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 have a box of probably 1000 figs so that seating plan appeals!!

We’d bloody love it.

If you do that seating plan people will move themselves/rearrange! People do do that! And if there's kids they'll play with it and it'll be All over the place.

You would have to superglu it.

If you are into Lego, then I'd think it was a lovely reflection of who you are.

Table centre flowers can cost £20 each easily, so having a Lego scene in the middle would hardly cost you more. I love the idea of little mini figures as your favours (yes, some people will leave them, but I have never been to a wedding when everyone remembered to pick up their wedding favour and take it home).

The only problem people will be those who are "duty invites", the people you are related too but not actually close to and don't know much about your day to day life, really as long as they don't cause a scene, doesn't really matter what they think.

He got the plan of the internet then used plates to build it, once it was done we put it on some solid wood to keep it together. We've now got one of DD and she has got a Winnie the Pooh one in her room as well as other models he's built for her.

I've been to one. Not my thing, but its not my wedding...

NC as obviously outing. I had a lego themed wedding. My mum was proper po-faced about it but our guests of all ages loved it.

We only did the name cards though and the wedding cake as LEGO-themed though. Everything else was traditional.

Name cards were placed between a mini figure (each specifically chosen for the person receiving it) an a couple of white bricks on a small white brick plate.

Cake was white and square (3-tiered) with the LEGO round bits on top.

If you’re using your own minifigs though beware that none will get left behind so don’t give away any that you treasure.

ETA we had this on top of the cake https://www.amazon.com/Low-Price-With-Free-Shipping/bbp?ref=bbppbba771144inilmmm&&category=%2Felectronics&ingressAsins=B00KGCRNX4&pfrddr=4C45TA4F9X2HMEY9CZCS&pfrddp=9a833914-8495-4139-a746-877377927ff4&pfrddi=B005XDHNF4&pfrddt=7101&pfrddm=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pfrdd_s=universal-detail-ilm

Neither me or my husband had the wedding we wanted due to family drama so it was our way of taking back a bit of the day.

Wouldn't be my thing. I'd find it too 'look at me, look at me' type event.

Hi. It's your wedding so obviously whatever you do is up to you, but you do need to have the confidence to carry it off. Personally, I don't understand why you would need to integrate a make of toy into you and your partner making a life-long declaration of love. Your friends and family are at your wedding to see you both, not to see how quirky you can be. I say: don't overthink it.

Do it! I love an actual theme that’s not made up from an entire hobbycraft range.

It’s your wedding and it should reflect you both, we had a really random theme and I know some of our guests would have said it was tacky once they were home but we really didn’t care!

My kids love lego and I can see why adults like it (its kinda a reminder of childhood and therapeutic!) but I would find it a bit childish for a wedding. Sorry.

I've been to a wedding where the favours were Lego minifigs! It was ace and those are some of the only favours I still have. We got a spaceman and a lady with green hair and they hang out on our mantelpiece

All the men in my life would love it, me not so much but then again I can not recall half the table centre pieces at weddings and usual don’t even bother to take the favours Home so on that note you Malay as well do as you please. You can not please all the people all the time x

I love lego and DH is obsessed. We went to a wedding recently where there were a few boxes of lego around in the evening to keep everyone occupied - was a great ice breaker as we knew few people.

Do it. Do whatever makes you happy. It's your wedding, it's costing you a fortune, so make it everything that you both want.

Let guests know the theme, then they can choose. Or say there will be a lego free table or area, or something.

Quirky is good, different is good. Who wants everything to be just like everyone else.

Sounds expensive

I’m think there may be companies who would makes stuff up/put packs together/produce centre pieces for you.

My son gave us a family set of the 5 of us. He went to a Lego store and chose bits to make individual likenesses. Great present.

However for you to do this for all your guests is....

A. A mammoth task.

B. Likely to cause upset for some!

Nice idea though. I’ve heard of far worse.

As a side issue - Lego hasn’t yet caught up with same sex marriages. To get two brides or two grooms you need to get two sets of their cake toppers and not use either the men or the women.

I am sorry OP but I detest Lego and think it would be horrible. If it is what you want though you do whatever you want to do and Good luck. I suppose I am saying you must please yourselves because Lego is a bit like Marmite ...you love it or hate it.

I think if i just stick a bowl of minifigure parts on the table and say these are you favours have at it, people can legitimately just ignore it...and i'll just rescue all the parts and take them home

I think we'll do the favours and have a cake topper, but not embark on a massive theme, maybe some subtle nod on the invites.

Just thinking of the guestlist for my own wedding.

Attendees in their teens, 20s and 30s would find it fun and get stuck in.

But it would completely alienate most of the parents' generation - older aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents.

So on the whole, I think less is more... don't make it too 'organised, forced fun'.

I suppose I am saying you must please yourselves because Lego is a bit like Marmite ...you love it or hate it.

I don't think this is at all true. I think most adults feel pretty neutral about Lego - they'd fiddle with some if it was there, but wouldn't buy some for themselves. I can't really imagine how anyone could 'hate' lego.

How can anyone be bothered enough about Lego to "detest" it? Odd.

Go for it!
The best weddings I have been to had a real sense of the couple and their personalities- hand made, unique touches make a wedding IMO

I am not personally a fan of Lego (don't hate it. Just a bit meh about it in general) but I would love this wedding. I like to see personality of the couple getting married. I actually think lego is perfect as an activity at a wedding because you can do as much or as little as you want. No-one is forcing you.

We had a barn dance instead of a disco and I think more people (but by no means all of them at all) were up and dancing than at an average post wedding disco or live band (always way too loud for the space).

Some people get really weird about weddings. Too formal. Not formal enough. Too childish. Too impersonal. Too much food/ drink (yes I've seen complaints about this). Too little. Too hot. Too cold. Too boring. Too gaudy.

And all I can think is why would you go spend a day and small fortune with/ on someone you don't love?

It is your wedding day. Have who you love and what you love there. Maybe some of the Lego centerpieces could be acting out famous hammer horror scenes (not too gory obvs).
