party food into spider creations, so re-name them with Spiderman inspired names. Things like, “Peter Parker Pizza”,  “Spidey Sandwiches”, “Green Goblin Guacamole”, “Black Cat Chips”, and “Mary Jane Macaroni” are all festive and unique. Make a Spiderman themed beverage from red fruit punch and call it, “Spider Juice”.

• Cake: For dessert, have either a Spiderman birthday cake or opt for Spiderman cupcakes. If you are having a Spiderman birthday cake then make sure it is topped with a Spiderman cake topper. For cupcakes, make your own by using chocolate cupcake mix, vanilla frosting, red frosting and candy spiders. Bake and frost the cupcakes with the vanilla frosting. Then use the red frosting to make spider webs and top with a candy spider. You can also use this same decorating technique on rice crispy treats or sugar cookies.

• Party Favors: As party favors, give out Spiderman gift bags filled with toy spiders, a Spiderman mask, stickers and candy. Another idea is to give the kids a classic Spiderman comic book or coloring book.
