Pokemon Birthday Invitations and Let the Planning Begin

For months now I have been thinking about all the cool Lego things that I could make for my son's birthday: food ideas, treat bags, etc. I love all the planning that goes into my kid's birthday parties. Well, I love seeing their faces, I think that's more like it. We had a completely successful Mad Scientist Party last year, (here and here) in case you missed it. =o)

Then about 3 weeks ago my son said to me "Mom, could I change my birthday party to a Pokemon party?" What the??? But I have ideas in my head! But I couldn't say that to my adorable son who was looking at me with such pleading in his eyes. So I answered "of course we can!" So since then I've been googling like crazy to get some ideas. And oh my! He is going to be so dang excited I can hardly wait.

So here's just a sneak peak... the invitations. They were super easy to make!

In the inside we wrote:
I Chose You...
to help Cody celebrate his 8th birthday.
Come with me and train to be a Pokemon master.
There will be plenty of Pokemon to catch at (blah, blah, blah)
Be sure to call (phone number) to reserve your spot.

My son loves them! =o)

I also added a separate piece of paper asking the parents to email me a picture of their child (a head shot) so I can make one of the things for the goody bags. (Wait 'til you see them!) It also said to bring Pokemon cards for a Pokemon battle.

Now on to the goody bags......
