A Heroes and Villains themed New Years Eve party for adults

Hello all.
This past New Year's eve we hosted our usual NYE party at our house. This year we went with the "Heroes and Villains" theme (we all are big kids, so what better way to enjoy the new year than dressing up like heroes and villains. lol!)

The treats setup

I kind of went all out with the treats for this party, since I've basically been planning this darn shin-dig all year, as you can tell my crazy Pinterest board for it. lol
We had previously re-arranged our furniture a little, trying to find a better way for our computer setup (we've since- I know its only been 2 weeks- changed our computer/living room/dining room setup from how this was), so the usual dessert buffet was a little different this year- we did it around the New Year's countdown tv.

Yes. We were watching some Hell's Kitchen on Hulu while I was finishing up decorating. lol

 Heroes entered through the front door, villains through the backdoor. ;P

Heroes entrance I created.

My friend pointed out that "I guess only Heroes that are Left handed could enter", since this was on the right side of the door. lol

We basically themed everything in the house half and half- Half Heroes, half villains.
I used printables from all over the internet (links throughout this post and a roundup at the bottom).

Here's the food and decor:
The Heroes/comic bubble food labels by The Things Hannah Loves and the ornamental black (I used for Villains) New Year's labels by Catch My Party and Paper Dolls Shoppe

The spread before people dug in, and before some more people brought stuff (though I told them NOT to bring more food). haha

Heroes: Hero Hoagies (Subway)

Villains: The Devil's Eggs

Villains: Poison Ivy's Salad

Villains: Graveyard Pudding cups

Heroes: Captain America's Shield (notice I couldn't spell in my label- oops!)

Villains: Witches Brooms from string cheese and pretzels

Heroes: Super stars sugar cookies

Villains: Bones of thy Enemy (Pretzels with mini marshmallows on the ends, covered in white chocolate- these were AMAZING and addicting. I stuck them in mini caldrons)

Drinks:
I think everyone's favorite thing was the "pick your superpower" jello shots- we didn't have ANY left- and people kept fighting over certain "powers." We also went through all the Pumpkin Butterbeer test-tube shots too. The Hulk-smash juice was a fav as well.

Villain punch- white-grape "spike your juice" and cranberry juice

Sadly (or not sadly for some) we had a lot of sweets leftover. I brought the cupcakes to work and my co-workers devoured them (among some of the other sweets).

I loved the cupcakes the best actually.

And those were certainly neon colored. lol

My co-worker Chuck thought his cupcake was Instagram worth- what do you think? (from @ChuckEatsThis instagram)

We had a great time! I was Supergirl (well... a weird version since I had a cool corset thing- but I'm too modest to not wear a tank underneath it) and hubs was Superboy (Justice League made me love the Superboy character in general)- he did all versions of Superboy throughout the night. lol

What little bit of my Supergirl costume I'm willing to show the blogosphere- I'm not a fan of how "flubby" I looked in every picture I took, so this is all you get!

Hubs as Superboy

So don't you think Heroes and Villains are just for kids- My adults friends and I had a blast (or so I've been told).

Drinking our Midnight champagne after our kisses. ;)

Happy New Year's all! Looking forward to next year's party- we've already decided it will be Glow-in-the-dark themed. Be prepared for another NYE Pinterest board filled with ideas throughout the year. hehe
Hugs all!
