Who loves MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron? I do!  My family hasn’t missed a single Avengers movie and we all have our favorite superheroes.  Don’t tell anyone, but mine is Black Widow because she’s a girl and she’s one tough cookie! Â
To get caught up and to reacquaint myself with the previous Avenger movies, Â I hosted a
MARVEL Avengers Dress-Up Viewing Party this past weekend!
It was a dark, rainy night – perfect weather for an Avengers movie marathon.
Just in case you don’t remember the movies that came before MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron, here you go!
- Iron Man 1, 2 & 3
- Captain America 1 & 2
- Thor 1 & 2
- The Incredible Hulk
- The Avengers
Sometimes planning a party can be hard work, but I was excited to find every single item I needed for my Avengers Dress-Up Viewing Party at Walmart! Â Not having to run all over town was such a relief! Be sure to check out the toy department, grocery area, party supplies, and the electronics. Â I found the favors for the adults in the check-out area, but more about that later.
I had 2 food stations for the buffet and since my dress-up viewing party was casual, I made a balloon garland to add some texture and color to my backdrop. Â You don’t need helium for a balloon garland and it didn’t take long to blow up the balloons. Â I figured out how much twine I would need and how I wanted to space the balloons, then I tied the neck of the balloon with the twine, pulling one end of the twine all the way through each time. Â The balloon garland added lots of color to the tablescape.
I planned my menu with The Avengers in mind. Â Here’s what I served:
- “Pop”Arazzi Popcorn
- Black Widow Blackberry Shortcake
- Thor’s Cupcapes
- Avengers Cheez-It Antipasto Platter
- Captain America PB&J Stars
- Sugar Cookie Shields
- Thor’s Hammer (watermelon cubes with colorful picks)
- Smashing Pistachio Pudding Parfait
- Incredible Hulk Punch
- Tony Stark’s Wheels (mini powdered doughnuts)
- The Avengers edition Doritos, Cherry Dr. Pepper & Fruit Snacks
Here are a few close-ups of the food!
Smashing Pistachio Pudding
My easy Smashing Pistachio Pudding representing The Hulk was the hit of the night! Â Who knew something so simple to make would be the favorite?
Smashing Pistachio Pudding
Ingredients
- 2 packages instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4 oz. each)
- Milk
- Mini marshmallows
- Frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Combine the pistachio pudding mix and milk according to the package directions for pudding.
- Spoon pudding into individual glasses.
- Top with mini marshmallows and whipped topping.
- Store in refrigerator until time to serve.
 
DIY Photo Booth
As my guests arrived, they were encouraged to whip out their camera phones and snap a few photos at my make-shift photo booth. Â I taped a poster to the wall and added a few props, including The Hulk Smash Hands Fists, Iron Man’s Laser Gloves, Captain America’s Shield and assorted Avenger masks.
Once everyone had a plate of food, we made our way into the great room and settled in to watch The Avengers. Â I had plenty of seating, but most of the kids preferred the floor.
Besides watching the movie, I had an Avengers Lego building area. Â The younger kids really enjoyed putting the Lego’s together and pretending they were part of the movie.
To make the night even more interesting, I awarded door prizes (Avenger movie DVD’s and toys) throughout the evening. Â It was a joy to watch the faces light up (kids & adults!) when prizes were won.
Party Favors
After an evening of fun, the adults went home with The Avengers travel coffee mugs and the children left with plastic cups filled to the brim with all things Avengers.  The adults were as excited as the kids when they realized they had a take-home favor, too! As one family was walking out the door, I overheard a little boy say, “Can we do this every week?”
Signs of a Good Party
- The Avenger movies were a big hit  √
- The food disappeared √
- The guests left entertained  and with big smiles on their faces √
- Everyone is anxiously awaiting MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron √
Have you downloaded the free Super Heroes Assemble app from iTunes or Google Play store? Here’s a screenshot of mine.
Everyone had such a good time at my party. How are you planning to celebrate the new release of MARVEL’S The Avengers: Age of Ultron? Â

This is seriously adorable! You went all out! I love all of your decor and party food ideas! I must admit, I’ve never seen the movies, but I’m sure I will at some point as Hampton grows up and starts to notice them. 🙂
Now THAT is an awesome party idea. The first Avengers movie is on tv all the time now and we literally watch it every single time it’s on! We love the Avengers!
What a fabulously fun party for children and adults too! I’m ashamed to admit that I have not seen any of the movies. I didn’t realize there were so many. My hubby would love an Avengers movie marathon at our house and a rainy weekend (we seem to be having a lot of those) is the perfect time! You made it seem fun, maybe I’ll cave in and watch.
I really love hosting and throwing parties for any reason or for no reason. The kids would think I was totally awesome if I threw a Marvel Avengers dress up party. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a great idea for the little ones, and maybe the older ones, too! What could be better than watching a super hero while BEING a super hero!
What a great idea for a party Alli! Since I have girls that are only into girly things I haven’t seen any of the super hero movies.
Hulk’s Smashing Pistachio Pudding is my favorite! Heck – if you call anything Hulk-something my kiddos will gobble it up!
Pinning and sharing this fun party!

My Grandson would love this party. He thinks he has SUPER POWERS!! But he says only boys can have them. Little does he know…..
Do you want to be my adoptive big sister!? Haha. This is like the cutest thing I’ve ever seen – I love all the dressed up kids. I’m going to go to bed dreaming of those bags of Doritos.

I just LOVE the idea of a dress-up!!! So cool! And ALL of that food looks absolutely amazing!
My son would love to be in your party, so cool and fun! He has been waiting for the movie to be shown here, it’s taking forever!
I was just saying I haven’t had pistachio pudding in a long time. Your mention of it makes me want some even more! I love that party here, and can’t wait to see the new Avengers movie.
How fun! That is the kind of party that my son would go gaga about. He loves those Marvel superheroes. And the food really looks good!
I doubt there is anything cooler than dressing up like a superhero at a party. This is a really really great idea, thank you!
My husband has been collecting Captain America stuff since he was probably still in the womb thanks to his dad. You should see our barn , attic and basement. We could open a small retail store. His man cave is wall to wall, floor to ceiling Captain America.
This looks like an amazing viewing party. I love the masks they are so cute in their costumes. I am so excited to go and see the new movie.
Wow, that was quite of a viewing party! My son would love something like this.
This is too cool! Love The Avengers and would probably enjoy this party even as an adult, haha.
This looks like such a blast, I wish I could attend a viewing party like this! I am actually bummed out because all the tickets for the weekend have sold out near me, guess I’ll be waiting till next week to see it.
What a great looking party and set-up. Looks like everyone had a fun time. =) The food looks really good.
I love themed parties and this looks like heaps of fun! The only thing missing is me!
You should have come over, Joanne! You’re more than welcome! 🙂
What Fun!! We’ve had at least 2 Avengers parties so far and I am sure I have another in my future…LOL THOR looked great by the way 😉
OMG, this looks like a blast. I can’t wait to watch this movie and I would love to have a party like this!
What an amazing Avengers party. The costumes are adorable and I love those star shaped food ideas.
We had a Marvel party too and LOVED all the fun products! I am in love with your idea though. Such a great idea!
Oh my gosh, can you start planning all of my events? This is just the cutest party ever!
This looks like it was a super fun party for everyone! I can’t wait to start throwing themed parties for my son! 🙂
What a great party, so many fun details. We are seeing Avengers tomorrow opening Day!
What a FUN party!! You really do put on an amazing event!! I know two little boys, my nephews, that would have LOVED everything about this party!
what a fun time! My eldest and I have spent the last several weeks watching all of the movies in the series, because I had never seen them before, except for the Iron Man movies, of course. *swoon* I love that you gave prizes to even the adults! I’m with the little boy who asked, “Can we do this every week?”

Holy crappola, you went all out! I love your snack options in particular and the massive array of colour youv’e got going on- this is so, so well done and your photos are gorgeous! Great job 🙂
We saw the movie yesterday, as I think it came out a bit earlier than it was supposed to for the first car load night at the drive in here in Canada. yay! ^_^
It was absolutely fantastic- just as good as the first one, although not quite as funny.
Wow, your party looks amazing! How fun! We can’t wait for the new Avengers movie too. Maybe I’ll have to do a mini version of your party for my kids 🙂
