Holy superheroes Batman, it’s Wonder Woman! My husband had a crush on Wonder Woman when he was young. Maybe it was her awesome costume or her invisible jet. I don’t know. But I knew that for his birthday I had to throw him a Wonder Woman party. This party is super simple, but I hope you can still get some inspiration from it.
The invitations are old school Wonder Woman cards that I bought online. The stamps are from the Super Heroes stamp collection (U.S. Postal). And I found the retro metal sign at a local antique shop. Don’t turn that dial, there will be more excitement from this party tomorrow. Same bat time, same bat channel.
Day #1: invitations. Making gingerbread houses can be a new tradition at your house starting this year. Throw a little decorating party with our easy invites and ideas.
Invitation How-To: Download both sides of this invitation. Using cardstock, print one side of the invite then turn the paper over, put it back into the printer and print the other side. Using the front of the invitation as your guide, cut invitations out along the roof line. You can mail these cute houses as they are in a 5″ x 7″ envelope. Or if you are hand delivering, you can embellish and decorate them with real candy. We used: a round peppermint candy on the roof, mini red M&M’s on the windows and door handle, blue snowflake sprinkles for flowers (from Walmart) on the railing, two mini candy canes for the door (one full candy cane glued to a broken piece with the seam covered by a mini M&M), and some mini white marshmallows in the bottom of the bag for snow. These envelopes can be bought at clearenvelope.com.
Here is another mini party, a bat party. This theme can be used for a child whose birthday is in October, or for a child who loves bats (like mine–no seriously, she loves bats), or for a Halloween party. Go batty with this theme.
If you’re taking a picture of your child’s head for this invite, try to use only 1/3 of the frame so that the picture isn’t too large. Another tip is to take the picture in front of a white wall so that it’s easier to cut out the head. If you are using Photoshop, size the head to 2-2 1/2 inches.

Tiger Party ideas. I’m posting a cute mini-party tomorrow: a Tiger Party. This party was for a 2 year old, but we’re including invitation and cupcake topper downloads in both a 1 year old and 2 year old versions and invitations for 3 year olds. 1 & 2 year old invites. 3 year old invite.
This party incorporates the colors in the color wheel. We used all colors across the spectrum with a huge dose of white to keep everything bright and crisp.
