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:
LOVE this idea! I have three boys who are lego fanatics and we do one “happy summer” party every year (instead of three during the year). I was a little tired of the community pool…I am on a mission. Thanks for sharing such cute ideas.
Really cute, Melissa! Great ideas!
Wow, that looks like it was an amazing party!
My son is turning 8 in August and wants a really cool themed party. He still can’t come up with an idea. I’m gonna run this one by him. GREAT IDEA. And I think the cake is darling! Fondant scares me to death!
we love legos at our house too! my son just had his birthday last week also…i would love to have you list your cake at my cake/goodies linky up at my blog here is the link

Can I copy this???? What a great idea to have Andrew make the lego props… this is being bookmarked. FOR SURE.
I thought the cake looked awesome!
How awesome is this party!! I love it all!!
I’ll have to remember to go online and look for those Lego boxes and plates, I have 2 Lego junkies in this house & having a Lego birthday would just make me the best mom ever!!
Although I have to say if I step on another Lego I’m going to scream. Those little buggers hurt!

PS. Great pics!
Thanks for sharing…I am working on my son’s 7th b.day (also lego theme) and will use your idea of getting the guys from that lego site!
What a great party! I love themed parties like this; it’s great that your son got involved in all the decorations, too. 🙂
Oh my goodness Melissa! Awesome ideas! My son loves legos; I am so doing this for his party!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!!!
THat is awesome!! I love the cake!!!
This is so cool! I’m trying to think of a party for my son who is turning 7 in a couple weeks! 🙂
Or maybe my other one who will be 5 in October…I can’t decide! LOL I can’t wait to see your AIW!
Hi Melissa! I just discovered your blog and am so glad I did! You are awesome! So many great ideas. You could open a kid’s party business!
Love the party idea! I can’t wait to see what you do for your daughter! And Happy Birthday to you as well!
What a great party idea! We are having a baseball first birthday for my son in June, but I am filing away the Lego party for future reference! Thanks!
Love your patters! Visiting from Shey B’s! Wish I lived in the States cause I would enter your giveaway as well!!!
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.
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!

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!
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!!!
very cute! I love all your lego serving trays!

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!!!
What a great party! Looks like they all had a blast!
I’d love for you to share your cupcakes on Cupcake Tuesday!

I linked up to this…thanks! http://txtanya.blogspot.com/2010/05/linky-love_22.html
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.
There is a place in Austin Texas that rents Star Wars Legos. They have all Themes!
Yes! Finally something about electric lawn mower suppliers.
