Okay, it’s Tuesday and this is not technically a tutorial but I thought it would be a fun idea to share with you today instead.
Over the weekend we had my son’s birthday party, he has wanted a Lego themed party for a long time so this year we threw him one. He was very excited about it and was even more excited when I told him I needed some custom lego creations for the decorations. He built me the cupcake & cake stands and did a much better job than I ever could.
To make the invites I used a program that you can download for free on the lego website called “lego creator”. I then built the word “PARTY” with legos (it took me forever!! I am not a natural lego builder) then added the little guys. I then used the screen shot in Photoshop to add the words and printed them on photo paper! Easy!! (except the trying to make a letter “R” out of legos part)
The decorations:
The party table
The cake, I was trying to make it look like legos… obviously it’s not squared up or flat… let just say I need alot more practice with fondant 🙂 but Andrew thought it was cool.
Using the same lego program I made cupcake picks. Andrew built the cupcake stand and decorated it with his lego guys.
when else can you have Sponge Bob & a Stormtrooper in the same party besides Lego? 🙂
I ordered the lego boxes and plates online.
I stuffed the boxes with some candy, pop rocks, stickers, a little frisbee & a lego magnet (I was able to find a large package of them online and split them up so each kid got one).
During the party the kids all watched a Lego movie (which they all LOVED)
After the movie they had a lego building contest.
I found at our local wally world a bunch of lego car kits on clearance. Each kid got one then we had a contest to see who could bulid the cars the fastest… the kids were pretty fast !!
Then cake & presents to follow!
now.. on to his twin sisters party… Alice in Wonderland .. next week.
I know this party was ages ago, but do you remember where you ordered the Lego boxes from? My almost 4-year-old really wants a Lego party, and I’m trying to make it special.
This turned out great. My 5 year old wants a LEGO party this summer. I would love to know the name of the place where you ordered your boxes and supplies. Great job!!!
I can’t express to you how awesome this party idea is!!! As a mom of three boys-I better just start planning for the next set of Jan/Feb. birthdays-because this is what I will be doing!!! A lego movie? Where, oh where??? Seriously-this will be my seven year-turning-eight birthday next Feb!!!
I love your use of legos for the stands and decorations! We just had 3 lego parties in our family and everyone loved them all! Such a fun theme to go with! Rebecca@RootsAndWingsCo
Yes! Finally something about electric lawn mower suppliers.
There is a place in Austin Texas that rents Star Wars Legos. They have all Themes!

Great party….I’m sure I’ll be throwing one of these one day for my daughter. Sadly, no cute Alice in Wonderland parties for my tom-boyish girl!

looks great– the cake too (-: fondant can be frightening. my 7 year old is into clutch powers too… i think lego has found another goldmine.
Love your patters! Visiting from Shey B’s! Wish I lived in the States cause I would enter your giveaway as well!!!
