Gayle from Joyful Invitationsshares 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.”

We are delighted to share this gorgeous aviation party so cleverly put together by Sassy Snaps Perth! As Carly writes….
“Wanting to keep it very white and bright, we styled a contemporary aviation party using lots of white, a touch of scandi and some metallic silver for contrast. Inspiration came mostly from Angela (Insta handle @_honeypunch) from when she had styled her own sons 2nd birthday party with a contemporary paper plane theme, that was different from the retro and vintage themes usually associated with aviation themes.
Featuring a streamer wall and white balloon garlands, to backdrop the stunning acrylic signage and display our desserts on clear plinths filled with balloons, showcasing the cake, cookies, cupcakes and dessert towers setup alongside the donut wall filled with fresh Krispy Kreme’s.
For the kids we had a special kids table setting complete with playdough activity mats for the kids, with playdough, custom plane & cloud cutters, kids rolling pin, an activity book, luggage case (full of goodies!), and party hats.
We even had a kids corner setup with Sam’s birthday presents which included his new slide and ball pit from Hip Kids which the kids all loved!
As far as catering went, we styled a grazer for nibbles and in-flight snacks of popcorn, pretzels & nuts, and had some freshly made salads and pasta, served alongside a fresh roll, and fresh coffee that were handed out by our flight attendants on serving trays (first class service). The kids enjoyed their own serving trays with sandwiches, sultanas, chocolate bar, cookie and babycinos.
We love the extra touches to really bring this theme alive:
I just love this whole setup, the gorgeous white/grey colour scheme, all the clever ideas and stationery! Here are the vendors so you can source the items included!
