Before all the holiday craziness, my little Jackson turned three and we celebrated by throwing him a robot party. I’m not quite sure why I chose that theme since Jackson told me numerous times before the party that he wanted a Cars 2 birthday and NOT a robot party, but the plans were already in progress and by the end of his birthday he liked robots.
Since the party was held at a children’s museums, robots became a perfect theme because there are a lot of things to build and science projects to discover. Here are the invitations:
The party favors:

Since the party was at a public place, I wanted the guests to wear something similar so I made a robot design, printed it on iron-on transfer paper. |
The food: For food I gave each family a picnic in a box filled with sandwiches, drinks, chips and robot cupcakes. When the guests arrived at the museum the first thing we did was eat then play so we had enough tables and chairs for everyone. Unfortunately I didn’t get pictures of the boxes. The day before the party, I poured water all over my computer and destroyed it! My computer was non-functional for almost a week but did get it up and running. I had really cute labels, sandwich and drink wrappers for the boxes but couldn’t use them. Oh well!

I'm trying like crazy to figure out what museum you're at but I can't tell.
You are amazing! Love the cute t-shirts and details.
Sometimes I feel like just KNOWING you is enough to say that I'm a creative person. I can say, "Oh, yes, Darleen's blog is on my list and I actually KNOW her!!" And then everyone around me can just bask in my greatness 🙂

Love the decorations. Great job! Jackson looks like he's busy impressing a girl friend who's just his size.

Hi Darleen, I love your invitations! I'm putting some together for my son's birthday. Any hints on where you found the graphics and font?
I'd really appreciate any advice/help that you can give! Marissa

Would you be willing to share your invites or sell the file? I am planning a robot themed baby shower for our friend's first baby. Their last name is Strobot- robot is in their name!! Thanks! Lauren
