LEGO Superhero Birthday Party

So it has only taken half a YEAR for me to get around to it, but I am finally posting photos from Henry's 4th birthday party. He had a fabulous time, of course, and recently asked to go back to Coppermine Fieldhouse for his next birthday. And the invitations and decorations have been extremely popular in my Etsy store (especially around the time the new Lego movie came out in February).

Mod Batman Birthday Party

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na.....BATMAN!

I know...I know.....It's way overdue, but here are the details from my son's 3rd birthday party back in September.

Here are the invitations. They are currently available online in my etsy store.  I wanted a more modern, customized take on the standard Batman design. I played with the colors a little to get something a little lighter and brighter than the usual bold blue, black, and yellow.

 I bought the A4 Pochette from Paper Presentation in black, lined it with black dot paper and mounted the invitation inside. I printed custom stickers for the outside of the pouchette to hold it closed.

I also purchased the outer blue envelopes from Paper Presentation. I loved these invitations!!! Are they cute or what? How am I going to top these next year?

The decorations from the party...

I found this number "3" letter, already white, at Hobby Lobby. I just stapled ribbon to the back for hanging and printed a Bat Signal to glue onto the front.

I designed a few 18x24 signs that I printed and mounted onto foam core board. The cupcakes were from a local grocery story, Graul's. They always come through for me! I take a design and the ladies in their bakery replicate it exactly. I've used it for all of Henry's birthday parties with great results!

I always knew one day I'd find the perfect party to match my favorite Fishs Eddy dishes!

The black zig-zag bags also came from Paper Presentation. I used the for the favors and just attached a label to the front.

The favor bag contained fruit snacks and some basic Batman items I found at Party City.

I also printed some of the graphics at a small scale and framed them as subtle decorations in the living room and dining room.

Each child at the party got their own Bat cape and mask. I purchased the masks at Party City, but made the capes. I used blue plastic table cloths and adhesive velcro. I just traced out the shape, based on a cape my son already had, and simply cut it out of the tablecloth. Then I just stuck the velcro, which I cut into squares, at the neck of the cape. Honestly, this was a total trial effort with the capes. I fully expected the velcro to never hold, or hold for a little while and then peel off. It never happened. That stuff is surprisingly strong...and sticky!!!!!

I also converted the basement into a make-shift Bat Cave.

And finally, a few photos from the party!!!!

Batman was more than happy to pose in full costume for his thank you card!!!!!!
