ISSUE 13: Construction Party Magazine shoot

Carly of Sassy Snaps Perth created an amazing construction birthday party for her son and we were excited to feature it in our latest magazine: https://issuu.com/lifeslittlecelebrations/docs/celebrating_little_ones_magazine_july_2021_final 

The creativity in this party is amazing and I also love the colours with navy and grey instead of the typical yellow/black construction colour scheme!

 

 

This is part of the whole setup showcasing the kids food area and activity station:

 

The amazing backdrop included a custom illustration, amazing construction cake and gorgeous balloons!

 

Love the toppers by Press and Cut Co on this construction cake!:

 

 

Souvenir of Love created the gorgeous custom illustration of the birthday boy!

 

 

A fun smash cake was also included at the construction party which suits a construction birthday theme so well:

 

The kids table again has so much detail from the customised chair stickers……

 

 

To the fabulous construction partyware from Favor Lane…

 

 

…to these amazing drink stirrers by Press and Cut Co!

 

The kids were entertained through many different ways including this kids construction activity station, styled amazingly:

 

 

 

 

We love all the other stations and props setup around the party area such as this “crew fuel” drink station using The Lollie Trolley cart:

 

 

The kids enjoyed this amazing white jumping castle and we love how balloons are featured throughout all the props for this construction party!

 

 

 

Kids were also entertained through this amazing soft play setup from FUN HQ:

 

Love how the ball pit was setup using balloons to appear as rocks going into the ball pit:

 

Glass Slipper Entertainment also provided “construction” entertainers to keep the kids engaged:

Construction Party: Real Party Feature

 
 
Gayle from Joyful Invitations shares her inspiration for a construction themed birthday party:
 
 
“My son Jakobi has a quick mind. Quick to create, quick to play, quick to laugh and quick to make a mess!
 
Very early on we learnt that giving him creative ways to clean up would be in our best interests and so our ‘construction clean up’ was invented, whereby we would all pretend to be tip trucks and put our loads of mess away. Little did we know that our devious games would turn into a construction obsession, his room a growing tribute to his love of all things road related.
 
Jakobi’s party was therefore easy to theme. To give the party a unique spin, the main colour was a navy blue with accents of yellow and orange which makes elements stand out.
 
 
 
 
The cake, designed by Alena’s Cake Fancies was superbly executed, completely complimenting the invitations and creating height to the table.
 
 
 
 
The chocolate construction vehicles were created by Tanya at Creative Temptations. They were displayed in an upended container to further the construction feel of the table.
 
 
 
 
Cookies were elaborately decorated by the talented Karen at Piped Dreams and featured roadwork signs and construction vehicles.
 
 
 
Further table decorations included bubblegum tape that was decorated to look like a measuring tape, orange jellies turned into witches hats, jellybean tubes turned into roadwork signs and tip trucks carrying chocolate honeycomb designed to look like rocks.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The day began with all guests receiving hard hats and construction vests. They all put on construction tattoos and began to play Pass The Parcel with each layer revealing items like construction vehicle erasers, small push construction toys and grabber arms.
 
 
 
 
The fun continued with a competition of building constructions with paddle pops and playdough and then featured a piñata in a construction truck theme.
 
Guests were treated with a lucky dip where presents were wrapped up as rocks and selected with the help of a grabber arm.
 
Sack races were a highlight with caution tape adding a relevant nod to the construction theme and afterward, guests relaxed with a construction feast and the singing of Happy Birthday.
 
Overall this was a wonderful theme to create. Given that construction sites can often look messy means that recreating this in a theme allows the stylist to relax and not have to worry if elements look less than perfect.”

Construction Party Supplies

Guest posting on the blog today is Renata of The Paper Lantern, sharing party ideas and party supplies for a Construction party theme – which is one of the most popular themes for boys! Enjoy all the fantastic finds:

 

Construction Theme

A construction theme is always a big hit with boys and with a bit of creativity you can make a huge impact without spending a fortune, which is what we are all about at The Paper Lantern!

 

Construction-Theme-1

Have a look around your home for items that could serve as props such as tonka trucks, pavers, bricks and ‘safe’ tools depending on the age of the birthday boy of course.

A customer of ours piled up pavers as the cake stand…a cost effective solution that suits the theme perfectly!

Pair your own items with some of our black, yellow and orange Construction themed partyware from our online store and you will have an awesome boy’s party!

 

Construction-Theme-2
Fill our yellow parts storage bins with food for the hungry construction workers. Get creative with your food labels…we had Drain Pipes (Liquorice Bites), Drill Bits (Twisties), Nuts n Bolts (Nutri Grain Mix), Pebbles (Choc Sultanas), Building Blocks (Choc Honeycomb) and Wrecking Balls (Cheetos). Kids will have so much fun with this!

 

Construction-Theme-3
Our mini pots, wooden teaspoons and black & white bakers twine combine to make a delicious ‘mud pot’ moose for the kids and are a great way to keep the theme going.
Our Construction Printables Set for only $8.95 is available for instant download and includes invitations, drink labels, signs and so much more to enhance the theme!

 

Construction-Theme-4
Hazard tape, witches hats, construction paper straws and black & white striped disposable partyware are some of our other great Construction themed products!
These are just a few ideas to get you on your way to constructing an awesome party!
