Ultraman Invitations In-process
With Bobi’s birthday coming up next week, I spent a bunch of hours this evening putting together birthday party invitations. Bobi wants an Ultraman party. Fine with us, although none of his friends are going to have any idea what Ultraman is, and it isn’t like we can have the kids watch the show at the party – they wouldn’t understand why it is in Japanese, etc. But Ultraman it is, anyway. The kids are going to decorate Ultraman-shaped gingerbread cookies, and will play “pin the tail on the kaiju.”
To make the invitations, I printed the Ultraman drawing from my post about stationary, two to a sheet, and printed all of the party information inside. I thought it would be a good idea to color each of the invitations by hand, using colored pencils. Not a good idea. I should have just colored them in PhotoShop and printed them that way. I spent almost 5 hours all together. However, they turned out so nice, that I thought I might make sets of greeting cards or something out of the stationary pages to post here.
My son wants an ultraman party also. My brother lives in Tokyo and has given him so many toys. Our movies are in English (although the subtitles have an occasional swear word). Hope it was a fun party!
Dude you rock. The invites look awesome. As a mother of a three year old obsessed with Ultraman we are going to be throwing an Ultraman party in September for his 4th b-day. It’s not easy to find a lot of affordable Ultraman stuff/party supplies.
What did you use for decorations?
Thanks, Nicki. Because his birthday is in December, we have always made gingerbread cookies instead of birthday cake. So for “decorations” we had the kids decorate their own Ultraman gingerbread cookies (with silver and red frosting with blue candies for the color timer). They made their own paper Ultraman masks, and watched Mebius on DVD. We talked about playing pin the tail on the kaiju or some other Ultraman themed game, but nothing ever came of it.
