Super Hero Embroidered Napkins
Craftster user nikschaf embroidered these super superheroes on linen napkins for some friends. I can’t decide which one I love best.
Holy Matrimony, Batman!
“Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Super-Mega Woman and Mighty Cool Man in matrimony, which is commended to be honorable and most righteous among all men…”
After finding numerous examples of super-hero weddings online, I’m wishing I had thought to incorporate some of these fun DIY ideas into my own wedding, but I’ll have to settle for the geeky elements of having a marching band playing for our recessional and a Starfleet insignia on our groom’s cake. In case you are in the market for superhero wedding ideas, however, here are some (ahem) super ideas for you to refer to.
The photo to the right is from Neil and Sharon Vaughn’s super wedding, where they dressed as Batman and Wonder Woman, and apparently a number of their guests joined in with the cosplay, too! (For extra geek points, try to name all the heroes & villains in the picture!)
Take a look at the vintage superhero wedding hosted by newlyweds Megan and Tom, complete with red bridal boots and caped bridesmaids. [The photos are copyrighted, so I couldn't share them here, but definitely click through to check them out!] It looks like a very classy affair, with just the right touch of “super”. It apparently helps to have a marketing background to pump out a super slick invitation like theirs. Megan wrote about their wedding on the Etsy blog, including links to some of the crafty designers.
For Tony & Sarah’s superhero wedding, Tony turned to a local comic book store to help research weddings in specific comic book issues – kudos to him to conferring with experts! I can imagine the store staff really getting into the task. I like the superhero centerpieces they created – it would be fun to troll thrift shops to find the vintage pieces. They also made an impressive Fortress of Solitude altar.
What would a superhero wedding be without a super wedding cake? Though it mixes comic book universes, this cake posted at the Wedinator…well, takes the cake!

Iron Man Macbook Decal
If there are two things I love, they are Apple products and Iron Man. John from Macbook Pro Decal sent me this awesome combination of the two and I can’t wait to get my new Macbook and stick this baby on! The site also has decals featuring Captain America, Batman, circuit boards, and all variations of awesome!
Catwoman Comic Bracelet
Custom Comix over on Etsy has managed to take nerdy jewelry to a whole new level. She uses real comic books and makes awesome chunky bangle bracelets.
This particular one features Batman and Catwoman, but Custom Comix can make them with virtually any character! How’s that for talent?!
Justice League Wall Mural
This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile. DeviantArt user morgoththeone painted this Justice League wall mural in her living room. Click through to see it bigger. The details and shading are amazing and I love how she added shadows to make it look 3-D. You can also see some photos of her progression here.
