ISSUE 17: SUPERHERO MAGAZINE SHOOT

BAM!! You’re going to love this EPIC Superhero collaboration shoot created by our Melbourne Celebrate Society members (doors open in Feb to JOIN us, get on the waitlist here)

This shoot was for our recent online magazine and I love the modern colour scheme mixed in with the comic style incredible backdrop:

This was styled by The Enchanted Studios in Melbourne, whose venue it was also hosted in – a gorgeous blank canvas!

 

 

The backdrop is the true feature of this Superhero birthday party – with amazing balloons by LUFT Balloons and backdrops by Event Signs and props by Empire Events by Maggie:

 

 

 

 

The table settings were amazingly coordinated with the colour scheme!:

 

 

Absolutely love the cute candy boxes by Karamela Candy Boxes featured at each place setting:

 

 

 

The super cake and desserts were all created by Valery’s Delights and we how she brought the Superhero theme and colours through:

 

 

 

The desserts were displayed on a gorgeous 3 tier prop from Hazel Events and Prop Hire Melbourne:

 

How fun are these Superhero birthday cookies and desserts?:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The kids were entertained by Little Party Faces along with entertainers from the venue The Enchanted Studios and enjoyed face painting and balloon twisting!

 

 

 

The ball pit and slide by Boujee by Ashtons Melbourne was also a huge hit and looked amazing too:

 

 

 

 

The kids were able to take home cute favour boxes filled with treats:

 

 

 

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this Superhero shoot and birthday celebration and it inspires your child’s own superhero birthday party!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a superman party!

POW! Do we have a party to share with you today from one of our Sydney based members Sweet Heavenly Events & Party Hire

Using their amazing range of plinths, cake stands and kids chairs combined with their styling talent, Sweet Heavenly Events in Sydney were able to put together this superhero party which is truly out of this world!

I love how the clear plinths and ghost chairs really make the desserts, backdrop and decorations stand out! Plinths have become so on-trend lately and Sweet Heavenly Events have a range of plinths in various colours and shapes which are a must-see if you want plinths for your next dessert table!

Theming the plinths and chairs using these decals is a fantastic way to truly customise a party setup!:

 

 

 

 

 

Balloon garlands for table centrepieces are another on-trend styling idea:

Batman Party Supplies

Ka-Pow! Splat! Oooff!

How cool were the pop culture Batman comics back in the day? Like all good Superhero’s, he’s morphed over time but never really gone out of style, making a Batman party a popular choice for children’s birthday parties of all ages, and an easy one to source and style for.

 

 

 

 

Whether you choose the bold and bright colours of the comics as your inspiration, or colour blocked black and white or yellow, the options are endless with this theme, as are the supplies available to pull it all together. So we’ve rounded up a few finds from our LLC vendors to give you a head start.

 

Batman Party Invitations

When I think of Batman, his iconic bat signal instantly comes to mind, as does a lot of black and the comic book speech bubbles. Of course not everyone is expected to be Batman, so you can also  extend the invitation to all Superhero’s (or Villains) with a more general superhero invite:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Batman Party Decorations

Pick your colour palette and have some fun decorating your space with plenty of punch (pardon the pun!) and props for the Superhero’s to act out their alter egos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have a little batgirl instead?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cool batman pinata also doubles as a great decoration:

 

 

 

Perfect for the younger ones, a pint sized Bat Mobile!

 

 

 

Tableware

To ensure Batman plays the lead role in his own show, keep the tableware to a minimum of two colours, or use coordinated plates, napkins and cups for the comic book effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cake, cookies and toppers

If you’ve predominately used block colours to decorate, cake toppers, the cake itself and custom cookies are a great way to incorporate the Batman logo into your theme, and likewise if you’ve chosen the comic approach, as it will ensure Batman is still in the spotlight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cookies make a great take home gift too when wrapped in cellophane and tied off with black ribbon or twine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Favours

Keep the excitement going well after the party with these great finds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, for our mini Batman fans – this post would not be complete without a costume! Perfect for first birthday photos, smashing into their first bite of cake. Too cute!!

 

 

Phew! With so much to choose from for this theme and so many ways of interpreting it, I hope this post has taken out some of the leg work out of it for you!

 

See you next time at the same Bat time on the same Bat channel…..(couldn’t help myself!).

 

Superhero Theme

If your child would love to have Super powers a Superhero party is the perfect chance for them to at least pretend for a day, that they do!

As you can see from the printable designs below – a generic superhero theme or one based on a comic book look, are popular rather than only a specific character (ie superman, batman etc) party.

Remember to visit the Party Directory section of this site in the midst of planning for this party to find all the items and suppliers you need! You can view my PINTEREST board for this theme here.
