How to Throw a Superhero Party Worthy of ‘The Avengers’’
Invitations: Start your party off right
with the perfect invitation. You can make your own postcard invitations with
cardboard cut-outs of bright blue painted stars, and include the details about
your party in a thin black marker. Decorate the front of each with classic comic
book words like POW!, ZAP! And WAM!
Décor: The Avengers bring together
6 epic superheroes. Create your own easy decorations with cardboard cutouts of
spiders and paint them black, neon green head’s of The Hulk and classic American
flags for Captain America and, throughout the party, use bold colored streamers,
which will add some mystery to the room.
Centerpieces: Choose your favorite Avenger
and decorate the table around that character. Use lots of primary colors, since
comic strips are usually blue, yellow and red. Print outs of comic book pages
covered in contact paper make great placemats. Blanket your tables with these to
tie the décor together and include stars, spiders and Hawkeye cut-outs on wooden
sticks around the table with silver confetti.
Music: Keep the music simple but
fun. “Live to
Rise,” the original song written for and appearing in the film is the first
single from the Marvel Music/Hollywood Records release Avengers Assemble.
The epic and cinematic video, featuring a searing live performance with film
footage, was directed by Robert Hales (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janet Jackson,
Kings of Leon, Justin Timberlake). View “Live To Rise”:
Menu: Mini snacks such as cut-out
tea-sandwiches make great finger food. Look for cookie cutters in shields, stars
and spiders to create these treats. For Incredible Hulk themed beverages, create
trays of green ice cubes by freezing water with green food color, and WOW!
guests as their clear citrusy beverages transform color before their very eyes.
Party Favors: As a parting gift, place a few Avenger
designed cookies in a cellophane bag and close with a gold twist-tie – your
guests can enjoy the party for days to follow with these treats!”
RECIPE
1. Whip up a batch of your
favorite sugar cookie recipe
and use a cookie cutter to make character cookies. They make Superhero cookie
cutters in the shape of many Avengers heroes. You can also use any oval shaped
cookie cutter and instead fill in the details with your decorating. Once your
cookies are baked and cooled, you are ready to begin decorating.
2. You can make your own royal
icing (See: How to Make Your Own Royal Icing included below) or use
store-bought. Color with food coloring to achieve the various colors you want
for decorating. We recommend green (for the Hulk), yellow, blue, black, white,
and brown. Place each color in a piping bag.
3. Begin by outlining the cookie
in your base color. (If you were starting with The Hulk, outline the
entire shape in green. Color in your outline with green icing and cover the
entire cookie. (You can actually use a paintbrush to “paint” your cookie.)
Give the base a few minutes to dry and choose your next color. For The
Hulk’s hair, outline his hairline in black and proceed to fill in with black
icing. You can continue to draw features in and watch your character come to
life.
How to Make Your Own Royal Icing
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature. We prefer dehydrated egg whites, available at most supermarkets.
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- food coloring (optional)
Mix above ingredients with a
little warm water until smooth. Add food coloring.
