Kids’ demands grow with age. They learn from their surroundings and get inspiration from all of what they see, so if your boy or girl is asking to have a construction party this year for their birthday, you should be proud of them.
They have already started noticing workmen around them and they are inspired by them.
Arranging a construction themed party for your child is not a tough task but it needs a little time to gather everything necessary, so it is recommended if you start planning at least a month prior to the big day.
In this article, we will be discussing some ideas to assist you in arranging your kids birthday party with construction as the theme.
Construction Party Invitations & Printables
Our go to for invitations and printables is always Etsy, here are a couple examples of invites I found. (just click the image to be taken to the Etsy shop).
Construction Costumes
When you start researching about this theme, you will be amazed to know that this theme is quite popular for birthday parties and you will find lots of information online.
For a construction birthday party, you do not need a fancy costume, just grab a kids hi vis vest it will do the task. These vests are quite reasonably priced, so you could order one for each of the kids who are attending the party. Do not forget to buy hard hats for the kids and you can later use them as a safety hat.
You will also be able to order other party items online, starting with napkins, plates, cupcakes and even party favours.
Construction Cake
You could talk to your local bakery or cake maker and ask them if they can bake a cake shape like a truck or a construction site. If that is not possible or within your budget, you could make a cake or cupcakes at home and decorate yourself, perhaps with miniature trucks or tractors… here are some Construction Cake and Party ideas on our Pinterest page..
A simple idea is to order or bake a simple cake and decorate with a cake topper or edible cake topper designed especially for construction party themes (see images below for ideas).
Construction Party Decor
If you want a really nice look to your themed party, how about giving it a complete construction zone look. To make a memorable backdrop, you could paint a large piece of wood or canvas with black paint and write your child’s name or Happy Birthday to make it look like a sign on construction site. You could assign one table at the venue for gifts and place a funny sign above it, saying “dump gifts here”.
Below are some decor ideas, for the products just click on the link and you will see where the business they came from.
Construction Favours
If you are thinking of what party favours to provide to the kids, what about miniature toys from your little construction zone. It could be small toys of trucks, tractors, buckets, spades, truck eraisers, truck stickers, custom lolly pops and the like.
Usually it is considered that a construction theme party is only for boys but that is not true. You can arrange a construction theme party for your girl and order a pink hi vis vest. All other things can remain the same for a girls construction party .
I hope that this has given you lots of inspiration for your construction themed party. Remember you can see more ideas on our Construction Party Pinterest Board.
