I think the summer of 2011 should be called the Summer of the Super Hero. Thor has already rocked out with his hammer and the X-Men took us back to the sixties. All of this gives me high hopes for Green Lantern which is being released June 17th.
Just like Thor you need a movie release party that meets Green Lantern’s level. We’re here to help. If you need more great superhero party ideas, make sure to check out our Batman Theme Birthday Party!
Start the party off right by choosing your guests with Green Lantern Invitations. Settle on an early start time and insist on a RSVP date as you’ll want to buy tickets in advance.
Because there is never enough movie popcorn to go around you’ll have to make a menu that feeds all your guests and fits with your theme. How would I accomplish this? I plan on serving green food. And no, I don’t mean rotten food! I plan on channeling my inner Seuss and dyeing my food. I’m going to try my hand and attempt to dye: macaroni, sugar cookies, ice cream, marshmallows, and green jello. (This is not a menu I would recommend for people looking to diet.) After their initial reactions, I think they’ll appreciate the commitment to detail.
Of course with all of this food, I need to give my guests something to drink. I’ll start with Mountain Dew. Does it get any greener? I do not know. An added benefit to the Dew is the fact that we’ll all be wired for the Midnight movie viewing.
Now for the adult guests I'm going to be serving green jello shots throughout the night. These should be a nice added touch to the party. But safety first, and adults only.
I also want to try my hand making The Ghoul’s Green Drink. I think this is something that all of my guests will enjoy. And if it’s a hit, I’ll bring it back for Halloween. So this is a win-win for me. (Yes, Halloween is already on my mind.)
Now you don’t know if The Guardians are going to show up or not, but you should still plan on setting a table worthy for them. Start with a green table cover. Then you’ll need Green Lantern Cups, Green Lantern Goodie Bags and of course Green Lantern napkins.
While the real entertainment is the movie, I think having a few party games before the movie is a good idea. I think I’m going to try out this Green Lantern game and see how it plays out. But because it’s summer and should be warm out, I’m also going to add a touch of old school and bring out a ring toss game. The movie is all about the ring, so why not battle with your friends?
I’ll be giving my guests their party favors as we make our way to the theater for the premiere. I want them to feel like part of the corp so I’m giving them all Green Lantern Tattoos, Green Lantern Movie Stickers and, of course, green LED rings.
Now we’re all set to enjoy the Green Lantern movie!
