I have been going back through party photos to find old events I have never shared. This Lego inspired party is one I threw for my twins several years ago. It was so much fun! Check out all the fun details including FREE printable decor below.

I added a few pieces to my mantle to create a cute lego display. A polka dot garland in the party colors, a couple of lego storage pieces (the mini fig head and large green brick, and a fun printable centerpiece. I made a centerpiece holder out of lego bricks.

I set up my main dining room for treats and lego building.

This fun printable banner has lego patterns on the paper and cute mini fig heads.

Each guest got a mini lego set to build during the party. We watched the LEGO movie while building.

Printable cupcake toppers dressed up homeade cupcakes.

I made these cute mini fig marshmallow pops with large and mini marshmallows and yellow candy melts.

This lego pinata was a cinch to make. A rectangle box and solo cups were wrapped in red crepe paper. I just cut the fringe before wrapping. I left a hole in the top and filled with candy.

Each guest had a bag to collect their pinata candy!

I created these fun treat bag with these lego printable treat bag toppers and brick candy from the bulk candy section.

It was such a fun party building with my boys!

My twins didn’t get to have a party this year due to quarantine so we celebrated later in the summer with a backyard movie night. It was a great way to see a few friends with minimal contact. I set up this fun concessions table with portioned snacks for everyone.

This art cart made a fun drink station for the boys. I added a printable sign and water bottle labels to fit the theme.

We served cupcakes, licorice, popcorn, and of course candy! All the classic movie treats. Each boy came up one at a time to grab their goodies. Even though we were celebrating late we added a fun movie inspired Happy Birthday printable banner to the table.

You can find these great popcorn containers on AMAZON HERE (AD) as well. Perfect to use for any movie night at home and they are reusable.

Printable movie cupcake toppers featured film rolls, tickets, popcorn and more. Perfect for a movie night even without a birthday party.

We were lucky enough to borrow this awesome popcorn machine from my parents. Every movie theater needs the smell of freshly popped popcorn.

I created this smaller table to hold carriers for each guest. They were able to carry home any leftovers in their personalized box. I love the banner with oversized cut outs of the movie images.

Both birthday boys had a centerpiece featuring his name on a star.

Each guest received a carrier to hold all of their treats. They were able to hold 2 beverages, popcorn, and several boxes of candy. This helped them keep their items from being mixed up and much less contact. You can find them HERE ON AMAZON (AD).

This was such a fun summer party set up! We were lucky to have a warm evening to enjoy our movie.

I have been loving these large printable signs as backdrops for my parties. They are a great way to incorporate your theme and they are so easy to use. I get mine printed at a local print shop then mount it on poster board or a large canvas that I use over and over for parties using command strips. Just set it on the table and you have instant decor.

Even without a birthday this is such a fun summer activity. Just skip the birthday banner and create one using the editable files saying Movie Night or any other custom text. Why not set up a family movie night in the backyard? Make it extra special with my printable package! Perfect for an end of summer bash! Find the printables HERE!

I also have a POPCORN party package available in my store for a slightly different look.

Hope you are enjoying the rest of your summer and creating special moments with those around you.

The sweet little baby this shower was thrown for turned 1 this summer and I thought it was the perfect time to share. Her mama LOVES Elvis my friend and I knew we had to incorporate this into our party without being too cheesy. This was a first girl after 2 boys so we also wanted a soft feminine party. After many brainstorming sessions we decided on Shake, Rattle & Roll. This combo of classic baby images and fun Elvis wording created a fun whimsical baby shower theme.

We used a bottle (Shake), Rattle, and Stroller (Roll) as our images with soft baby pink and mint green accents. I punched my printable Shake Rattle & Roll cupcake toppers out with a scalloped punch for an extra girly touch.

All of the food was Elvis inspired. We used elements from his favorite foods to create out menu. Peanut butter banana bars, coconut macaroons (he loved coconut cake), and lemon meringue parfaits.

We hosted the shower at the bride to be’s church rec room. It was a large space with not great lighting. We made it cozier by using round tables just in one half of the room for guests all focused towards the main table and mom to be’s chair. Each table had either a centerpiece circle in a scalloped pot or diaper cake, mini tissue poms, plus a frame with Elvis lyrics, place settings with a favor, game card, and drink jar.

Cupcake toppers were used on the drink jars as a cute little tag.

We used pink Hershey’s kisses in clear bags tied with a printable favor tag for a sweet treat for each guests to take home.

My friend made these gorgeous diaper cakes for the tables. They were topped with printable centerpiece circles and pink curly ribbons. We wrapped the layers with pink and mint fabric and layers of ribbons. I love how they turned out! Such a pretty decoration and gift for the mom to be.

The last Elvis touch were these adorable blue suede shoes my friend found as a gift for the mama. Such a sweet and special baby shower celebrating baby Presley! Yes you read that right. Baby girl was named Presley after Elvis himself. So fun!
