Invitations

Try one of these creative invitation ideas when a store-bought invitation just won't do!

• Cut a round spider body out of construction paper. Glue on smaller strips for legs (or use chenille stems if you don't have to mail them) and attach a string at the top for hanging. On the back of the body, attach a message that reads "Just dropping in to invite you to (name)'s Spiderman birthday party!" and include party details.
• Start with black cardstock. Use chalk to draw a web, or draw a web on with glue. (You can buy glitter glue which is great for this project!) Inside, write "We want you in our web! (Name) is turning (age) and we're celebrating with a Spiderman birthday party!" Add date, time, and location of the party.
• Take a picture of the birthday boy in a boys spider-man reversible costume. Two costumes in one, your child will be able to choose between the traditional red and blue Spiderman and the black and silver version for truly personalized invitations. Attach the picture to the front of folded cardstock with the caption "Coming attractions: (Name) as Spiderman the (age, ie 8th)." Inside, write "You can't miss this premier event! Join us for the release of Spiderman the (age), starring (name). The show starts at (time) sharp, so be on location at (address) on (date). Don't miss it!"

Spiderman Birthday Party Costumes

Ask each guest to bring a plain t-shirt in red, blue, or black. Have puffy fabric paint on hand so they can draw a big web on their shirts. Use white puffy paint on black shirts and either white or black to design the spider web on other colors. Allow shirts to dry during the party and send them home with guests when the party is over.

Puff paint dries fairly quickly, so caution your web masters not to apply it too heavily and there's a good chance they can all wear their shirts for a photo before they go home. (Note: It's a good idea to have a few extras on hand so a forgetful guest is neither left out nor disappointed!)

Decorations

Draw guests into your web as soon as they arrive. Starting at the end of the driveway, use sidewalk chalk to draw a big sticky web all the way to the front door. Don't forget to draw in spiders!

Another decoration you can use outside or inside is to make spiders from balloons. Use black balloons for the body and black streamers for legs. Hang these in trees along the walkway.

Inside, everyone will know that they are at a Spiderman birthday party when you cover the ceiling and walls with a streamer "web". Clumps of white balloons will look like spider eggs when they're strategically placed near the ceiling, while more black balloon spiders are sure to be delightfully creepy dangling from their sticky perches.

For a quick and fun way to cover things with webbing, spray silly string at the scene of the party. Quick, easy, and colorful, it's a surefire way to capture guests in your web! (Read the bottle carefully, as it may stain some surfaces).

If you have sturdy surfaces to attach it to, a web made of rope will double as a maze for party goers to climb through. Ideal for an outside party, a giant web to crawl and climb through will be the hit of your party! (Supervise children closely around ropes).

Print pictures of Spiderman, his friends, and his enemies to place around the room on the walls. Color them, or allow guests to color them in as an activity. If you have any posters, include them to add to the décor.

Hang a Spider Web personalized birthday banner so everyone will know who the superhero of the day is!

When it's time to set the table, you can count on the Spider-Man 3 party supplies to give you everything you need in one handy package. The set comes with table settings for eight guests, with additional supplies available for purchase.

A tablecloth, placemats, centerpiece, balloons, streamers, and more are also included!

Food

Being a superhero is hard work! When they get thirsty, try one of these ideas for a refreshing drink.

• Spiderman punch – Red fruit punch is surely Spiderman's beverage of choice!
• Blue crush – add blue berries to blue colored drink to add interest.
• Tip: Freeze plastic spiders in ice cubes for a creepy arachnid garnish to any cold drink!

When it's time to feed hungry spiders, one of these ideas is sure to please!

• Predator pizza – Always a party favorite!
• Spider bites – Slice cucumbers into rounds, then add lengths of string cheese as spider "legs". Top with two raisin "eyes".
• Creepy crackers – fill two crackers with squeeze cheese or any soft cheese of your choice. Top with two small pieces of cheese as eyes, and add shredded carrot "legs."
• Spider dogs – cut hotdogs two-thirds of the way up the length into eight sections. Splay these "legs" around the remaining spider body. Dab ketchup for eyes, and serve with a side of cheese or ketchup.

From the simple to the sublime, you're sure to find the ideal Spiderman birthday party cake right here!

• For an easy no mess, no fuss way to celebrate, bake cupcakes. Ice them plain or pipe in web graphics before topping each one with a Spider-Man Gummie.
• Frost a layered or sheet cake with red, blue, or white icing. Pipe in a web with black. Then simply position a Spider-Man 3 Cake Topper on top. A full 8" long, this action figure won't be lost on your cake!
• If there's an artist within, try this dramatic Spiderman cake! Start with a round layered cake, and coat it with red icing. Then, using a picture of Spiderman as your guide, draw in his eyes with a toothpick. Once you have the shape right, pipe them in with black icing. Fill in the white in the center of each eye.
• Finally, draw in the web as it looks on his face, matching detail as much as possible. The end result should be the face of Spiderman – hopefully it looks good enough to eat!

Party Favors

Before they crawl away from the spiderman birthday party, give your Spidey guests spider favor boxes. Easy to assemble kits include a paddle ball toy, disc launcher, mask, a sticker sheet, and a tumbling man with sticky hands and feet that they won't be able to put down!
