batman birthday party

I could literally add photos for days!  Karen Tyrrell of piccolina photography captured so many wonderful shots of my son's 4th birthday party.  Here are just a few along with details.  I hope they can serve as inspiration for other parents of budding little superheroes!

capes from Sew Plain Jane, tee shirts by littleday press (see below for designs), bam! headband from etsy

We asked all the kids to let us know their superhero names, superhero colors and superhero powers a week before the party so that I could prepare their tee shirts.  I designed a logo for each one and used iron-on transfer paper to add them to the shirts.  You can get more details from a great party I discovered on birthdaypartyideas.com.  I purchased the blank capes from Sew Plain Jane and lots of felt from JoAnn fabric.  I found great templates for masks and shapes from Martha Stewart.  Moms helped their kids cut out shapes and glue them onto their capes (large sheets of double-sided adhesive worked really well for on-the-spot assembly felt glue for extra re-enforcement along the edges).  Finally, I armed them all with silly string to battle the joker!

cupcakes

Sorry I've been MIA for the past 10 days, but I was busy enjoying my brother's wedding just below the Outer Banks of NC and indulging in fabulous wine and food from San Francisco and Napa.  Pictures from some of my favorite boutique wineries will be added soon!

While I was out, Kara from Kara's Party Ideas and Kara's Cupcakes posted my son's little monster birthday party pics on her blog.  I wish I had found her blog while I was preparing.  There is so much wonderful inspiration there!  Be sure to check it out if you will be planning a party soon.  She is also very talented at making cupcakes as you can see from the images above - adorable!

paper invaders

I LOVE this wrapping paper from Whimsy Press! We wrapped a transformer in the paper for a birthday party this weekend and I was more impressed with the presentation than my son was with the actual gift. If I didn't have such an addiction to that website and I hadn't already spent so much money there I would buy more. But, I still have many, many sheets I've hoarded that need to adorn more gifts before I can justify indulging just yet.
