Super Mario Brothers is such a popular theme when it comes to birthday parties. We actually featured an adorable Mario and Luigi Birthday party last spring, which was chalk full of charming DIY goodness. Today we’ll take a look a some additional ideas to help you create a *Super* Mario Bros birthday!

{Clockwise, starting at top left:}
- These modern and clean Super Mario Brothers cupcakes by Death By Cupcake are just perfection!
- Honestly, I think every party deserves some tissue paper pom poms. Sky blue, lime green and yellow pom poms work perfectly (photo via swishersweets80’s).
- Take advantage of the current mustache on a stick craze and have fake mustaches on hand for all of the little Marios and Luigis.
- I love this Amazing Super Mario Bros cake by Cakes By Ashley. The details on this cake are phenomenal! Ashley always does such stunning work. Any birthday boy/girl would be thrilled to have this cake!
- More treats from Death By Cupcake. These Mushroom and Goomba cookies are delightful. They were packaged in super cute bags as favors!
- These Mario Bros pillows, available here on Etsy, would be the perfect party room decoration AND serve as extra floor seating.
- Coin boxes filled with candies make the perfect party favor. Available here on Amazon.
I hope this inspires you to create your own Super Mario Brothers Birthday! If you have other good ideas, be sure to share them with us.
