First things first, we can’t get the party started without sending out the invitations.
If you’re planning a LEGO themed birthday party, there are plenty of invitation ideas that you can use to set the tone for the big day and get all the guests super excited.
One great idea is to create custom LEGO bricks out of colored cardstock or construction paper and use them as the base for your invitations.
Another option is to design invitations that look like mini LEGO sets or incorporate LEGO minifigures into the design.
And don’t forget about incorporating LEGO puns or phrases into the wording for a fun touch.
Start by setting the scene with LEGO-themed decorations such as brick-patterned tablecloths, LEGO block balloons, and a LEGO brick piñata. Use brightly colored plates, cups, and napkins to add to the festive atmosphere.
To make your planning easier, we have included some of the best LEGO decorations on Amazon below to help you transform your party space into the ultimate LEGO world.
DIY LEGO Themed Decorations
If you want to go the DIY route, consider using Lego bricks and figures to create fun and colorful decorations for the party.
Build a Lego wall, create a Lego centerpiece for the table, or make a Lego backdrop which can also be used as the photo booth.
If you’re throwing a LEGO birthday party, you’ll definitely want to incorporate some LEGO-themed food ideas!
You could make LEGO block-shaped ice cubes, and serve up some colorful “brick” candy that looks like LEGO blocks.
For a healthy option, consider serving fruit kabobs with colorful fruit like strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries.
You could even have a build-your-own LEGO pizza station, where guests can add their favorite LEGO-shaped toppings to their own personal mini pizza.
Lastly, you know we can’t forget the cake! Create a Lego-themed cake with colorful bricks and characters. Use fondant to create 3D Lego figures and shapes on top of the cake.
