I can’t believe that my little man has turned 2 – and what a character he is! Full of life, a great sense of humour (which I think he knows gets him out of trouble when he’s done something ‘naughty’), loud like his eldest sister and a great love of singing, dancing and anything sweet!
When the time came to thinking about the theme for his party, I was tossing up between rock star and superhero. I decided it had to be superhero when I saw him being Mighty Guy one day!
I contacted Sarah from Style Me Gorgeous to design the invites and other printables for me. She very kindly squeezed me into her busy schedule. Her colour combo of the blue, orange and yellow with a hint of black was spot on and I adored the little superboy silhouette.
We decided to keep the party fairly small with mainly family and just one or two friends his age that he knew but because he has such a sweet tooth, I put together a little dessert table as a special treat. I gathered together my limited knowledge of superheroes and pulled out the sewing machine from my mum’s place to start putting together little superhero capes.
Here’s how the final table looked.
The kids decorated their superhero masks and had a wonderful time playing simple backyard games such as musical freeze (like a superhero, of course), egg and spoon races, running races and bubbles, an all-time favourite at our house. We then had cake and for nearly the rest of the afternoon, Ben was seen standing near the dessert table with something sweet in his hand. The day finished off with kids taking some photos at a mini photobooth I set up for them.
Happy birthday my SUPER little man!
