Miker's Bithday

So I love planning parties. I didn't realize how much until I planned Ashley's baby shower. For Hannah's birthday, I asked Bill if he would mind if I planned it, and of course, he let me. Boys don't like that stuff. So I gave her exactly what she asked for, a baby kitty party. I was pleased with how everything turned out, and the kids had a good time.


So Mikey turned 3 last saturday, and when we asked what kind of party he wanted, he said robots. I have had a lot of fun looking at robot stuff online. Here is what I have so far.

Bill's brother, Jenkin, is a ridiculously talented designer (jenkindesign.com). He is responsible for those amazing robot invitations, which I designed the entire party around. That is one of Mikey's presents in the background, wrapped to match.


Up front was something I kept seeing when googling "robot party decorations." Parents would label snacks as various robot-ish parts. i.e. memory chips for chips, wire for twizzlers...etc. So of course, I made it way cute, and matchy matchy. I took the box off the front of the invitation, and with the same font (thanks Jenkin) I printed labels for the food, and also put what it really is. Cute huh? I know. 


Finding robot decorations has been a little harder than I thought. Sara found this...

Which was definitely the cutest out there. So retro and adorable. Its in 3D! The kids will like it. Adults get boring, noD paper plates. I ordered it online, and *fingers crossed* it will be here tomorrow. 

Then! I found these on amazon.

Look at that smile. and Bubblebot 2000? come on. Doesn't get any cuter than that.

Other than that, I have streamers, balloons. The usuals. and *SPOILER ALERT* I will probably do one of those cheesy stand up things, where the kid stands behind it and put their head in for a picture. I love cheesy. I'm really excited. I will definitely be posting way too many photos on facebook come saturday evening. :)

Happy Birthday Mikers! Can't wait!
