4. Thor’s Hammer

Have Mjölnir on full display for your guests to pay homage to the God of Thunder (If your guests are worthy, that is). You can use this piece as part of a game (if the material allows) or simply as a talking point.

Set a S.H.I.E.L.D. sign outside your front door, or in your entryway to welcome your guest to your Marvel-themed bash. While this sign might not be as showy as some other designs, Marvel fans will be sure to appreciate it.

6. Infinity Stone Tables

If there are going to be multiple tables, a fun way to differentiate is to set a replica of each infinity stone at every table. You can even set a notecard to tell your guests whether they are sitting at the “space stone” or the “reality stone” table.

7. Avengers Logo

You don’t have to be a major Marvel fan to recognize the iconic Avenger’s logo! You can make your own out of cardboard, or stick up the fun and affordable decal. Any way you choose is sure to make your guests feel ready to take on their next superhero mission!
