{superhero birthday party}

I had SO much fun with the boy's superhero birthday party. Thanks to a lot of inspiration and ideas from Pinterest, I came up with a super {pun intended} fun cake and candy table, lots of superhero decorations around the house, and their very own gotham city to pose with for pictures. 

When guests arrived they were greeted with a super 4 on the front door {made out of posterboard and lots of these!}...

A special message on the chalkboard...

And a superhero bunting going up the stairs...

And then the real fun started with the cake and candy table! I used lots of inspiration from my Pinterest board for the cupcakes and candy bar...

The cupcake toppers were a DIY project using clipart, a circle punch, 

scrapbook paper and lollipop sticks...

I love these striped straws...one of my favorite touches...

The fireplace was all decked out with lots of DIY touches including superhero
bunting, another big polka dot 4, and their very own super shield...

The shield was another posterboard project, with some more of the
round label stickers around the edges and glitter stars.

The gift table received more of the super treatment...

And now for one of the boys' favorite things...their very own gotham city!

I took a huge cue from this pin to make the city, and the boys had fun helping me arrange all of the windows on the buildings. This was made completely with dollar store posterboard, and the background is a roll of wrapping paper. 

Guests were given a big basket full of masks, signs, and superhero shields {made out of paper plates and glitter stars} so they could strike a pose...

And we had a lot of fun with it...

It is actually still up on our wall as I'm typing this. :) I think it will be making
the move to the boys' playroom so they can keep enjoying it.

So that was their party! It was by far my favorite of their birthday parties so far. Not sure how I can top it next year, but I'll sure try!
