Feats of strength, superhuman powers, outrageous costumes...our superheroes (and beloved supervillains) have it good. Which is why it was so much fun to pull together this list of amazing superhero party themes for girls we know our girls will love.
Of course, we know our boys will love these party ideas too, just as our girls love Batman, Spidey, and Captain America. But, here, we're giving some extra super-props to some super-fierce females who are capturing the hearts of our girls right now.
We searched the web to find the most wow ideas out there. From Wonderwoman and Batgirl to Harley Quinn and ooooh the new Iron Man (or, should we say woman?), here are 20+ ways to pack some punch with your daughter's next birthday party.

Superhero Party Themes for Girls: Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is obviously the most popular of all superhero party themes for girls so we found a few fabulous ideas including a cool comic-style photo booth and a new twist on those gold cuffs. Also, be sure to check our post on best superhero party ideas on a budget because so many awesome ideas! But first, this cake because WHAM! This Wonder Woman cake by Jessica Harris Cake Design is total perfection. While I am not suggesting us mere mortals attempt this cake (because, whoa!), I like it as inspiration. Maybe frost a two-tiered cake red and blue, or add white edible stars to blue frosting. You can always finish it off with something like this awesome Wonder Woman cake topper set we found over at Etsy. If cake baking isn't one of your superpowers, don't worry. Anders Ruff has a slew of creative Wonder Woman party printables you can buy, and these golden headband wrappers make every cupcake extra special. You have to check out this amazing Wonder Woman event by Bella C Parties (also at the top of this post) that went full pop art with Wonder Woman photo booth printables. Click over to see all her fabulous ideas. I especially adore this cartoon frame, which you could possibly DIY with large white poster board -- and don't forget the strategically placed comic book speech bubbles! (h/t Kara's Party Ideas) Million Dollar Smile Celebrations takes a different approach to celebrating one of our most beloved superheroes: a Wonder Woman spa party, because, even Wonder Woman and her pals need some pampering, right? What a cool idea for tweens and older girls. Love the vintage comic books on pedi chairs and those awesome gold wristlet souvenirs -- so clever!

Batgirl has made a comeback this year thanks to the LEGO Batman Movie, and we love this superhero party theme idea for girls. In fact, be sure to check our LEGO Batman Movie party ideas post where there's tons of cool ideas that's just perfect if you're focusing on on one of our favorite female crimefighters. Because let's be honest, a lot of superhero party ideas are really about the masks, make them a DIY party activity, use them as place cards, or let kids decorate their own and they can double as party favors. If you're handy with a needle and thread, Willow and Stitch has a free DIY superhero mask pattern you can use to make bat masks. Remember, Batgirl's colors are purple and black with gold accents. Or if you'd rather save some time, you can buy an assortment online (like these bat masks from No Limit Parties and Crafts). Then, set out some fabric stickers and glitter glue and BOOM -- crime-fighting costume complete. Tips from a Typical Mom Blog's super fun Batgirl birthday party went the way of retro comic books -- with plenty of crash-bang Batgirl printables for cupcakes toppers, cups and straws. You can easily deck out the whole party this way -- from the table decor to the favor bags. But we might go purple with the cupcake frosting. But the real showstopper from Tips from a Typical Mom Blog was the unique, interactive party games like a handmade beanbag toss and a punch-out prize grabber -- possibly a bit time-intensive but totally worth it! Click over to check out all of the amazing ideas for an awesome superhero birthday party! Also check out this tutorial from A Casarella on how to DIY this game where everybody wins. And what Batgirl birthday party would be complete without a bat signal? For her daughter's Batgirl birthday party, Busy Miss B bought mini flashlights and hand-cut bat logos to make cute bat lights for take-home favors.Related: Superhero party ideas for super parents (who are on a super budget).
Superhero Party Themes for Girls: Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn is one of those supervillains that's so badass, it would be easy for HQ-themed parties to lean into PG-13 territory -- as anyone who's seen Suicide Squad might guess. Luckily, there are super-awesome ways to keep this superhero party theme for girls on the G-rated side. I found these cute custom Harley Quinn party invitations by Snips and Snail, which I think are just perfect for partygoers of any age. They start at about $13 for 12 invitations, but you can also download a digital file for about the same cost and print as many as you need at home. Check out this Joker and Harley Quinn "Mad Love" party by Capes & Crowns -- it's over-the-top awesomeness and rich with details like creative cake pops, jester-y souvenir bags, and these prescription pad signs, which would be fun for kids to doodle on while they wait for cake to be served. Loving these Harley Quinn cheese-and-pretzel hammers that I found on Finspi. They look nutritious, delicious, and -- most importantly for busy parents -- way easy to assemble. But for other treat ideas, think about red and black: two-tone cupcake frosting; bowls of single-colored M&Ms; red and black licorice whips -- so many fun options. I might even sneak in some red pepper strips with dip. HQ has a certain glamorous circus-sideshow kind of style to her, which partygoers can emulate with this superhero mask by Monichelle Designs that we included in our roundup of cool superhero gift ideas for girls. Itt comes in lots of different colors and other styles too. Get one for every boy and girl at the party, and they even double as take-home favors for imaginative play long after the party is over.Superhero Party Themes for Girls: Black Widow
Some of our girls like the dark side and are more inclined to want a theme like a Black Widow birthday party where they can play their favorite arachnoid super villainess. So we searched around and found a few party ideas that are dark but still fun. There aren't a billion Black Widow-specific parties out there from which to draw inspiration, so you have to get a little creative while snooping around the web. One trick I found: skimming ideas from Avengers parties is especially effective. Rock Your Walls starts with some sleek Black Widow paper airplane invites, which are so cool and fun to play with too. But also think about black, black, and black. For craft that means making your own spiders out of black pipe cleaners, or having fun with origami paper. Set out black tablecloths or use black crepe paper banners and buntings. And of course, there's the food. The Chic Site decks out a pizza pie with black olives and tomatoes for the Black Widow's logo -- smart! Well, at least if you have kids who dig black olives. But the whole DIY personal pizza party activity and lunch idea is terrific and kids will love making their own if you follow her directions. For kids who aren't big on either black olives or tomatoes (like mine, for instance), I would use pepperoni to shape out the hourglass symbol. For dessert, I found these awesome Black Widow superhero party cupcakes at The Horrible Housewife: She iced Black Widow logos on chocolate sandwich cookies, and affixed them to the tops of red velvet cupcakes. Check out her semi-homemade shortcuts and you can totally pull this off without any super powers.Related: The easiest DIY superhero cape project, no pattern required
