Step 1: Create LEGO Invitations

Crafting creative and personalized LEGO-themed invitations is the perfect way to start a LEGO birthday party! Take a look at these fun and unique LEGO party ideas for making your invitations stand out:

Custom stickers

It would be great to add a personal touch to your invitations with custom stickers. Print stickers featuring the birthday person’s:

  • Name (using the iconic LEGO font)
  • Photos
  • Favorite LEGO character 

You can also create stickers with the guest’s name to make them feel that they are an important part of the celebration. 

These stickers can decorate the envelope, and the invite itself.

Brick-shaped invites

Get creative with paper cutouts shaped like LEGO bricks. You should use brightly colored cardstock, and don’t forget to add details like circular “studs” by adding small cutouts on top. These invites look like giant LEGO bricks and are sure to impress your guests!

For a quicker option, you can download or create printable templates featuring LEGO characters, themes, or colorful brick patterns. Then, customize them with party details and print them at home.

Interactive invites

Why don’t you add a little fun to your invitations by including a small LEGO piece in the envelope? You can write a fun message like:

  • “Let’s build fun at the LEGO themed birthday party!”
  • “This piece is your ticket to a fantastic LEGO adventure!”
  • “Don’t lose this LEGO piece—it’s party time!”

This gets guests excited about what’s coming at the LEGO themed birthday party.

Step 2: Design a LEGO World with Themed Decorations

Next, let’s transform your LEGO birthday party into a vibrant LEGO world with creative, eye-catching LEGO birthday decorations.

DIY Lego Brick Walls

An interesting LEGO party decoration idea is using stack-painted cardboard boxes to create colorful “LEGO bricks.”

You need to glue circles cut from cardstock or foam on top of each box to mimic the studs so that they look like real LEGO bricks. 

Then, arrange these boxes along walls; or use them to build:

  • A backdrop for games
  • A photo booth
  • A dessert table…

Balloon Bouquets

To create balloon bouquets that mimic LEGO studs, you can tie together balloons in clusters of 6, resembling the stud pattern typically seen on LEGO bricks. It’s better to use bright, classic LEGO colors like red, blue, yellow, and green.

These balloon bouquets can be placed around the room or used as centerpieces for tables.

Table Setup

Have you thought about setting your tables with bright, LEGO-themed tablecloths and matching plates, napkins, and cups? This is one of the easiest ways to instantly create a cohesive look that matches the LEGO theme.

Additionally, you can scatter small LEGO pieces or mini-figures across the table as decoration.

Photo Booth Fun

If you are finding interesting ideas for the photo booth at your LEGO birthday party, consider:

  • Create a giant LEGO minifigure cutout with a hole for faces
  • Build a backdrop out of the DIY LEGO brick boxes
  • Add some fun props like oversized LEGO bricks or speech bubbles with phrases like “LEGO my picture!”

LEGO Number or Letter Decorations

Another unique decoration idea is building the birthday person’s age or initials using LEGO bricks. 

You can display these on the dessert table or as part of the photo booth for a personalized touch.

Hanging LEGO Garlands

Garlands are also important decorative items at any party. To make them, you can cut paper into LEGO brick shapes and string them together to create colorful garlands.

Then, hang them across walls, ceilings, or entryways.

Step 3: Serve LEGO-Themed Food and Drinks

Now, it’s time to add LEGO food and drinks to make your celebration even more fun and memorable. 

Brick-Shaped Treats

  • A LEGO birthday cake:  You can bake a rectangular cake and add round fondant pieces on top to mimic LEGO studs. For a more creative idea, consider making a multi-layered cake that looks like stacked LEGO bricks.
  • Square brownies: This cake can also easily be transformed into edible LEGO bricks when you top them with M&Ms, colorful icing, or fondant circles to create the stud effect. 
  • LEGO Jello Bricks: Another fun idea is to make LEGO Jello bricks using brick-shaped molds in bright, classic colors like red, blue, and green.
  • LEGO cookies: You can also try making this sweet by using rectangular cookie cutters and decorating the cookies with colorful icing and candy dots. 
  • LEGO fruits: For a healthier option, you can cut fruits like watermelon or pineapple into brick shapes and stack them on skewers to resemble LEGO towers.

Snacks and Drinks

  • You can serve “Building Blocks” candy, such as colorful jelly beans or gummy blocks, in clear containers.
  • Square sandwiches or mini pizzas cut into brick shapes will also fit the theme perfectly.
  • Juice boxes wrapped in LEGO brick designs is another easy way to give drinks a LEGO brick theme.

Pro Tip

If you want to make your snack table even more engaging for the kids, labeling food and drink with stickers is ideal. 

For cupcakes, sandwiches, or bite-sized treats, you can use vinyl circle stickers to create toothpick labels. Print fun phrases like:

  • “Fuel for Builders”
  • “Brick Bites”
  • “Edible Blocks”

We recommend using iconic and colorful LEGO font for these texts.

For drinks, especially if you’re using mugs, glass cups, or reusable plastic tumblers, transfer stickers work best. Design stickers with LEGO-inspired themes like:

  • “Refuel Here”
  • “Builder’s Beverage”
  • Small LEGO brick 
  • Minifigure graphics

Then, you can apply the transfer stickers directly to the cups.

Additionally, you can use larger vinyl die-cut stickers to label containers or trays on the snack table. 

These little details can make your LEGO birthday party theme lively!

Step 4: Plan Hands-On LEGO Games and Activities

Interactive games and activities will keep everyone entertained throughout the LEGO birthday party. 

  • LEGO scavenger hunt: In this game, you will hide small LEGO pieces around the party area and provide clues for the guests to find them. Once all the pieces are collected, everyone can assemble them into a structure or design.
  • Building challenges: This game encourages creativity and teamwork by giving each child or group a set of LEGO bricks. Then, they have to build the tallest tower, the coolest vehicle, or the most unique design within a time limit.
  • LEGO minifigure races: Guests can have their LEGO vehicles to race down a ramp, seeing whose creation is the fastest.
  • Photo frame crafting: This activity is great for a creative keepsake. Guests can use LEGO bricks to build their own personalized photo frames. Then, they can take it home to remember this special day.

Step 5: Prepare Creative LEGO Party Favors

Complete your LEGO birthday party with fun and creative party favors. These thoughtful LEGO birthday party supplies will ensure to make all little builders happy.

LEGO Kits

Personalized Minifigures

Personalized minifigures are another exciting option. You can set up a minifigure “creation station” during the party, where guests can design their own unique LEGO characters. This DIY LEGO birthday party idea will be a fun activity and a great keepsake.

DIY LEGO Containers

Small plastic containers decorated like LEGO bricks can serve as reusable storage for party favors. You can glue colorful foam circles onto rectangular containers to make them look like LEGO bricks.

Custom LEGO stickers

Custom LEGO stickers are a fun addition to your LEGO birthday party favors. You can design stickers with:

  • Each guest’s name in the LEGO font
  • The birthday person’s name or age
  • Phrases like “Master Builder” or “Thanks for Building with Me!” 

With these additions, all your guests are sure to enjoy these personalized favors.
