Looking for some Avengers Party ideas? This movie marathon is sure to entertain with everything from amazing party snacks, games, and favors to bring out the superhero in you.
My son’s birthday was last month, and I couldn’t get it together to host the party that I wanted to give him. I made it up to him, though. We are all Marvel fans around here and with the release of MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron, a movie marathon party was perfect.
I really got into planning this party. I included food that I thought was appropriate for each character.
Avengers Party and Movie Snacks Menu
- Thor’s Hammerin’ Ham Rolls
- Veggie Tray (Hawkeye Arrows)
- Chocolate Dipped Cookies (Black Widow Bites)
- Chips and Dip (Iron Man)
- Fruit Tray with Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas, and Marshmallows (Arranged like Captain America’s Shield)
- Movie Treat Box with Avengers-themed food items
- Chocolate Cupcakes Featuring the whole Avengers team
- Hulk’s Radioactive Punch and Avengers Themed Dr. Pepper Cans
The whole gang made it too! Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Natasha Romanoff, The Hulk, and my personal favorite, Captain America!
I am a big fan of cupcake toppers. Especially with easily recognizable characters, the kids love them too. It’s like their cupcake just got cooler with their favorite character on them. And they show all their friends – “Hey, I got Iron Man!”
The cupcake toppers and the stand-up superheroes are just pictures I printed directly from the internet and cut out. I printed the superheroes at 8×10 on white cardstock. They have popsicle sticks cracked in half and glued to the legs in order to stand up.
Since this particular party was from Avengers: Ultron, the big bad made an appearance. But I kept him in line. That disapproving momma stare is like its own superpower.
Everyone got their very own movie snack box with Avengers-themed goodies.

As a party favor, the kids got to make their very own superhero capes! I cut the capes out of felt and attached Velcro to the collar area. I bought foam shapes and letters, glitter glue, and markers. I then told the kids that they are being picked to be the next Avenger, but they need a costume. The kids had a blast with this project!
Stars were quite popular as you can tell! Although we did take this picture, the glitter glue takes a few hours to dry (more for globby areas).
Everyone got into the spirit with some of the fun toys like Thor’s Hammer and Captain America’s Shield. I love that it’s such an easy party to do!

Hi, Did you make the cityscape backdrop? Am wanting one for my sons birthday
Rachel says
Yes, I made it. It’s just regular ol’ black poster board. I used a straight edge to draw an outline then just cut it with scissors. I stuck the sheets to the wall with double sided tape. Good luck with your sons’s birthday!
Melanie says
what an awesome party! I love all the details, especially the capes. Thanks for sharing at Motivational Monday!
Aspen Jay says
LOVE the city building silhouette! What a clever idea! I bet all the kids loved making capes. What a fun party Rachel!
Rachel says
The cape making was mayhem and I loved it! lol. They were so proud of their creations (even the upside down name). My son has been wearing his in the yard anytime the wind is blowing. It’s so cute!
Summer Len Davis says
My eldest and I had a movie marathon to celebrate the release of Age of Ultron. We cannot wait to go see it on Friday! I didn’t think I would like any of those crazy super hero movies but I ended up LOVING them! Captain America is my favorite too. So handsome #client
Margo says
What a fun party for your kids, my children would be so jealous!!!
Crystal says
So cute! I needed this in December. Well, I will definitely be putting some of these ideas to use later on because it seems my little boy has not outgrown the Avengers yet, and Lord willing we will be doing another Avenger themed party again this year.
Rachel says
At least you will get to reuse some of those decorations. That is kind of nice. I just tossed our Toy Story decorations from a birthday party 5 years ago, and they never were reused. Little boys change their minds so quickly!
Julie says
My 16 year old went to see it last night and has put it in his top 4 films of all time! He now wants to rewatch all the previous Marvel films over the weekend. He’s also worried that DC will rush their justice league films and they won’t be as good – only time will tell! (Can I just add, I do try to pay attention to what he says and I have really enjoyed this newer crop of superhero films but I only understand what my lad is saying about half of the time. Apparently whether something is Marvel or DC is very important ???!)
Rachel says
Lol. To be honest, I really thought I was a Bat sorta girl. All we had growing up were the Batman and Superman franchises. And the X-men cartoons. My husband is really up on each of the characters and he says that until recently the characters in either DC or Marvel were completely separate. You could see crossover characters but Marvel characters only played with Marvel characters, etc. Probably more than you wanted to know but I was curious so I asked! My husband will be out of town this weekend but maybe we can do a weeknight movie next week!

I love your party table. The backdrop is awesome!
Ashley ~ 3 Little Greenwoods says
I love your backdrop and the cupcake toppers are TOO cute! Pinning to my party board!
Rachel says
Thanks, Ashley! My son loves the cutouts – he set them up all around his art table and he shows off his drawings to them, haha!
