PARTY DETAILS as told by Janie…

I wanted to create the perfect robot party for my son Jacob, who was turning 5 this year. I wanted it to be bright, cute and fun! I also wanted all of the decor to be functional and invite the kids to play with it and for the sweets table to be delicious and amazing!! I fell in love with Mulberry Paperie’s robot design and the rest of the party planning just came easy. Bold, bright colors paired with gray chevron! I used their patterned papers and matching cardstock to create a wooden cake, a paper cake, robot name blocks, pinwheels, a picture frame and much more. I added printables to the mason jars, the utensil wraps, the cupcakes, my life size robots, the water bottles, the chocolate, everything!!

We had robot activities like Create a Rice Krispie Robot, Build a Bot, Color a Robot, Build a Robot Tower, and Paint a Robot Bank. We all had tons of fun and had great food catered from Moe’s Southwest Grill for lunch!

    I'm very proud of my daughter in law She is very talented person any many ways but when it comes to a party she goes all out as you can see. This is just a small sample what she has done for my grandson's Birthdays. I can't wait to see what she does for the next party.

    • Janie December 30, 2013 at 10:23 am

      Thank you Don! You know I love going all out for the boys’ parties.

    Where did you have the large Jacob sign on the wall made?

    • Janie December 30, 2013 at 10:21 am

      The one behind the sweets table Jennifer? That is a vinyl backdrop designed by Paula at Blugrass Designs. She also designed all the printables for the party. You can find her at https://www.etsy.com/shop/BluGrass

    This party is fantastic. Love all the details. I am wondering who you purchased the beautiful Robot cake from? Thank you

  8. Janie January 2, 2014 at 1:50 pm

    Hi Susy, thank you! The robot cake was from Dewey’s Bakery in Winston Salem NC.

    This party looks great! I love all of these ideas! I am really inspired to use some of these ideas for my son’s 2nd birthday. Where did the cute robot candy holders come from?

      Thanks Jennifer! They are from amazon. They’re flexible silicone baking robot cups!

    • Janie January 27, 2014 at 11:41 am

      Sorry, I had forgotten to list them in the credits!

    I held a robot party for my son’s 4th birthday a few years ago and it was so fun. We painted robot banks too and our friends still use theirs. You did a great job!

    • Janie March 28, 2014 at 6:26 pm

      Thanks Kathleen! It really was soo much fun!!

    What did you use to make the white robot chocolates? I have the exact same silicone mold. I’ve tried the candy melts, but they don’t taste good. I’m about to try melting chocolate chips.

    • Janie Wilson January 12, 2015 at 11:46 am

      Hi Misty! I just saw your comment! I always use the white chocolate that is for melting in the blue bag, but I cannot think of the name of it and I can’t find it online. In store, I always find it at Walmart and food lion. It is a heavy flat package and I melt one or two “bricks” at a time.
