A Superhero Party That Packs a Powerful Punch

When your mom plans parties for a living, you know that your own birthday is going to be an occasion for some serious fanfare. Four-year-old Enzo, the son of event planner Keren Precel, recently rang in his special day with a comic book bash that we can't get enough of. "Enzo's most recent celebration was in the midst of his 'superhero phase,' so mommy Keren called upon Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Captain Marvel — who ensured him and his friends a dreamy superhero bash!" she told us. Check out all of the thoughtful details and clever touches that made Enzo's party such a success, and borrow them for your own little Superman or Wonder Woman.

Once in their gear, "all the boys and girls participated in 'How to Be a Real-Life Superhero' training: sliding, crawling, flying, jumping, singing, and fighting evil (in the form of a stuffed monster)," Keren told us.

"Tired and hungry, all kids (and adults) enjoyed an all-American buffet featuring wrapped superhero sliders with a side of fries served in a decorated cone, mac and cheese served in personal branded cups, mini Greek salads, and other yummy veggies," Keren said. The burgers were from Dishful Catering, and the rest of the food was made by Alex Nirenberg.
