Party planning, if I could figure out a way to make a career out of it I would.\u00a0 I absolutely love planning parties, you pick a fun theme and the possibilities are endless.\u00a0 This time the theme was chosen for me, although I love it!\u00a0 We were chosen to host our first House Party<\/a>, featuring Lego Duplo’s.\u00a0 If you have never heard of House Party it is this awesome company that gets us the consumers, free products to try and share with our friends in exchange us sharing with our friends the free items and then talking about it on Social Media.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>

These are the awesome Lego Duplo sets we received from HouseParty<\/p><\/div>\n

We received an amazing party pack from HouseParty and Lego Duplo’s featuring 6 different sets of Disney themed Legos.\u00a0 The Lego Duplos are for ages 2-5, they are bigger than the standard Lego sets and my girls love to play with them.\u00a0 So I highly recommend you check them out.<\/p>\n

The party you are asked to host can be as simple as a playdate with a few snacks, but since I love my party planning I decided to turn in into a full on Lego\/Jake and the NeverLand Pirates themed party.\u00a0 I started by looking at my favorite place for party ideas, Pinterest.\u00a0 How did we ever plan a party before Pinterest?\u00a0 Simply search for your theme and voila, tons of great ideas you can do at home to make your party so much fun!<\/p>\n

My first project I decided to try was the gift bags I found this pin on how to make gift bags that look like giant legos, how cute is that!\u00a0 The instructions were from a particularly crafty mama that had alot of tools that I didn’t own and quite frankly didn’t want to buy.\u00a0 I won’t lie I would love to be crafty and who knows maybe someday I will be, but for now I stick to simple projects and I improvise.<\/p>\n

\"Micheal's<\/a>

Micheal’s gift bags $6.99 for 12<\/p><\/div>\n

I started off buying my bags, I found the perfect set for $6.99 for 12 bags at Micheal’s.\u00a0 They were in great primary colors, just like typical Lego’s, I bought two sets for a total of 10 kids.\"IMG_4629\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I didn’t want to buy any craft supplies to make circles, I figured it would just be another thing collecting dust.\u00a0 I needed to figure out a way to make uniform circles that were approximately the correct size to make my gift bags look like Lego’s. I found it in my daughters’ metal strainer from their play kitchen, the size was perfect!\u00a0 I placed the bag on a piece of cardboard to avoid damaging my table and using the strainer I traced the bottom of it with an x-acto knife.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4626\"<\/a>I then cut out a small square of cardboard and taped it to the bag and then taped the circle to the cardboard.\u00a0 This gave me the desired 3D effect I was looking for.\u00a0 I tried gluing at first, but it would ruin the circle and a “wet” looking spot would show through.\u00a0 The tape worked much better!<\/p>\n

\"Finished<\/a>Here is the finished product, the bags turned out so cute and we got many compliments on them.\u00a0 In the next post I will show you some of of our favors I made for the kids.\u00a0 HouseParty<\/a> gave us Jake and the Neverland Pirate Stickers, Planes Lego Posters, and Lego Duplo<\/a> coupon books to add to our gift bags.<\/p>\n

\"Lego<\/a>I used the same process for making the bags to make my “Lego My Juice” boxes.\u00a0 I used yellow construction paper, and tape on these as well.\u00a0 The added bonus of having the wrapper was being able to write each kids name on their juice box.\u00a0 With all the juice boxes on the table it was such a lifesaver and no wasted juice just because we didn’t know who’s it was!<\/p>\n

In my next post I will talk about the food and favors we made.\u00a0 See you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
