Batman Birthday Party

Does your child love to wear an black eye mask and cape and parade around as the Caped Crusader? If the answer is yes, it sounds like a Batman birthday party is right up his alley. From the invitations to the cake to the activities, a Batman birthday is an exciting way to make your child’s dreams come true.

Here are some easy Batman birthday party ideas to help you bring the magic of Gotham City into your home:

• Invitations: Send out your invitations 3-4 weeks before the party. Batman's signature colors are black and yellow with some blue and gray. Use these colors on your invitation and incorporate the Batman theme into the wording of the invite. For example, “Batman invites you to Gotham City in honor of Evan's 7th birthday!" If you want the kids to come dressed as their favorite superhero, make a note on the invitations so parents can be prepared.

• Decorations: Use Batman's colors, mask, and bat signal to transform your party space into Gotham City. To start, hang lots of black, blue, and yellow balloons throughout the space to make it look festive. Next, make a sign out of cardboard that reads, “Welcome to Gotham City,” and place it at the entrance of the party. To incorporate the bat signal, make bat signal place cards using black cardboard and a silver marker for the names.

• Activity #1: To make your batman theme complete, play Batman birthday party games. One idea for a hands-on activity is cape and mask decorating. Provide the children with their own batman mask and black felt cape to decorate. Set up a decoration station with glue, glitter, felt, letters, beads, etc. and allow them to get creative. Once all of the capes and masks are dry, have everyone put on their superhero gear to play a few classic birthday party games.

• Activity #2: Batman trivia is a fun way to test everyone’s superhero knowledge. Create a list of Batman related questions to ask the kids. Have everyone pair up into teams and the team with the most points at the end wins a prize.

• Cake: A Batman birthday cake is an essential part of a superhero celebration. Make a 3-tiered cake that is frosted with chocolate frosting. Decorate your cake with the Batman signal or a Batman cake topper. A tip for some easy additional decorations is to use blue and yellow ribbon. Curl the ribbon and place it around the base of the cake to make it look even more festive.

• Party Favors: For the perfect Batman party favors, give out themed goodie bags at the end of the party. Fill the bags with candy, Batman tattoos, Batman pencils, and Batman stickers. Everyone will love them!
