DLD Birthday Bash: Construction Party

Now that my oldest is old enough to have real opinions (and trust me, he does) I let him pick his party theme. I wasn't at first thrilled about the construction party idea, but it grew on me as I found some fun & unique birthday party products to use for it. Like the construction cone cups.... um, yeah they're my favorite. Plus the kids loved them of course!

I took the easy way out & bought a cake from Cold Stone (a peanut butter chocolate one, I might add). Then I just added a few machines that I got from Amazon and some candy rocks that you can buy at WinCo. It was seriously the easiest cake ever!

For the treat bags I found the cutest little bubble gum front loaders, then some little plastic construction works & road sign suckers. Then I used little toy shovels to close the bags (just put the top of the treat bag through the shovel handle). Easy & cute.

We served "rock" sprinkled peanut butter bars from the back of a toy dump truck & added white icing to some Cocoa Cremes to make them look like tires. This was actually a really basic party to plan (literally everything except the food & balloons was ordered online, which made it sooo easy). Now, onto party #3 for this month (every person in my family has birthdays in February except me... it's chaos)! Anyone else party planning at the moment? What kinds of parties are your kids requesting?  Images by the amazing Aria Photography. Check her out!
