BATMAN PARTY IDEAS FOR INVITATIONS

BATMAN CAPE INVITATIONS - Create a Batman/Robin-shaped cape template. Cut out several capes from black and yellow cardstock. Write the child's first or last initial in large bold print in the center of the cape. On the front write, Calling All Cape Crusaders! Then write the party details on the back. Either mail or hand-deliver them to your guests.

BATMAN COMIC INVITATIONS - Dismantle several Batman comic books, and remove the pages. Whiteout the speech bubble words. Then make color copies of these pages. Write your party details into the speech bubbles and then mail your invites to your guests.

BAT SYMBOL INVIATIONS - Cut a bat symbol from black cardstock and write the party details on the back using a silver gel pen. Place it into a coordinating envelope and mail or hand-deliver your invites to your guests.

BATMAN PARTY IDEAS FOR VARIOUS BATMAN INVIATIONS - Download pictures of the Batmobile, Bat Signal that was projected into the sky, or photos of Batman and Robin and glue to a piece of cardstock. Write the party details on the back. Place into a coordinating envelope and mail or hand-deliver your invites to your guests.

BATMAN BIRTHDAY PARTY PHOTO INVITATIONS - Cut 8 1/2" x 11" black cardstock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors trim the edges of a photo of your child in a Batman costume, so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue the photo to the front of the invitation. Put "Help Me Save Gotham City" above the photo. On the inside, write the party details.

Batman party ideas for suggested wording on the invites:

Holy Hot Cakes and Ice Cream, Batman (Child's name) is turning (age) and the Penguin has stolen his Batman birthday cake! Come dressed in your favorite Batman character costume and help him battle the evil forces of the Penguin!

Decorate the corners with Batman theme stickers.

As an alternative, turn your guests into Batman as they arrive. Here's some Batman party ideas to get you started. Either make this be an activity at the party or just provide them with black capes with a black and yellow Batman emblem affixed to the capes. If you opt to turn your guests into Batman, be sure to provide black Batman masks.

• Decorate ceilings with black and yellow twisted streamers and clusters of black and yellow balloons with black and yellow curling ribbons.

• Decorate archways or doorways with black and yellow streamers for your Cape Crusaders to pass through.

• Decorate wider walkways with black sheets tied back with yellow fabric sashes.

• Cover tables with yellow tablecloths and black toppers or vice versa. Tie corners with black and yellow ribbons and scatter black or yellow confetti on top.

• Cover the walls with black fabric.

• Hang plastic or rubber black bats from the ceiling and off the walls. Also, add some cobwebs throughout using angel hair or use spider webs.

• Use Batman birthday party plates, cups, napkins, centerpiece, or use solid black and/or yellow place settings.

• Create a fun centerpiece using your child's Batman toys. Add helium balloons, along with black and yellow tissue paper and shred to fill out the centerpiece.

• Hang Batman birthday party posters on walls.

• Hang a personalized birthday banner with the Dark Knight theme on a wall.

• Make Batman sound effect words out of cardstock and hang on walls. Have them say things like, "BAM", "POW", "ZOWIE", KABAM", etc.

• Put Batman mylar balloons on birthday child's chair and black and yellow helium balloons on other chairs.

• Hang black bat emblems made out of cardstock from the ceiling using fishing line or black and yellow curling ribbons.

• Make black bat-shaped placemats out of black construction paper and laminate.

• Enlarge Batman comic strips at your local copy center. Attach them to your walls or make a tablecloth out of them.

• Add Batman birthday party banner on wall.

• Cover the front door with black butcher paper and made letters out of yellow construction paper that say, "Welcome to Gotham City".

• Draw large yellow question marks along your walkway.

Here's some Batman party ideas to help you turn your party room into Gotham City and invite your guests into the Bat Cave. If at all possible, hold your party at night in a pitch-black room. If it must be done during the day, then cover your windows with black butcher paper to keep all hints of light out of the room.

• Create the Bat Signal using a spotlight with a bat-shaped cutout taped on the lens. Shine it on the wall to look like the Bat Signal is in the sky.

• Here's some Batman party ideas for creating a big city skyline using large pieces of cardboard and paint all of your "buildings" black. Hang your sky line on a large wall. Tape white Christmas lights while following the buildings of your skyline to light up your buildings and accentuate their shape.

• Paint large cardboard boxes to look like computer screens and electronic gadgets for your Bat Cave. Remember, if you opt to use black lights you must use black light paints so the "electronic" knobs, screens, etc. show up.

• Cover the walls with black sheets or black butcher paper.

• Replace all of the light bulbs in the party room with black lights, the more, the better.
• Upon arrival, escort guests into the Bat Cave, which is only lit up by black lights and radiates with glow in the dark paint and fiber-optic items.

• For a really fun addition, add a fog machine. This will enhance the eerie glow of the room and add to the thrill of it all.

• Cover your tables with tablecloths that have glow in the dark designs.

• As an alternative, make your own glow in the dark tablecloths by painting white or black tablecloths with designs using fluorescent paint.

• Another tablecloth option would be to cover the table with a black cloth and sprinkle it with white confetti.

• Hang uncolored black velvet Batman coloring posters on the walls. The white will "pop" under the black lights.

• Hang glow in the dark stars and moons from your ceiling on fishing line.

• Decorate with white balloons that have glow sticks inserted into them.

• To darken any surfaces like light colored furniture, cover with black fabric, sheets, or butcher paper.

• Hang black light "Christmas" type lights around your Bat Cave to accent various portions of the room.

• Create yard stakes of Bat symbols using wood posts with large Bat Symbols stapled to the top. Line your walkway with these posts.

• Cover the door with butcher paper and paint "Gotham City" on it.

POISON IVY PUNCH - The day before the party make an ice ring and freeze a strand of ivy in the ring. On the day of the party, prepare green Kool-Aid according to package directions and place in punch bowl. Add 2 liters of ginger ale. Right before serving, add the ivy ice ring.

TRANSFORMER DRINKS - Make a tray of ice cubes with various colored food coloring added. At party time, give the kids some Sprite, add a colored ice cube or two to each cup, and watch the drinks transform.

POWER DRINKS - Serve Gatorade and add pop rocks as you serve them. This will cause the drink to spit, pop, and crackle.
