This was my first true themed party. I had done the themes before but this one I really, REALLY went all out. We had a superhero themed scavenger hunt as soon as everyone had arrived, did a superhero themed obstacle course, and I got an Iron Man themed Velcro dart board thing which the boys had to shoot nerf bullets at, instead of a pin the tail on the donkey type game...
We played "throw the parcel" instead of pass the parcel because big boys of 8 are apparently too grown up for pass the parcel. My husband managed to get a bunch of comic book posters for free so we used them as a gift in each layer of the parcel, with an extra thing in the last layer of course. The boys were delighted with them!
These were the goodie bags - I ordered cups (from the US - not a cheap way to go about it once you add in postage to the UK!) and put a couple of bits in the bottom, bought cupcake pods and made these cupcakes to put in the top - they were a huge hit!
The piñata of course had to be Loki. Couldn't very well beat up Captain America or Iron Man, so went for a baddie. And we made a Thor's Hammer for hitting it with for added fun!
And my masterpiece.... by FAR the most complicated cake I had every attempted. I got the figures from eBay - they're imaginext ones I think. The towers are made of rice krispie cakes but still they were a huge gamble and it DID start to collapse ever so slightly while at the hall during the party! I had to do a last minute repair, and you will notice my hand in the second photo, holding it just in case it fell again haha!
He absolutely loved it, though - worth every drop of sweat!
Wow Looking so yummy!
