Why is LEGO So Popular?

LEGO is so popular because it’s an educational toy, that doesn’t feel like one to those who play with it.  LEGO engages kids’ creativity and logic at the same time. 

In addition, LEGO building blocks are simple to use, and you can build anything you want. 

With these building blocks, you can create your own designs or follow instructions from a pre-designed model. 

Star Wars fans can build the Millennium Falcon, while history buffs can create model replicas of famous landmarks.  LEGO has something for everyone.

Lego Party Ideas

First, let’s talk about LEGO party supplies.  Yes, you can purchase a LEGO party in a box, like the ones here, but why not have DIY LEGO party supplies to save money and also have a more personal touch?

Our son turned six recently and wanted a LEGO-themed party, but we didn’t own enough LEGO bricks to make that happen, and we knew it would be costly to purchase enough.

We asked out local public library if we could rent their meeting room and use their LEGO supply. They host a monthly LEGO club for kids aged 4-9.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t rent the room, but they did say we could invite all of our sons friends to join at the next scheduled LEGO club, which happened to fall on his birthday.

We invited his classmates and a handful of friends to attend, and it was the perfect setup. While the party only lasted 1 hour, everyone had a excellent time building with thousands of LEGOs, and the party space was free.

DIY LEGO Party Invitations

If you want to learn how to throw a LEGO party on a budget, the first thing you’ll need for your party is DIY Lego invitations. 

Kickstart your party planning with DIY Lego-themed invitations. Take colored cardstock and cut it into rectangles. Draw circles on each rectangle and color them in to resemble Lego bricks.

This not only saves you money but also adds a personal touch to the invites.

You can get some LEGO party ideas for invitations from the following bloggers.
