Decorations

On the front door of your home, create a huge spider web. Use a red tablecloth as a backdrop on the door, make a large spider web using twine and cut out a large spider to attach to the web from black poster board.

Alternatively, place a picture of Spider-Man, so that he clings to your front door (or try tying a balloon to your front door with a picture of Spider-Man on top of the balloon so it looks like Spider-Man is climbing your door).

Use balloons to mark your house by hanging them around the front of your home.

Cover the table with a Spider-Man themed table cover and ensure each place setting has a Spider-Man plate, napkin, cup and utensils. Alternatively, tableware in the solid colors of red and blue would also be appropriate.

Place your child's Spider-Man toys or a Spider-Man display on the party table as a centerpiece.

Place disposable cameras on the party table and/or around the party room for kids to take pictures like Peter Parker.

Mark the birthday child's spot with a special Spider-Man stadium cup.

Hang spider webs around the party area. You can make your own with cotton.

To add to the décor, place some newspapers in the party area that you have relabeled The Daily Bugle.

Cut several pieces of curling ribbon one to two feet long. Curl the ribbon by pulling it between your thumb and the blade of scissors. Spread the curls on your table.

Scatter the curls on your table. Ribbon comes in many colors, so you may want to pick your child's favorite color or the predominant colors from the Spider-Man partyware you have chosen.

Hang Spider-Man Mylar® balloons around the party area.

Hang balloons in bunches for best effect by tying a colorful ribbon around the strings of several balloons, so they hang together.

Place two streamers, each a different color, back to back. Then twist. The result is a multicolor streamer. Try red and black for Spider-Man.
