Boy birthday themes continue to come my way and I am certainly learning how to put them together. Do boys want to eat cute cupcakes? Do they care about all the decorations? Are they even reading the labels? Possibly the cuteness is just for the parents...? Whoever it's for, it's ADORABLE!
This post is all CONSTRUCTION! I have noticed that this is a popular theme in the party stores, Pinterest, and Etsy. There were a million ideas going through my head, but the whole idea of this blog is to use what you already have and still make it look great!
Our first Construction party comes from a new sponsor, Whirligigs Party Co., and I know I say this a lot, but I LOVE the designs found in this shop!! I don't ever use sponsors whose designs I'm not in love with!! This is a little boy, first birthday party.
These fry boxes are adorable and super easy to assemble! You put food in them, crayons, whatever you want!!
I spray painted gable boxes to look like metal (or tin) tool boxes. The tent signs in front can be made to say whatever you choose!
This patterned paper is included in the package. It can be used for so many things. I put it on the table to add some more dimension to the decor.
This party package can be purchased on Etsy and made personal. Put your little boys name on it, make the signs with his name on it. This party is perfect. I love every aspect of it! The package includes:
1. Customized " Happy Birthday { NAME } " Banner (1 double-sided pennant per page)
2. Customized 8.5"x8.5" Birthday Construction Zone Sign
3. ustomized 5.25" x 4.10" Thank You Note (4 per page)
4. Customized Birthday Construction Zone Fry Box (1 per page)
5. Customized 2" Round Cupcake Toppers or 2" Stickers (6 styles, 12 per page)

8. 2 styles Straw Flags (36 per page)
9. 8"x2" Water Bottle Wrapper (4 per page)
10. Five 8.5"x11" pattern papers (use them however you like to make matching elements)
Cupcake toppers were used on the hard hats, Tonka truck, and frame.
Thank you tags were attached to a construction vehicle, as a party favor. I found these for $1 at Big Lots and Dollar Tree.
These are cupcake wrappers that I made to hold truck-shaped sugar cookies. (Of course I didn't take a picture of the cookie itself, but I promise they are in the shape of a truck!)
This package includes the most perfect invitations and thank you cards. I love the wording and how the theme is shown in the smallest details!

The second Construction party is from Easy Party Printables and is blue, red and yellow tool-themed. I love this because there is more than just Tonka trucks but a variety of different colors.
I spray painted my gable boxes with chalkboard spray paint and wrote "Took Box" with a chalk pen. The party favor tags were taped onto the Lego boxes.
These signs can be places all over the party, also can be used as centerpieces!
