A Super Mario birthday party is one of the most fun ways to celebrate for kids of all ages (I really mean “of all ages” grown ups too!).  There are tons of different things that you can do for fun and for decorations.  All of which we’ll talk about in this post.

The party’s decorations are going to be what takes the most time to plan.  There are hundreds of different options to choose from.  Also available are packs that include enough supplies, decorations, and favors for large groups of kids.  I’m not sure if the pack method saves money, but it saves time in having to decide on which favors to use.  All of the Mario decorations are very bright and fun colored, so any that you choose are going to be festive.  An important detail to pay attention to is that all of your decorations come from the same Mario game.  There are small differences in Mario’s appearance from one game to the next, and some of the more astute kids at your party will definitely notice.

My favorite Mario themed decoration are the invitations.  There are some that are designed to look like they’re tickets to a Mario Kart race that are actually invites to the party.

Any respectable birthday party will use the Mario cake pan.  This pan was discontinued in the early 90′s by Wilton, but is still readily available on the secondary market.  If you spend some time searching for it you’ll be able to find it for less than $25.  Don’t fall into the trap that you need the insert and directions to go along with it, all of that information is available for download on Wilton’s website.  Also the cake is fairly easy to complete, so experts and novices will both have a lot of fun decorating it.

Celebrating a birthday with Super Mario is an excellent choice for any game lover.  The classics never go out of style, and this will be a common theme for many years to come.
