Lego Birthday Party: The Invitations


My son is crazy for Legos!  He always had been (which is a great thing.)  I hate it when they love something for one holiday and then as soon as it's over with, and they have a ton of the toys, they decide they don't like it anymore.  Ugh.  But not with Legos. They are classic!

I started planning last year, in fact.  Then at the last minute my son decided to have a Pokemon party.  (You can see our Pokemon Party posts here, here, here and here.)  But I've been keeping all my Lego ideas (and pins on Pinterest) because I was hoping this year he would want a lego party.  Sure enough!  We're having a Lego party!

Here are the invitations we made.  Pretty simple but pretty darn cute.  And I didn't have to buy a single thing to make them!  I had the paper (except I only had red at the time) and a circle punch.

Didn't they turn out cute?

I used dimensionals to raise the circles so they would look like Lego "bumps".

The inside was easy too.  I found this free printable here.

Cute, right?


We're off to make more Lego creations.  Wait until you see the goodie bags =o)

So cute...we are doing a lego party for my son's birthday. I think I am going to do invitations this way. Can you tell me what size circle punch this is (and if there was an extra cost for mailing because of thickness :) )

Hi Holly - the hole punch was 1 inch but it would vary on how big you make your cards. Mine were 4x5 1/2.

Postage wasn't more (yah!)
