Lego themed wedding?

[ChangingsOfTheGuard]

What would your thoughts be if you were invited to a lego themed wedding. Build your own figures favours, build your own centerpiece, little sets to built whilst waiting on speeches?

Would you find it too childish and silly, or do you think you'd enjoy it as something diffferent?

I wouldn't enjoy it at all but would get on with it. I'm a bit of a lazy drunkard and like to sit back drink and chat and gossip at a wedding and couldn't really be bothered with the whole 'do something' part of it! I've also had years and years of lego with my kids so it's not a novelty at all, it's just stuff.

BUT, there's other wedding things I don't like that would bother me more (I do like weddings though!). My bug bears are splitting up friendship groups for seating, overly formal stuff, too much effort required of the guests!

Interesting that so many people are muttering about it being a waste of money. Like loads of things at weddings AREN'T?

Do what you like, OP.

Sounds great. Will you be asking for Lego sets on your gift list as well? 😁

We had minifigure favours, and a Lego bride and groom on our cake. I also made a big mound of chocolates with the Lego moulds. Our guests liked it (I think/hope) because it reflected our personalities. They traded the minifigures with each other, and after a fair amount of booze they were swapping them for a fair amount of money!

it would be the best wedding for me to attend - socially anxious people like me can fiddle with their lego creations!

I say do it

I think it sounds fun! I’d love a tipsy bash at Lego with strangers - why not! And you could walk out of the church to ‘Everything is Awesome’. Ooooh or first dance!!! Can I come?

If I knew that the couple really loved lego, and this really summed them up, then great, why not? It's great to do something personal.

If they are doing it just to be fun/whacky/different then no. Just no. The theme is the couple and their marriage. You don't need anything else.

IT WOULD BE EPIC

I would totally go and I hate weddings!

I'm not a Lego hobbyist but would love it and the vast majority of my friends and family would too. Sounds really fun OP. Have a wonderful wedding!

I love lego, but personally I would want to chat or stare at my phone in quiet moments - not build your centre pieces. Sorry op. If they were ready made they would probably be lovely to marvel at, but you might find you don't get many centre pieces if you're relying on guests to make them.

And tiny pieces/tiny babies?

I like the favours idea though, you're giving something from both of you that you like and to remember your day so why not lego, that would be fab.

I love weddings that are personalised to the bride and groom! Nice to have something a bit different as otherwise all weddings are the same! I say go for it! Anyone who doesn't want to make their figure can just leave it or give it to someone else!

I'd love it. I absolutely hate weddings, especially unimaginative, traditional weddings, so something like this would make it much better for me.

Honestly? I really don't like lego for adults

What a strange comment. Fair enough not liking something yourself but why dislike something other adults do, especially as Lego is not intrusive.

I'd rather have Lego than sugared almonds.

But to be honest I probably wouldn't touch it. I'm the least creative person ever and at weddings prefer to chat, eat and drink. I can't bear forced jollity and whilst I love weddings I think sometimes things can be over-organised and over-themed.

I prefer free flow sort of dos!

I love Lego so a Lego wedding would be the absolute best wedding ever!

For Valentines Day DH is buying me the Lego Disney Castle. It's the most romantic thing I've ever heard of!

I love weddings where the bride and groom have put a lot of themselves into the celebrations rather than just copying latest trends from Weding Mags. If Lego is your thing, go for it. What does your groom like to do if he’s not that into Lego?

At ours we had individual centre pieces that reflected our interests. Music, travel, games, etc. We used silver cake boards and stalked eBay for models and miniatures and what we couldn’t find, we made.

My DSSs we’re into origami and they made a butterfly ball for each table which everyone threw up in the air at the end of the speeches. It was a lovely end to that part of the day. The boys spent a lot of time at the evening do, putting them back together for guests to watch the effect over and over again. It kept them occupied!

Can i come to your wedding? What a fab idea and wish i could go back in time and do this!! For those that dont like Lego they dont have to participate. Its YOUR wedding and if thats what YOU want then go for it....and invite me!!

Only if you walk up the aisle to Everything is Awesome. Or at least make it your first dance!

And at some point your husband must drop trou and yell out; "Honey, where are my paaaaaaaants?"

It sounds awesome! I would have a Playmobil themed wedding myself though.

What I learnt from the older relatives at my wedding was that doing it "our" way was the best thing we could have done

My husband would absolutely love this. I would like it. As long as it represents you then go for it and don't give a toss what other people think

As long as there aren't going to be loads of babies there because of the choking hazard thing.

Mixed reactions :) obviously people don’t have to play if they don’t want too, and we would have bowls of little minifig component parts, so they could build a few figs if they wanted, or just ignore it if not. It would be practically free to do so in that way cheaper than traditional favours.

Will abandon the idea of sets and maybe just built my own centre pieces or just build Lego table numbers and whack a few flowers round them 😂

OH is into films, but I feel people would be even less enamoured with hammer horror dvd boxsets 🤦🏻‍♀️
