Robot Birthday Party

A robot birthday party is a versatile theme that is perfect for boys of all ages. You can draw inspiration for this party theme from famous robots in movies or cartoons like Star Wars or Transformers. Whether you decide to have a high-tech robot bash or something simpler, the robot birthday party theme will be a guaranteed hit with the kids. Here are some fun robot birthday party ideas to help you throw a successful celebration.

• Location: Decide where to host your robot themed party before beginning the rest of your planning. Do you want to host it at a venue or at home? Consider hosting it at a local science museum. This venue is a perfect option because it offers robot specific activities and exhibits for the kids. Many museums also have designated party rooms for birthdays.

• Invitations: After you have picked a location, start designing your robot invitations. Make robot themed digital invitations by including a robot image, using a hi-tech looking font, and including robot themed wording such as, “You’re invited to have some inter-galactic fun at (NAME) birthday party!” Send out your digital invitations 3-4 weeks ahead of time and don’t forget to include important details such as the time, date, and location.

• Robot Decorations: Create a robot inspired party space by first decorating the walls with homemade or store bought robot cutouts. Have wind-up toys, remote control cars, remotes, and toy robots around the space and on the tables to make the area look more hi-tech. Purchase robot themed party supplies including party hats, noisemakers, plates, napkins, and cups. To complete the decorations, place silver, blue, and red balloons and streamers throughout the party. This will make it look festive and fun.

• Party Food: Make your party snacks robot themed by labeling them after robot inspired items. Have the labels include a picture of a robot on them and use the same robot font you use for you invitations. Some label ideas include, “nuts and bolts” for a trail mix, “computer chips” for chips, “machine oil” for drinks, and “hard drives” for sandwiches.

• Birthday Cake: Make a robot theme birthday party cake to complete your party menu. To do this you need a sheet cake, frosting, candy pieces, and some creativity.  Cut the sheet cake into a robot shape, with a small square for the head and a larger square for the body. Frost the cake in your favorite robot colors. Then, create the robot’s face, arms, and legs using candy pieces and black licorice. Your robot cake will definitely impress the kids!

• Party Activity: To keep the kids entertained include a fun party activity like a game or a craft. A perfect craft option is to have everyone make their own robot outfits out of cardboard boxes and craft supplies. Have a robot outfit station with all the supplies needed including a cardboard robot box cutout, markers, glitter, glue, and construction paper. The kids will love decorating and personalizing their own robot attire and the outfits double as party favors.
