While thinking of different themes for Ethan's birthday, Super Mario seemed like it would be great! My boys LOVE Mario, so I started my quest for the Super Party! I wanted to post these ideas so they can hopefully help someone, and cut down on the hours and hours of web searching that I did. :)
First up...invitations...
For decorations I made piranah plants. An idea I saw on another blog. I cut out the mouth, and sprayed the outside red. I painted the white spots, and then attached styrofoam teeth with toothpicks. I wrapped wooden dowels with green ribbon, and stuck them in a hurricane with moss and rocks.
We let each guest choose either a Mario or Luigi hat. (I cut out white felt and glued them onto the caps) The girls got to choose a princess crown. We also had coin bags where they collected the coins that they earned during game time.
We did several games. The first one, I drew a Koopa, and the kids had to throw water balloons at it. If they hit the Koopa picture they got too coins, if they hit his belly, they got three, and they got one if they didn't hit it at all. We also did pass the Ka-bomb, a black balloon that is played like hot potato. (The balloon kept popping on the grass...so we eventually used a ball). We also played Pop the Goomba. These were brown balloons that had coins in them. They could pop as many as they could, and keep the coins. They had 1-3 coins in them. The last game we did "Break the Brick". I had wrapped a box, and made it look like one of the Mario bricks. The kids got to run under it and try to jump and smash it. Inside was more coins, candy, etc.
Food -
We served mini sliders, which were a hit. We also had Mario's Power Punch, Princess Peach's Peach Tea, and Luigi's Limeaid.

What a cute party!
Just a thought, but have you considered submitting it to some of the parenting websites/blogs? It might be really popular :)
