Marvel Party Idea: Entertainment
Costumed Character
From Storm to the Wolverine, costumed characters, aka superheroes, are pretty popular in Disneyland and at ComicCon. With a grand entrance, they can amaze everyone at your kid’s party by also performing hilarious tricks, cool costumes, catchphrases, and more.
They can also stand for multiple photos, read stories from Marvel comics, and create a real-life experience that you'll never forget. After all, it's not every day you get to see a Marvel superhero in the real world.
Balloon Twister
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's swords made entirely out of balloons! Talk about a secret weapon; a balloon twister can travel near and far with an array of balloon colors and sizes. They will be honored to create Loki's tesseract or Nakia's ring blades. These objects not only look cool, but they're super fun to play with too!
Face Painters
Now that’s a transformation! Face painters don't receive enough credit as these professionals turn ordinary people into superhumans! Whether your kid would like to look like She-Hulk or Deadpool, a face painter can help them look like a dream come true. With easy-to-wash products, you and your kids can easily transform back to normal after a long day.
Magician
Are you ready to see what real magic looks like? A mighty magician can be your best option. Known for creating disappearing acts and crazy cool card tricks, these experts can make all children laugh, smile, and say, "wow!" Between doves in a box and rabbits in a hat, once you hire a magician, you'll create the Marvel factor you wish you had.
Photo Booth
Since we don't have Doctor Strange's powers to remember or forget things, we might need a little help remembering every second of your Marvel-themed party. A photo booth can capture dance moves, heroic poses, and more. They can set up a fun booth with a colorful backdrop and take photos as each guest arrives.
Party Inflatables
If you have enough space for a large food station and adorable juice boxes, you'll have enough space for a giant party inflatable. These inflatables can be found across the globe with wild designs and sizes from an event hire near you.
With a range of massive castles and jungle-themed houses, you can find a bounce house that your child will love. If you want to go all out, you can take this Marvel party idea and add a smooth slide and ball pit for a safe and exhilarating drop from the top.
Marvel Party Idea: Creative Details
Big Backdrop
Travel alongside your favorite Guardian of the Galaxy or fight alongside Thor in the "Shadow Realm" with a giant space backdrop. You can get creative with a variety of settings from your kids' favorite Marvel movie.
If you'd like to recreate the first Avengers movie in the Big Apple, you can find an event planner that can design and print your kid’s favorite scene. Each backdrop can also include a fun frame to hold each scene together.
Strange Streamers
Party planning just got better with an array of streamers! Magical and flexible, these thin strips of paper can make any venue go from ordinary to extraordinary. You can hang each piece from your doorway to create a portal to your kid's party.
If you've got quite a lot to use, you can place these streamers on the ceiling and create a tent-like setting. Once you know where your streamers will be placed, it's time to pick your kid's favorite colors, from bright blue to mysterious magenta.
Magic Masks
Are you ready to go full DIY? Because masks are fun and easy accessories to make at home. With cardboard, glitter, and suitable colored pencils, you can turn a simple piece of paper into your very own Spiderman mask!
These masks can be tied with string or elastic to keep the mask on all day long. If you don't have these items at home, you can also place these masks onto a stick so your kids can look like as many superheroes as they like.
Dress Up
No matter how old you or your kids are, dressing up like your favorite TV or movie character will never get old. In the MCU, there are tons of superheroes to explore and choose from. The great thing about comic books is that there's someone for everyone, from robots and witches to kings and queens.
So, make your party a blast by finding the best costume. This Marvel party idea can include long capes, bright tights, crowns, gloves, claws, and even belts.
Marvel Party Idea: Games & Activities
Piñata
Forget the candy table because it's time to break your piñata! Using a baseball bat or large stick, as well as an eye mask, you can create a fun game in seconds. Taking turns in a circle, you and your kids can have one swing at a time to break the object and receive tons of candy.
Though these piñatas are traditionally shaped into a star, you can swap the original shape for a Marvel hero, like Hawkeye, or even a mighty villain like Thanos.
Laser Tag
Whether you are booking a big community hall or hosting your party from home, you can find enough space to create a laser tag station. If you don’t have the right tools, laser tag facilities near you offer laser guns and boards to rent.
With the use of these mobile weapons, you can create your own battlefield and fight like Natasha Romanova in the movie Black Widow. This game won't be complete without getting into groups and adding some fun background music. Once you're ready to play, set out some ground rules, and remember, the team with the most agents standing wins!
Movie Corner
It's not a Marvel party without a bit of Marvel movies and shows to watch. Inside or out, you can set up a movie corner for you or your kids to enjoy. This movie area can include a digital projector or a large TV screen, alongside comfortable couches, pillows, blankets, and much more.
From streaming on sites like Disney+ to bringing out your limited DVD sets, this entertaining corner can be your way of sharing some of the best movies of the MCU.
Captain America's Shield
From fighting aliens to long-lost friends, your kids can have some fun with a couple of frisbees. Decorated with Captain America's famous silver star, blue border, and red and white stripes, your frisbee can look as cool as Cap's Vibranium shield. Once you've gathered a bunch of frisbees, you can set up a section of your yard for the biggest battle yet!
Marvel Party Idea: Themed Foods
Legend of The Onion Rings
Hiding in plain sight, onion rings are super cool snacks for any special event. Usually paired with crispy fries, burgers, and even pizza, these tasty appetizers can be used any time of day. While they're easy to make, they're also easy to serve in bowls, on plates, or in a cute paper bag.
Battered in cornstarch, onion rings can be dipped in any sauce, from spicy hot ketchup to white barbeque sauce.
Chocolate Brains
Not a fan of serving brains at your Marvel party? Don't worry because, at this event, you can serve a combination of Venom's favorite meals in a fun and safe way. Find a talented baker in your local area who can mold brains out of delicious white, dark, or milk chocolate.
These brains can also range from big to small to suit your sweet treats table. If you desire a more filling meal, your brains can also be made out of chocolate cake pops.
Tony's Donuts
In the legendary movie Iron Man 2, Tony Stark finds himself in a pickle—more specifically, a donut—and enjoys a cup of coffee with Nick Fury. Today, you can recreate the famous scene with a dozen delicious donuts.
From chocolate sprinkles to sweet glazed, you can explore a ton of flavors for your heroic event. If you're not happy with just one, you can serve an assortment of these tasty treats for everyone to enjoy!
Marvel Party Idea: Themed Drinks
Hulk Slush
To honor the Hulk's famous line "Hulk smash!" you can serve a variety of slushies that look just like him! Whether you hire a large machine or create these chilled beverages from the ice in your freezer, green slushies are a classic way to pay tribute to one of the strongest Avengers.
With metal or bendy straws, you and your kids can have fun, entertain, and sip away. If you desire an assistant on the day, you can also find a mobile slush or bar service with a professional attendee to help.
Marvel Milkshakes
From strawberry to banana, your Marvel milkshakes can be a treat worth fighting for. These chilled, milky beverages can be a blast from the past with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry on top.
Served in tall sundae glasses or large cups with a giant edible star, these shakes can look and taste good. If you’re worried about the milk content, you can also swap whole milk for skim, almond, soy, coconut, and even lactose-free.
Scarlet-Red Soda
Scary, fiery, and sweet, a scarlet-red soda can be an easy way to stick to your magical Marvel party theme. Between their incredible glow to their juicy berry flavor, these drinks can be a fun fan favorite. If you or your kids are not a fan of bubbly beverages, you can turn this soda into a juicy red grape or cranberry juice with natural or artificial sugars.
Marvel Party Idea: Where to Host
At Home
There's no place like home and that’s why your home can be the picture-perfect place to throw a Marvel party. Since it's your house, you can make the rules, play loud music, and have your kid invite as many guests as they’d like.
Another perk to having a party at home is the full access to your backyard. Your backyard is not only spacious and cozy but it can be easily decorated to suit your smashing theme. Whether your outdoor space is beautifully pathed or full of freshly-cut grass, the area can be a great spot to set up party games, large castles, and more.
A Farm
Between adorable animals and wide-open spaces, a farm is a fun, family-friendly venue for parties of all ages. With large, natural landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere, you can create the event you've been searching faraway galaxies for.
Farms also provide rustic indoor and outdoor spaces, so you'll never have to worry about the weather. Other countryside locations can include tall trees, hills, and other incredible features that can remind your little ones of Wakanda.
An Event Hall
Whether your kids are hiding from the Agents of SHIELD or just lousy weather, you can always organize your kid's special day in the privacy of an event hall. Extensive, versatile, and affordable, your city's community center can be turned into the famous Avengers Tower!
With this Marvel party idea, proper lighting, projectors, and heroic companions, this space can transport you and your kids directly into the MCU!
