I am knee deep in Lego party creativity right now, and am dying to share my invitations with you! I just finished making these Lego birthday invitations:
We mailed our invitations today, and Jack’s friends will have to assemble them to see the party details.
After buying a new box of Legos at Target, we came home to build something special. Jack decided to make his friends “gifts.” The two legos on the top are a bow.
1. Decide on a creation.
We made 15 of the same creations. The colors were different, but the construction was identical. This was important so we could add “directions” on the invitation in case parents kids got stumped.
2. Make a “tester.”
I found that my handwriting was much steadier if I wrote with two legos gifts turned on their side and pushed together. I wrote on the left “gift” while my hand rested on the right.
Trying to fit important information on a couple of Lego bricks isn’t easy. Try writing your phone number on two different bricks, and play around with your address. It’ll work out, just be patient.
3. Take pictures. Lots of them!
I used a picture of the top and a picture of the bottom of the “gift” to give kids and parents a hint about the construction of the invitation. I didn’t want anyone to have to call and ask me for the details because the invitation was too difficult to put together.
4. Make a bag topper.
Mine said,
This year Jack is turning 8.
He wants to see what his friends can create.
Build your gift for details,
and RSVP by phone or email.
Come celebrate
and don’t be late!
Of course, after I printed them all out, I thought of a few different (better) ways to word it, but what I have here gets the point across!
I added the photos in step 3 to the back of the bag toppers.
5. Stuff your invitation bags!
Disassemble your creations (one invitation at a time!) and drop them into a clear cellophane bag. Fold the top of the bag over once and staple, then fold your bag topper over the stapled area and staple once more.
You’re finished!
6. Send those invitations out and start party planning!

I’m so impressed with all your crafty/creativeness lately! LOVE these!!!! Can’t wait to see all the rest of the party stuff!! :)
See what happens when you quit your job?! ;)
I truly think the party is more about Mom getting fun pics for the blog… but Jack doesn’t seem to mind!
Becca you are A-MAZ-ING! I will definitely be copying these in a few years for Quinn!!
They were SO easy. Took a little time, but not hard at all.
I’m so excited for kids to start getting them in the mail!
So COOL. You are the best Mom. And the coolest. I wonder where you get it from? No, seriously Becca, don’t give your Mom “ALL” the credit. She would blush.
But I know how crafty Jack is also. He is probably having a ball doing all this.
These are awesome!!! I’m sure Jack’s friends are going to love them. Super creative :) I can’t wait to see what else you have planned.
So clever and cute!!!! Great idea. As I’ve said many times before, Jack and Max would get along great.
What an awesome idea! Will loves Legos. I will have to remember this one for his upcoming bday. Thanks for sharing!!
I love it! Those are fantastic, and such a fun idea.
What a great idea- love it!
These are adorable! Will have to keep these in mind down the road. I’m sure when the boys are older one of them will want a lego birthday party.
You are AMAZING!!! So cute!!
Love this and plan to steal it for my own kid. Awesome. Your kids have such a cool Mom :)
Those invitations are absolutely genius. I’m stunned by the creativity, that’s so cool!
With havin so much written content do you ever run
into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate
it.
Becca, I’m so amazed at this wonderful idea. My son is crazy about lego and he will be turning 6 this May. I am planning to make his party a Lego theme and your blog was very helpful.
Beng
Oh, I’m excited for you Beng! It was such a fun party to put together! Good luck!
I’m going to attempt this for Jack this year. I’m nervous, but I am gonna try :)
These are so cool
