lego party invitation

It's a brand new year and almost party time! My wee man will turn 9 this month and we're celebrating with what else - a Lego party. Oh yes, it's Lego madness in our house.

I saw this striking and very clever invitation idea by Allison Waken and adapted it a little. Allison offers printable downloads but the instructions weren't clear so I copied and pasted mine. You may need to play around with the positioning before you set to printing - as you do want the little men to line up perfectly when the card is cut.

I placed the invitations in large cello bags and folded the bag around the back, securing with a red dot sticker. I then printed off the names on card, cut out and stapled to the top of the bag. You could also add little pieces of Lego in the bag, if desired.

Stay tuned for Le Party - later this month.
