Lego Themed 5th Birthday Party



I hope you love this LEGO THEMED 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY, submitted by Sarah Epstein of Crackers Art, as much as I do! Everything is just adorable. So many clever elements!

Here is what Sarah had to say about the party-- “When I asked my son Harvey what theme he wanted for his upcoming 5th birthday party, he jumped at the chance of having a Lego-inspired party before his big brother stole the theme for his own party next month.

I did a little happy dance because I've been dying to create a Lego-inspired party. But I also wanted to put a unique spin on it. I've seen some fabulous Lego parties on the web, but I wanted ours to reflect everything my boys love about Lego. And I wanted lots and lots of in-your-face colour - no shrinking violets here!

I designed all of the party printables and then tied in all of the food into the same colour scheme. There were two separate tables - the dessert buffet, and a smaller snack table which I directed the kids to first so they could eat something other than sugar. They also had a sit-down lunch of savoury yummies before it was time to hit the desserts.

I usually attempt the cake and biscuits myself, but this time around I enlisted the skills of the awesomely-talented Lisa from 'Cakes & Biscuits By Lisa'. And I'm so glad I did - they turned out perfectly and exactly as I had pictured.

And what's a party without some games? As well as a 'Draw Your Own Lego Character' colouring competition, we also had a 'Pin the Brick in the Wall' game (our Lego version of 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'), free-range Lego on the lounge-room rug, and some Lego tower-building races. I also created all the graphics for the games, which I just kept simple and effective.

From all reports, everyone had a great time and the birthday boy loved every minute!”

ABC/123 Birthday Party + End of School Party

This super creative ABC + 123 6TH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Sandra El-Ayoubi and styled by 3’s A Party. Such a cute birthday party theme, right?! This party would be perfect for the end of school, too. So many fun elements...love all the chalk board tags!

Here is what Sandra had to say about the party-- “My sister Lina came to me wanting to do a 6th birthday party for her son. His love for school and leadership qualities was exactly the reason to have this theme to encourage a more positive idea about schooling and healthy eating (minus all the treats) :). So the Theme of 123/ABC came about. Here is where the brilliant mind of Yassmine (3's a Party's stylist) came into action. The ideas went flying and the masterpiece came about.

Being a High School Teacher I was able to work my magic and find my way into a history museum in the school I work at (one I had no idea exited) and found an array of props that would make the event even more special and close to the hearts of all the children that were present. Props such as an old vintage school bench, school bells, vintage Globe, old historical book dating back to the 1800's, the Australian Map and Vintage looking flag had a priceless value adding element that completed the whole setting.

It was a lot of hard work but the collaboration of Yassmine, Diana and myself, we were able to contsruct a Vintage School setting that would make any person want to have one more day spent at school.”

Airplane 2nd Birthday Party


This darling AIRPLANE THEMED 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Paula Marie of Vens’ Paperie. I love the propeller airplane pops made out of marshmallows and chocolate candy melts! Such a cute party...

Paula said-- "For the backdrop behind the dessert table I hung a large white canvas. I created an airplane trail with 1 inch cardstock circles cut with a 1-inch punch.

I made the marshmallow propeller pops with fondant and candy melts. I dipped the marshmallow in the candy melts and shaped the fondant to look like propellers.
