I’ve never done a science themed auction, but here are a few ideas for invitations that might help you play up the science theme:
-Space picture/design with the message “You’re invited to take up space. At our auction. “
(Tables/decor at auction could have name of planets or constellations)
-An illustration of the periodic table and a message along the lines of “We’ll need all of the right elements at our auction-especially you!”
- Illustration of Captain Kirk with message “Help us go where no middle school student has boldly gone before: to the science wing!” (There’s plenty of Star Trek décor out there at party stores since the movie came out. If you’re brave enough, there’s always the official Enterprise dress/jumpsuits!)
-Invite with a picture of science/discovery/technology icons, like Einstein, Bill Gates, Edison, Ben Franklin etc. with the message: “Help us discover your student’s potential!” Again, you could play up decorations and table themes with inventions such as telephone, electricity, computer, Iphone, etc.
Hope that helps- and have fun!
