Lego Party Food

Here is the food! Well most of it at least. For food for kid parties I try to keep it as simple as possible and kid friendly because well, this was for 4 and 5 year olds. I also do let my kids pick the food for the most part and they usually pick crowd pleasers.

On the menu was:

Hot Dogs (my sons favorite)
Watermelon
Chips
Carrots and ranch (cause we're healthy like that)
Apple juice


Disclaimer. The lighting in this room was weird. It has hardly any natural light and is small so it can be hard to take pictures sometimes. Also I was in a huge hurry cause kids were coming!!!

So just wanted to say how much I love this banner I got off etsy! The person who did it no longer has a shop up but you can find a lot here.

For drinks I had juice boxes but I also did some lemonade because I knew kids would probably want more to drink. Also it was for our family party the next day with mostly adults who might want more than a juice box.  (I no longer have this stand but this one is the one I want to replace it with, LOVE drink stands!)

Love these Lego bottle faces. I used my Sillhouette   to create all the vinyl for the faces on the bottles, the lego guy and other decorations. Once I did a couple faces it was easy to adjust sizes and cut different colors.  I got my Silhouette RIGHT before they came out with the newer one, I love it and it's a great creative tool.

The name cards and other printables came from Crackers Art, though it seems that they don't have any Lego party listed right now, but you can ask! You can find customizable lego party printables here.

I have used these bottles for several parties, they are from  Starbucks Frappuccinos.  and the labels have just been taken off using goo gone and some magic eraser. I actually don't like frappuccinos (not a coffee drinker!) but my sister loves them so I had her save hers.

I did a trade from my etsy shop for these juice box covers and it looks like she no longer makes them. Bummer! They came flat and all I needed to do was put them on my own juice boxes. I used Lego stickers from a sticker book my boys got at Christmas to attach the straw. Kids loved that they got to pick their own Lego minifigure guy.

Cupcake toppers were also a trade (I love trading stuff!) but again no longer making them. I made the cupcakes using a mix made fancy (see here) and butter cream frosting. I've got cupcakes down so they don't take long and aren't too tricky to make.

Some people have asked about this cupcake stand which I got from The Smart Baker  right after they were on Shark Tank. It is genius. I can do whatever tiers I want. For this one I went full size but sometimes I'll do the top two or three tiers. All of it can be taken apart and washed. It is so versatile! This time I added washi tape around the edges just to add some color.

On the years we do big friend parties I always do cupcakes because they are super easy and fast. Weather you make them or buy them they are easy and good to go. I use cupcake tips  which I've had for years and use them all the time. They really make you look like a pro. Big party years I spend my time doing decorations and games rather than a cake.

Watermelon! This was perfect in cups that the kids could just grab. Definitely a favorite.

And my sweet birthday boy. His shirt was handmade by Room to Romp. He loved that shirt SO much and wore it all the time.
