LEGO PARTY…invitations and decorations

Big M loves Legos!  He jumped all over the house when I suggested he could have a Lego Party for his 6th birthday.  Searching the web for Lego Party ideas was so much fun.  I found so many great ideas that it was hard to settle on which fun Lego details to use.

Lego Party Invites

I have been using Evites for years.  They are so easy to send out, and because people can RSVP immediately online they actually do!  I like the option to upload my own pics and for this one we used a Lego number.

I asked Big M to build a number 6.  I was impressed with his creation (I usually am)!  Then I set the 6 on a large green Lego piece and set them both on black construction paper.  All that was left was to upload the picture onto the Evite.

I didn’t have an email address for some of the guests (can’t send an Evite, with no email address), so I used the same pictures to make a few cards.  I folded a red piece of construction paper in half and glued the picture on.  Then I simply added the party details to the inside.  Cute, simple and cheap…love that combo!

Lego Party Center Piece

The party was at a local park, so I didn’t need too many decorations.  A few special details made the party feel perfectly LEGO.

A couple of weeks before the party I asked Big M to save his Lego creations, instead of taking them apart.  When we got to the park I asked him to display his work.  They made the perfect center pieces.

Lego Party Napkins

After using a potato to stamp hearts on the Letter H it became one of my favorite decorating methods.  The Lego Head stamp was so easy.  I used an actual Lego Head as a model.  Then with a sharp, small knife (I used a steak knife) I started forming the shape.  I think the most important thing is to make sure that the cut is deep so that the extra potato won’t get in the way when you are stamping.  I brushed a little yellow paint onto the potato stamp and then pressed it onto some plain white napkins.  SIMPLE!
