Birthday Bash! 8 Fantastic Party Themes

Invitation: Make a robot invitation from silver craft-paper rectangles and attach body parts together with silver fasteners. Write party details on the body and add googly eyes and silver chenille stems for antennae.

Set the Scene: Hand each guest a glittered antennae headband and glow-in-the-dark necklace as they enter the party galaxy. Use fishing line to hang metallic cardboard stars (partycity.com has a great supply) and painted Styrofoam planets from the ceiling.

Crafts & Activities: Make a robot body from a box (one hole for the head, and one on each side for arms), slip it over the head of an adult or teen volunteer, and let the kids decorate using silver tinsel, disposable cake tins, aluminum foil, tape, and stickers.

Food: What would this party be without cool robot cupcakes? For lunch, serve star-shaped chicken nuggets in mini pie tins with a honey-mustard dipping sauce.

Favor: Fill a disposable bowl with space-themed candies (thespacestore.com is your one-stop shop) and cover with another bowl rim to rim to form a flying saucer. Attach the two with star stickers or a strip of colored tape.
