LEGO-birthday Garner

I made invitations with jewelry boxes.
I had loose Lego's in each with further instructions.
Once they built the Lego's it said--Food and cupcakes will be served. Please RSVP by -/-/- to ---@hotmail.com.
Because I was caught up in the details of other items of the party I decided to go simple and make chocolate lego's out of some silicone molds I bought. No fondant this time!Lego candy block bricks. They're stackable too!
Little mini figure with mini building pack for the take home favors.
favors
Diaper box pinata I made with "red solo cups" and red crepep paper. No glue, just a tape.
All foods were square, rectangular or round for the components of the Lego bricks.
Cheese and cracker building pieces.
Lego juice boxes with square food.
Bubble wrap runner.
Estimation jar as a decoration. Empty boxes wrapped in primary colors for extra height.
Each boy had a plastic bag with loose wheels, bricks, etc to build a car and race them with each other down the 4 tracks.

Lego Factory building area in the basement.
I wrapped empty boxes in primary colors for extra tables.
Drew the faces on with a permanent marker.
Estimation jar in the middle of the table with my son's Lego's that I counted out ahead of time. This was a good activity when they first came in while the rectangular "brick" pizza was cooking with pepperoni "lego dots" on top.Drew Lego head faces on each.
We recently went to Legoland in Florida because my son is in love with Lego's right now. For his 7th birthday I invited the boys from class and had an all Lego themed party. I have to say of all the parties I have done for my children, this might have been one of the easiest parties I've ever planned. I did let the boys take home the cars they built so that might be the biggest expense if I could offer an advice on planning your own, but besides that it was easy to come up with food and activities and they all said "it was the best party ever" :)
