Picking the location can be one of the most difficult tasks for some people, because they want everything to be perfect. Just remember, you child is going to have a great time no matter where the party is as long as their friends are there…So pick something that is convenient for you. I have listed a few ideas to help you get started.
* Batcave: Want to turn part of your house into the Ultimate Batcave? This is not as difficult as it may sound. If you put a little bit of work into this project, I guarantee it will be the biggest hit of the party. For compete directions on how to make the Ultimate Batcave, check out the decorations section.
* Zoo: What would be a better location than the zoo? You may be saying to yourself, why the zoo? First, the party isn’t at your house…big bonus. Second, wouldn’t it be amazing for your child and guests to see a bat up close and personal? Finally, the party can be contained outside and there is plenty to see and do at the zoo. So if your up to it, I would suggest the zoo for your party location.
* Gotham City: Now you might be saying, like I am really going to take these wild children into an open city…Well, that is not quite where I was going with this idea. How about bring the city atmosphere to a park? You could hang up decorations and turn that park into a city environment. If you need help with ideas, check out our Batman coloring pages section, which includes, clip art, posters and coloring pages. There should be enough information to get you started.

I have compiled a few different ideas to help you get started. Enjoy…
* Batman Adventures: Not very creative, but still want the perfect invitation? Are you planning a Batman Adventures theme party? Perfect, here are the Ultimate Batman Adventures pre-made invitations just for you.

Picking out, setting up and fine tuning the decorations can be a long tedious process. But, with a little planning and creativity, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences of the party. I have compiled ideas that start with the outside and work their way inside. You can use all, some or none of the ideas, but they will definitely help you you’re your party location into the Ultimate Party Location.
Before we jump right into decorating the batcave and such, let’s get the decorations for the outside setup. Whether party guests are careening through the streets in the Batmobile or soaring high above the city, a bouquet of helium filled balloons attached to a light post or mailbox will let them know where the ultimate adventure of Batman will begin.
Need a way to ensure the bad guys don’t get into the party? Check out this weather resistant Lighted Bat Screen for your front yard. It’s guaranteed to keep the evil people out!!!
Now that we have setup the outside of the house to identify the party location and keep out the bad guys, lets start moving inside. I have compiled an excellent selection of Batman posters, clip art and coloring pages to help you decorate the inside. Just make sure to check this out before continuing on.
Now the fun begins!!! Let’s start putting decorations all over the party location. First, we are going to need some nocturnal creatures. Here is an awesome selection of Bat decorations for the tables, hallways and any area the party will be.
Here are simple and inexpensive ways to splash lots of color around the party site. Create a fun and colorful effect by draping black and purple metallic streamers from the center of the ceiling to the walls on each side of the room. Either tie some balloons to the backs of each chair or tie balloons with varying lengths of curling ribbon and hang them from the ceiling.
Do you want to create an exciting location to represent Gotham City? This idea is not expensive, but will require some time and energy on your part. Start by picking out a room that doesn’t have a lot of furniture in it and can be transformed pretty easily. First, put black lights in the room and cloud it with a light fog (fog machine). If you have any equipment, props, etc that will glow under the black lights, that will work perfect. It really adds to the effect of being in a real Bat Cave! Using a small garage spotlight with a bat taped over the lens, shine it on the wall to make it look like the bat signal is being shown in the sky. Next, cut from large sheets of cardboard the city sky line and paint it black, then outline it with Christmas lights. With a little more personal touch you will have designed the Ultimate Gotham City, which will be the highlight of the party!

Picking out the perfect food, refreshments, treats and cake should be a fun experience. Think of clever names for each item that relates back to the Batman theme. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Batman Theme Party Food
* Bats in a Blanket: To make: purchase your favorite hot dogs, cheese and refrigerated croissants. Cut the hot dogs in half and slice the cheese into thin slices. Unroll the croissants and stuff them with the hot dogs and cheese. Roll them back up and bake them as directed or until golden brown.
* Variety: “Penguin Poppers” (Pizza Rolls), “Penguin Pizza”, “Catwoman Claws” (Bugles for claw-like fingertips), “Harlequin Hamburgers”. Place Black Masks around the edges of the serving bowls.
* Acknowledge the danger that lurks within Batman’s world by serving dry snacks in an upside down Top Hat.
* Fruit Kabobs: Cut your child’s favorite fruits into chunks and place on trays. Pass out wooden skewers, with the sharp tips broken off, and let the children create their own fruit kabobs. Try to have extra parents and older children to help the younger children at the party.
* Penguin Party Chip and Dip: Turn a plastic top hat upside down and put the chips in it and place white gloves by the dip.
Batman Theme Refreshments
* Poison Ivy Punch: Before the party, purchase ivy from a craft store and cut it into pieces. Then, make some lime Kool-Aid and pour it into ice cube trays. Add a piece of ivy to each ice cube compartment and freeze. On the party day, add green food coloring to your child’s favority beverage (white grape juice, apple juice and lemon lime soda work best.) When it’s time to serve the punch, add a few poisoned cubes to each child’s glass..
* You can serve the drinks that children love, such as, Capri Suns, Koolaid Koolers, Koolaid Jammers, boxed juice, etc.
Batman Theme Party Treats
* Bat Cookies: Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe or purchase pre-made, refrigerated cookie dough. Roll out the dough and use a bat-shaped cookie cutter (or make your own template) to form bat shapes. Cook as directed and cool. When cooled, frost with dark-colored frosting and let the kids decorate the cookies with sprinkles or candy. Red cinnamon pieces make great bat eyes!
* Joker’s Jello-O Jigglers: Purchase your child’s favorite flavors of gelatin and follow the directions to make jigglers. Purchase a bat-shaped cookie cutter and any other theme-related shapes you can find. After the gelatin has set, cut it into shapes to make this popular treat even more fun.
* Chips and salsa
* Make each guest a fruit parfait using yogurt, granola and fresh fruit. Top it off with a whipped topping.
Batman Theme Party Cake
Deciding on whether you are going to make or buy the Ultimate cake is a tough decision. It mainly depends on how much time you have and how many guests are coming. I would suggest for a smaller party, you try and make that Ultimate cake. But if there is going to be a large number of guests, maybe a large cake made by the baker is the best decision. It’s up to you, but here is an idea on making an Ultimate Batman cake.

Now the parties over, what do you do? Plan the next one? Sure, but you don’t want to forget about the guests that helped you celebrate your child’s birthday. Make sure to send them some type of thank you note. Whether it is store bought or hand made, just make to get it out no later than a week past the party. Also, if you took any pictures at the party, try to include one in each invitation. Here is a great thank you note to send out. I feel this invitation is the Ultimate Note to end the Ultimate Batman Kid Party Idea.
