Construction Themed Party
These Construction themed party ideas come from celebrating a new baby in a family of life long construction workers.
Construction has always been the family business. Both of my brothers worked with our Dad in the family business most of their lives. My only nephew did as well.
When my nephew and his wife were expecting a baby, we gave them a construction themed baby shower. We didn’t have much luck finding a lot of ideas so we had to come up with our own. We did this baby shower on a budget to be able to make it a family friendly event for everyone. The arrival of my nephews son was a pretty big deal in our family. We wanted to include everyone in the fun!
These Hard Hat serving bowls were purchased at a local party store. Those were really cool, don’t you think!
I found Dump Truck and Bull Dozier Cookie Cutters online for cutting sandwich shapes!

We decided to be a little creative with the cake. This is what we came up with…Dirt Cake! Crumbled up Oreo cookies create the ‘dirt’ on top!
We used Construction toys to decorate the table. This Front End Loader is ‘moving dirt’!
Brown lunch bags were used for the plastic serving utensils. We also used an orange table cloth and orange napkins.

Our Construction themed baby shower was a big hit. I hope you will be able to use some of these ideas.

Stopping over from MMM link up…love this idea! Having a music themed birthday party for my one year old next weekend…will remember this for next year though!
Glad to have you stop by Lindsay. The Construction theme is really so much fun!
The hard hats are such a great and easy idea! Love it. The paper bags were also adorable and could be used for so many different themed parties.
Thank you Deanna. We had so much fun with this party. The paper bags were just so simple! I keep those on hand to give the grands popcorn in 🙂
How cute and fun! It shows what you can do when you think outside of the box. It would also be fun ideas for a little kids birthday party.
Yes. The Construction theme is great for birthday parties too! Thanks for stopping by.
So cute! My grandson would love a construction themed party- minus the baby bottle and diaper wreath! Thanks for sharing at Living and Learning With Our New Normal!
Share your pictures with its on our fb page when you do it! Thanks for stopping by!
I love it! My three year old even came over and admired all of the trucks in your pictures. He loved it too! Funny thing, my husband just told me this morning that I should be in construction since I have a great love of home improvement and putting things back together (referring to installing a new dryer vent for our newly moved water and dryer). Hope you have a great weekend!
That’s funny! Thanks for stopping by. Go ahead and make a little Construction Theme dinner for your son, he would love it! 🙂
Ha! This is so creative 🙂 I love the water melon baby!! ~ Renee
Thank you. The watermelon baby is not too hard to do. I actually cut some of the watermelon pieces with those dump truck cookie cutters and placed them around the platter. The children in attendance ate it all up!
Oh my, great ideas! Love the Hard Hat serving bowls and everything else, I bet you had lots of fun!
Thank you Anna. We did have a lot of fun. It is a fond memory now. The baby is 18 months old now! Time flies!
My dad is a building contractor; I get it! Great party idea!
I bet my youngest grandson would love this construction themed party! The dirt cake goes so well with your theme. Great job!!
Thank, Alli. I need to get my daughter’s recipe for the Dirt Cake and share that. We had a great time!
I bet they just loved this. It’s the special touches that mean so much. They will remember this as long as they live I am sure. You have such adorable ideas!
Thanks Amanda. We had a wonderful time. There was a huge crowd because our new baby nephew is a pretty big deal in our family!
Aw, those hard hat bowls are really clever! I love this whole theme. The sandwiches and cakes are cute too. Pinning!
Thanks, Steph. We had a blast planning it! My daughter found those Hard hat bowls at a party store in Atlanta.
