Transformer Birthday Party Ideas

For my son’s 6th birthday party I planned a simple Transformer birthday party.  The highlight of the party was Bumblebee.  I used lots of yellow and black to honor my son’s favorite character at his Transformer birthday party.

I will show you what I used to plan, decorate, find inspiration as well as Transformer birthday party ideas that are simple and easy.

I use this planner that you can download for free for every party that I plan for my son.  Because his birthday is December and around the time that life gets busy, I always plan 3-4 months in advance.

I know. It seems a bit excessive, but I promise it helps make my life a lot easier and stress free when the day of the party finally arrives.

I always start by picking out a theme, date and budget first.  Once these three things have been established I will start looking for inspirtation on Pinterest.

This year, my son is in love with Transformers. Of course I had to have this as the theme especially since the new movie is coming out around his brithday.

This Transformer birthday cake was the source of my inspiration. 

My friends at my local Publix were able to figure out what I wanted with my crude drawing.

I used my favorite cake stand and order the Autobot symbol to go on the cake.

I decided not to have the party at my house because I did not want to have to deal with the stress of cleaning my house before and after the party. I opted to have the party at Rebounderz, which is now called Bravoz Entertainment Center.

For a little extra money they will set up and clean up for you!  I didn’t even need to come up with games for entertainment because they did all of it for me!

The party was super easy and stress free because I was able to sit back and let the wonderful people at the facility take care of everything for me.

A few things to note if you are having your party outside of your home. 

Check to see if they allow you to hang decorations on the wall and ceiling. I ordered some decorations for the wall and ceiling that did not get used. And I felt like I could have save a little money if I did not have these unneccessary items. 

Also, check to see if they provide entertainment or if you need to provide entertainment.  Again, I bought some items that didn’t even get used because they had all of the entertainment planned out.

Be sure to confirm if outside can bring outside food in, order additional food or drinks and if you can set up the room prior to the start of the party.

I purchased most of my items from Amazon. I created a wishlist months in advance.

And every pay period I would order a few things from the list until I order everything on the list (and then some).

To see all of the things that I ordered for this party, you can check out the list here.

I made my guest list a month in advance and started to come up with Transformer party favors for the party.

My mom was awesome and created shirts for my family and the guest. She used her Cricut and heat press to make our custom transformer birthday shirts.

I also had bags with goodies and a few pieces of candy with a balloon attached for all of the kids.

There were 2 special Transformer birthday shirts created for the birthday boy.
