Super Hero Birthday Party

A super hero party is always a hit with little boys. My son was a slightly obsessed with Batman a while back… so I know how much fun this party theme can be!

Check out this awesome Super Hero Party by my friend Jenn at Ambrosia Girl.

Jenn was featured on Cookiemag.com for this fun idea. Scroll down for FREE printables she made just for Living Locurto readers!

For an activity, they had a cape-decorating workshop. Each child was given a package that included a cape, mask, and a stencil of their initial to trace onto felt.

What a cutie!

Enjoy these FREE  PRINTABLES to make your Super Hero party complete!

Basic shape for capes

Download ‘Bif’ ‘Zap’ and ‘Pow’ Bursts

I added my own free printable after getting Jenn’s cute “Bursts”.

The following invitation idea came from my creative friend Amy K… Print this Super Hero Training invite and place in a file folder marked “TOP SECRET”. How fun & easy is that? Just click the image to download. (For personal use only- please see terms of use in my sidebar)

    Amy,

    Those are some great ideas!! And how creative of you to come up with that cake and all the decorations. My daughter just had her 6th birthday and daddy was totally in charge of what happened. Go to this link and tell me how you think I did. Its always nice to ask a fellow Texan. Dont forget to look at all the pics, they’re the best part!

    Awesome, Amy! I love your cake! Especially the custom billboard–perfect! And I’m so excited about the cape download! My sister is planning a superman party for her son this month and I was telling her to do the capes, but didn’t have a pattern for her. I’m going to send her here! Thanks for being my first party guest! You’re the best!

Is there a site that you got this from that I may be able to download directly to make appropriate changes? Thank you for your help and awesome ideas!

    How did you make the capes and with what kind of fabric? They are perfect and have such simple lines. All the other ones I have seen look way more complex.

    Hi! My son wants a super hero party in July and I want to make about 15 capes. What material did you use? and How did you make them? All the patterns or ideas that I have seen so far seem very complicated.

    I LOVE THIS and am planning my 4yr old super-hero-fanatic’s b-day party, as i post this so any help is greatly appreciated. I am totally using ALL these ideas but what fabric did you use? It looks like you did not have to finish the edges with a stitch. That would make the capes sooooo much less work for me. And I cant seem to get the printable of the cape?
