Thought I would share with you some of my Lego theme party ideas from my son's 5th birthday party last month. He is a LEGO freak so this year's theme was a no-brainer. I was super excited when he agreed to having a Lego theme.
My mind went into overdrive with so many ideas popping into my head. There are so many Lego branded things on the market so it made it super-duper easy. I LOVE planning parties and each year I like to put in a bit of effort for his birthdays.
First mission was his birthday party invitation; I wanted something unique. I didn't want to buy a generic invitation.
I started to think "Lego man head.... Lego man mini figure shaped invite... hmmm; so, with so many different thoughts in my head I set about creating them using my Silhouette Cameo Machine and the Silhouette software.
I put the words "lego man template" into Google and found the Lego Man figure template below... see here for template: LEGO MAN TEMPLATE
I saved it to my Mac and then set out on an adventure to create a folding invitation using my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.
Let's just say our relationship was a bit rocky at first... having not had a lot of experience with my Silhouette machine or the Silhouette software before I decided to do this project, I very quickly started to wonder whether I had "bitten off more than I could chew" so-to-speak.
In the end, I stuck with it... I was determined to create an amazing memorable, out-of-the-ordinary invitation. I must admit at the end of all of though... this project WAS challenging for me; it definitely tested my patience but in the end I managed to figure it all out. I can definitely vouch that these inviations ARE pretty labour intensive but well worth the effort...everyone was amazed and I was happy with the final result... and my son was too!
