Planning a Superhero Birthday Party on a Budget

"There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I still have 4 months to go before my Twin's Birthday. So my partner and I decided that it will just be a small celebration with family, close neighbors and twin's cousins (we are celebrating their monthsary anyway). The plan is that we will have it before their birthdays and then the exact birth date is mall day. Here are my list on what are the things that I want to do.

I want to have a superhero theme so I get some ideas here and here.

Points to remember:

Budget should not exceed
25 kids invited (I think it's still a lot!)
Time will be after lunch, so will just need to prepare snacks
No games but will give simple party favors

Decorations

Something like this, then I will add a cape for each number.

We can also use this as a photo background.

Invitations

I made this one via Photoshop, got the design from Pinterest. I tweaked it up a bit. But it's just a small party, so I think I will just give a simple invitation. Too bad.

I will make these using felt papers.

DIY Photobooth

I've made this sample of a DIY Photobooth where kids can take a picture. It's like having a big picture frame. I need a big illustration board or maybe box to make this in real life. Huh!
