Loads of Fun Birthday Party

Fletcher turned 3 last Friday and we had the best time planning a construction themed birthday party for him.  He loves lots of things, but diggers have been a favorite for a while now.  If you've been around here for very long, you know that I love party planning.  I look forward to planning my kid's parties all year long.  They both have Spring birthdays so it's such a fun time of year for me.

We were out doing some grocery shopping a few weeks ago and spotted some big construction equipment parked in the parking lot.  We walked over to check it out and snapped a few pictures for his birthday party invitations.  There's a lot of new construction in our area so we were excited about this perfect timing.

I made his invitation in PicMonkey and printed them at Sams.  I also made thank you notes to match with a different picture.  It's hard to find boy thank you notes so making my own has worked well for kid birthdays.  I printed the 6x8in size invitations.  They come with an envelope for $0.38/each.  I love how they turned out.  I also printed some construction pictures to decorate with at the party.

Party Supplies:
Hobby Lobby has a really cute selection of construction themed items.  Most everything in this picture is from there.  I'd pick up an item or two at a time using the 40% off coupons each week.

Dollar tree also had lots of good things for the party.  The cones were 2 for $1, the paper straws, utensils and place mats all came from there.  The candles were from Meijer.

Everything looked so cute on the table.  I love mixing and matching napkins.  I went with four different prints and gave each place setting two different napkins.

Each year we do a birthday book for all the family to sign.  Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site was the book this year.  I trace the kid's hand print and we all write the birthday boy a message. 

Four different kinds of napkins make for pretty tables.
I try to do napkins that I could reuse after the party if possible.  I figured the black and white would work for Halloween and the yellow would be cheery for Summer.

I found a big package of over 100 turquoise solo cups on clearance so I added that color into the party mix.  I loved the color combination.  I also have a fun set of turquoise gingham serving pieces so it was nice to get to use those for the party.

The construction party signs were a hit. The kids really enjoyed working at this construction site during the party.

We did really easy treat bags of all edible things.
Fruit by the foot = measuring tape.
Mini cookies = wheels.
Rice Krispie treat squares = building blocks
and a mix of Fletcher's favorite candy.
