Lego Party for Ellie turning 7!

Ellie had recently gotten obsessed with legos so naturally wanted a Lego theme party.

(I also helped with my nephew's Lego party years ago)

I found this invitation background and used an app on my phone to add the text in the middle the printed them as photos at walgreens (a MUCH more affordable printing option vs actual "invitiations") 

To keep things more easy for me, instead of the fancy pants lego shaped cupcakes I had envisioned, hubby picked up some simple cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles from walmart and I tossed some lego candies on each one, boom easy. 

The main cake was this masterpeice mini fig head by Pink Princess Cakes

The kids helped me make some lego head marshmallows too:

They are just small marshmallow on big marshmallows (on a skewer) then dipped in yellow candy melts and face drawn on. 

(which I had done less successfully at Prestens Lego party a few years back) 

I found some great candy molds and decided instead of sugary candies to go with the cupcakes and marshmallows I would do a Lego jello salad, which turned out good, but did not photograph well. 

The birthday girl! 

party favors were dollar tree gift bags, I bought about 50% more than I needed in the main colors and used a circle punch to cut the circles and taped on with popdots. The yellow ones were cut like minifig heads and drawn on sharpie faces. The sign was cut from a themed table cloth. 

For activities we had, LEGOS, mega blocks and duplos for the younger guests and a mountain of mixed up legos on the play table. 

(this was the after picture, it started with a long mountain of legos with plates at each chair on either side of the table)

The food tables had a small pile of legos as a centerpeice and the adults mingling at the tables did build some tiny things.
I cut table clothes into strips to make table runner, I like this look better than a solid busy table cloth. 

Ellie made this decoration! 

For signage to help drivers find the party, I covered some signs I had with extra table cloth scraps. This made them rain proof.

I like to use just a few themed elements mixed with solid color elements so that the decorations are very busy, and because I like to re-use supplies. Tip: dollar tree had lego party supplies last I looked!



I had plans to tape a little square of yellow paper (or cut extra plates into rectangles) to the top and draw minifig head faces onto these like this idea but didn't, but the color still went with the theme.

 


Party favors
 These are stackable crayons, so fun!    Each favor bag got either a mystery minifig pack (bought on sale at Toys R Us) or a snack size ziplock full of loose legos (which I bought at a swap meet by the pound).
 Could not resist these lollipops:
