Popart Superhero Birthday Party

Maddox as Batman for his 5th Birthday party at the bowling alley.  He chose the theme of Justice League and I tied in a little Pop Art to give it an added PUNCH! (No pun intended)

Older brother, Ronan, went as Green Lantern.

Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern. 

11 boys (plus two younger ones not pictured) all together.  England is not so big on dressing up for things. We had2 boys that were Justice League themed, one marvel superhero, one Indiana Jones (um, might have gotten confused from Ronan's party invite back in January?),  one police officer, and four in plain street clothes.  I think in hindsight I should have just had Maddox dress up and made capes for all the other kids for better themed photo.  Or try it again in the USA. 

This was our party host who orchestrated the whole bowling party.  She was amazing.  Keeping 11 boys under the age of 9 in line while dealing with heavy bowling balls is not an easy feat. 

Maddox and boys lining up to start bowling.

The birthday banner I made from Flash comics with Maddox's name on it. We used it to decorate the party table. 

The party bags that I made with the Pop Art comic book theme. I bought a bag of confetti and glued each dot on, one at a time. 

The table center piece  with the pop art dots and an M (for Maddox) and a 5 (for his age) which I collaged in Flash and DC comics. 

Each boy got a photo frame/thank you card that I collaged individually in comics. 

Another look at the photo frame/thank you cards. 

Since the cake pops fell through, I decorated lollipops with masks and capes.  Using a two tier cake stand, I decorated it with the cup cake toppers I made. 

Another look at the center piece. 

Wonder Woman and Batman gift tags. 

I believe all the photo frame/thank you cards were Flash themed.  

Maddox telling his dad, Superman, how much fun he is having at his party. 

Holy Cupcakes Batman it is time for food! (Sadly with the cake pops not turning out, we ended up leaving the back up cake at home. So no singing at this party.  Thats okay because they don't eat birthday cake at the kid parties in England. 

As the kids were getting ready to leave, we quickly rounded up a few of them for a very quick photo with the felt masks I sewed and put in each of the goodie bags.
