The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
The clever gals at One Charming Party sent me a peek of their Superhero Party. I thought it was so cute I wanted to share it with you.
Oscar is obsessed with superheros right now. If I show him these pictures, I’m quite sure he will ask, “Mom? Is it almost my birthday?” every single day until January 9th.

We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.

Love this! I am throwing a super hero themed baby shower for my sister next month, so this is just the inspiration I needed!
I’m thinking super hero + baby shower = rad.
This will be going directly into my collection of ideas for my son’s birthdays. I’m pretty much already planning them and he’s only 3 months old! :)
I spotted this on their site and just loved the superhero banner made from comic book pages. Genius! I’m an event planner and always love to see clever party decorations.
I wondered if Nicole was the photographer on these! I love her work!
Nicole is so talented!
We (myself included) are obsessed with superhero’s in this house!
Thinking a 1/2 birthday party is gonna need to be on the agenda this summer!
I’ve actually used this site for a number of my parties. These girls are pure genius. Can’t wait to host a super hero party.
LOVE!
We were thinking of just doing family parties for our kids this year, but this may have changed my mind. LOVE the pennants and the bowls of superhero food!!! The funny thing is that it is my daughter who would love this party. She is our comic book girl.
This totally works for girls and boys. Superheros are universally loved, right?
Thanks again for such an inspirational bday party theme. In a week from now, I am having a party at an educational farm with donkey and poney rides and visits around the farm. I had been searching different themes for his birthday, next year, I have it!
Did I tell you you’re the best??

This looks a lot like the birthday bash I threw for the boy this past year! Everyone came in superhero costume and it was “official super hero training camp”. Including a big bad guy (T.H.E. Bad Guy – my hubs), bomb diffusing (popping balloons), leaping tall buildings (paper covered diaper boxes), kryptonite handling (neon green spray painted rocks), and web slinging (silly string). The kids had SO much fun they still talk about it. The parents enjoyed the food humor (Wonder Nuggets, Underdogs, Super Hero Sandwiches, Veggies of Virtue, Sticks of Strength (pretzel sticks), & Power Punch). And I just now realized…I never blogged it. Huh.
I love the smashing buildings and popping balloons game ideas — so cute! Oh, and that blue cake stand makes me drool :)
I did a superhero training academy birthday party for my daughter’s 5th birthday and it was so much fun!! I did some things similar to this, but targeted toward her specific tastes (she doesn’t even know who the licensed character superheroes are, she just called herself Super E and we did everything in purple and pink, her favorite colors at the time). My favorite part was the personalized initial capes I made for all of the guests and their self-designed masks, but the kids’ favorite part by far was “capturing” the “Red-Caped Cake Thief” (aka my father-in-law) and tying him up with toilet paper.
SUCH a fun party theme and love all of her little touches!!
Yay for Super E!
one charming party is one of my favorite blogs. i love everything they do.
Super cute!
I’ve been collecting ideas for the Wonder Woman/Superhero party we’re throwing for my daughter’s 5th Birthday. This party definitely goes on the list. Thanks! And, yes-fly on over in the invisible jet ;)
Check out http://www.powercapes.com – they have awesome capes and you can personalize them!!
SUPER timely! I’m in the middle of planning a SuperHero party for the end of the month… Loved the Comic garland. I’ve added it to my to do list. (As if it wasn’t long enough already) Thank-you ; )
That comic garland is a stroke of genius.
Adorable! I love themed parties that aren’t based on “licensed characters” so much.
I KNOW I love Super Hero Parties!
I had one of my own back at the beginning of 2011… SO FUN!
