Homemade Lego Birthday Invitations
Make your own Lego birthday inviations for your little boy or girl. Lego toys have been around forever, my daughter cannot believe that I also used to play with lego when I was a child (oh so many years ago) Much to my surprise Lego is just as much a favored toy as it ever was and lego parties are in the top 20 party themes for kids.
Being such a versatile toy we found it pretty easy to think of ways to incorporate the little blocks into our DIY invitations.
Take a look at some ideas and tutorials for making your own invitations as well as a free printable invitation that you can print for your party celebration.

Supplies
- Lego pieces in various colors
- Permanent marker pen (a finer nib pen is best)
- small cellophane bag to contain pieces (optional)
Making the invitation
- Simply assemble pieces of Lego together to form a wall. It can be symmetrical or assymetrical in shape as with our example.
- Take your permanent marker pen and write your party details on to one side of the wall. You will need to include the occasion, party date, time and rsvp details if applicable.
- Slip the lego invites into separate bags to be ready to deliver to your guests. You can use any type of bag you wish - we like the clear cellophane bags used for candy or the greeting card bags found in the card-making area of your craft store.
Optional bag topper
- Use the "You're invited to a Lego Party" clip art image below to create a bag topper for your invitations on your computer. Print them out, and staple the topper to the top of your invitation bag.

Upload your pic to your computer and create an invitation in MS Word or similar, inserting the photo into the invitation. If you can make a couple of signs in your scene then perhaps you can add the party info text and layer it on top of the sign.

Lego wall - Go to a good will store and buy up all the old lego pieces you can cheap. Build a wall of lego approximately 3"x4" or bigger and hand write the party information directly onto the wall with a permanent marker. You could even break the wall apart before you send it, then the guests will have to put the pieces together again to read the message.
Lego Fonts
There are a few imitation lego fonts that we like to use for our invitations. They are free to use for your personal use and can be downloaded for free on the internet.
- Lego character font - designed around the lego minifigs
- Lego thick - similar to the Lego logo font
- Blocks font - Not an actual font but a buch of characters in different formats. Cool but you can only really use it with a graphics program.
