Superhero Party Invitations

A great invitation is key to pulling off a great Superhero party. Here are a few ideas to include-

Dressed to Impress: Assign each kid to be a certain hero, or have them make up their own hero identity and have them come in costume.

Games and Entertainment

Superhero Training Course: Set up obstacle courses with tunnels, cones, and hurdles for kids to navigate.
Pin the Emblem on the Superhero: Just like “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” but with a superhero twist!
Superpower Freeze Dance: Play music and have the kids dance like superheroes. When the music stops, they must freeze in their superhero poses!
Villain Capture: Create “villains” with balloons and have the kids capture them with squirt guns.
Mask Making Station: Provide felt and markers for kids to design their own superhero masks.
Cape Creations: Have each child decorate an easy no-sew child’s cape.
Flashlight Tag: Divide into 2 teams – Heroes & Vilians. Set up a captured area & safe area for both teams, and choose one hero and one villain to be “it.” Then tell each team to run and hide while the two people who are it count to 20. The villains can capture heroes and heroes capture villains by shinning their flashlight onto someone and calling out their hero or villain name. Those who are captured go to the captured area. The captured heroes and villains can only be released if one of their teammates tags their hand. The goal is to get your entire team to the safe zone without getting captured. This is a fun game that can last a long time.
Scavenger Hunt: Simply give them clues and riddles for different things they need to find.
Superhero Photo Booth: Set up a backdrop with city skyline cutouts and provide masks and capes for kids to pose in.
Face Painting: Hire a face painter to turn the little guests into their favorite superheroes.
Live Superhero Appearance: Surprise the kids with a visit from a professional superhero character for pictures and fun!
