Mad Scientist Birthday Party Invitations

When my grandson turned seven years old, he had an amazing Mad Scientist themed birthday party. His mom went all out with this birthday party to make it fun, cool, and educational all in one! There was great decorations, fun, yummy food, and some really cool science experiments done in the makeshift laboratory by all the little professors and lab scientists in white lab coats she had purchased from Costco. (I'm not sure if these are still available there or not as it has been several years).




As each child arrived he or she was handed a white lab coat as well as a clear plastic name tag with his name on it with the word "Doctor" before his name. As instructed beforehand, the kids all came with wacky hairdos which made the mad scientist theme more relevant! With the help of several adults, the little professors and doctors in white lab coats made little a little tornado in a bottle, green slime, a mini lava lamp, and snow! These experiments were found at stevespanglerscience.com.
The party decor was interesting, fun, and yet a bit frightening! There was several rooms in the township hall where the party was held. One of the rooms looked like a dungeon with brick look walls, tables with brains, petri dishes, buckets of eyeballs, rubber snakes and lab rats, test tubes, skulls, monster fingernails, magnifying glasses, even a fog machine!
The tables were covered with bright green tablecloths, square silver paper plates, eyeball napkins, and cups for green juice that were clear with an eyeball glued inside each one! Each child was able to take home their cup, which they were really happy about. Jello jigglers were made in little petri dishes, individual bags of chips were handed out, pizzas were delivered, and there was plenty of fresh veggies and dip, cupcakes, ice cream, and cake to go around. My daughter decorated one of the cakes to look like a giant eyeball!




When the party was over, each child took home a bag of treats that included swirly straws, stickers, candy treats, and more in a science theme paper bag.
I have many science and mad scientist theme birthday party invitations for kids that are easy to customize, colorful, fun, and printed beautifully on a very good quality card stock. I have recently purchased hundreds of invitations from various stores of mine to see if I love them as much as I do online, and I'm happy to report that I am so happy with these invitations! They are every bit as beautiful and high quality as I had hoped. Here is a couple photos of the science and mad scientist birthday party invitations I ordered and took photos of. I have recently started making matching science theme birthday thank you notes as well.

Mad Scientist Birthday Party



I have promised for some time to upload some photos of my grandson's 7th Mad Scientist Birthday Party given by his mom, my daughter. His birthday was a few months ago and being it was mid winter here, it was indoors. Many of his schoolmates were invited as well as adults, the friends parents, and of course his own uncles and grandparents.


My daughter puts a lot of forethought and effort in planning parties, and the results show. Not only was there a lot of fun, very cool, and educational activities for the kids, there was also great party decorations, cute and yummy cakes, and great food.


Some of the really cool things about this party in my opinion was that she did several different very cool science experiments. With the help of several adults, the kids made green slime, a little tornado in a bottle, a mini lava lamp, and even made snow! These items were purchased from an online site, stevespanglerscience.com. There were plenty of test tubes, petri dishes, as well as buckets of eyeballs, brains, monster fingernails, and other lab animals scattered throughout the two big rooms the party was held in.


One of the rooms was done almost entirely like a dungeon type lab complete with brick walls, tables full of scary brains and such, magnifying glasses, skulls, test tubes, rubber snakes and lab rats, and even a fog machine to give the room an even more eerie feel. The kids loved it!


Lab coats were handed out to each child as they arrived, and each child was also given a clear plastic name tag button to wear on his lab coat that had his name as Dr. Example Sample. The invites clearly stated to dress with "wacky hair" so most kids came with hair ratted up or with pink or blue hair. They fit right in with the mad scientist theme!


The tables were covered with bright green tablecloths, square silver paper plates, eyeball napkins, and cups for green juice that were clear with an eyeball glued inside each one! Each child was able to take home their cup, which they were really happy about. Jello jigglers were made in little petri dishes, individual bags of chips were handed out, pizzas were delivered, and there was plenty of fresh veggies and dip, cupcakes, ice cream, and cake to go around. My daughter decorated one of the cakes to look like a giant eyeball!


And when the party was over, each child took home a bag of treats that included swirly straws, stickers, candy treats, and more in a science theme paper bag.


What a hit this party was with the kids and adults alike. I have a feeling there's going to be more mad scientist theme birthday parties being held in the near future!
