Lego themed wedding?

198 replies

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 am personally don’t get adults who like Lego (especially parents! I thought all parents were united in LEGO hatred) but I would love you for doing this, keeping my child entertained rather than kicking off! Do it!

Morni - I generally don't, unless I know it's not going to be traditional.

Mrsmadevans · 01/02/2018 18:16

I hate it because it is so expensive , the kids lose the most important bits to make the damn model, they leave it out on the floor and it really hurts when you step on it and lastly I find it boring. It's overrated imho.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 01/02/2018 18:23

Not wanting to play with Lego at a wedding reception doesn't necessarily mean you hate Lego . I've had years of Lego with my kids; it's really the last thing I'd want to do on a night out.

ScreamingValenta · 01/02/2018 18:28

I can take or leave Lego (it must be over 30 years since I've handled any) but I would enjoy this very much - a different and memorable theme, and great fun. I'm sure you won't force anyone to build things if they don't want to!

People can do as they please, so long as they have fun. Maybe I’ll feel differently if I have kids...but I’ve always been a Lego person, and I find it very relaxing

I think it sounds great!

PM'd you @ChangingsOfTheGuard

AnnieAnoniMouse · 09/03/2018 21:02

How are your plans going?

Initially I thought I’d LOVE it, but within a couple of minutes I realised I’d actually find it really stressful. I love Lego, the orderliness, the building to plan etc and the thought of all the pieces going missing, not keeping all the bits of sets, people thinking it’s funny to ‘drown’ the mini figures in their beer, bits getting swept up and thrown away...I’d spend the entire wedding crawling around on the floor rescuing bits & my blood pressure would sky rocket.

...it might be time to name change

Morphene · 09/03/2018 21:30

That's a bloody amazing idea...almost wish I wasn't already married!

Flockoftreegulls · 09/03/2018 21:38

Are you going to walk in to everything is awesome? I love the lego movie. I know you don't mean a lego movie theme, you are obviously proper lego fans.
If you and your beloved like it you should go for it.
Honey, where are my pants?

NinjagoNinja · 09/03/2018 21:45

Why can't your guests talk to one another? It's infantilising. Don't treat them like they have the attention span and social graces of toddlers. I'd find it totally weird and embarrassing. It's a wedding, try to keep it classy. Buckets of lego to keep the neanderthals from having a food fight?

Triskaidekaphilia · 09/03/2018 22:16

Anyone else really, really hoping that OP is one of their friends and would consider them invite worthy?

CanIBuffalo · 09/03/2018 22:25

I loathe weddings but I'd look forward to this. Sounds fab OP.

Somersetter · 09/03/2018 22:30

Any families with kids invited will be delighted! (Please don't tell us it's a no kids wedding - that would be weird with a Lego theme!!)

I love this Lego cake...

LeighaJ · 09/03/2018 23:23

Maybe some would be taken a back by it a bit but guessing the majority of your guests know you all well enough to not be surprised.

Sounds different and fun.

I'm sure people will find it a refreshing change from a shabby chic burlap encased wedding or maybe that's just a US thing.

Noodledoodledoo · 09/03/2018 23:32

I had a bit of a Lego theme at my wedding.

I did sugarcraft lego blocks as favours in our colours in little bags, plus some printed M&M's with date/name on.

We had Lego games on each table, like this one www.ebay.co.uk/i/122940125234?chn=ps&adgroupid=50809222926&rlsatarget=pla-412183266849&abcId=1133936&adtype=pla&merchantid=115073560&poi=&googleloc=9044919&device=c&campaignid=1057753625&crdt=0

We had about 6 different ones.

We had 4 kids at our wedding and most tables were playing the games when we wandered around during the day.

Our table plan had all the lettering in Lego style and the menu cards etc on the table.

Name settings were individual white bricks with a label on!

We toyed with doing cake and didn't - which I do slightly regret now

Angie169 · 09/03/2018 23:33

great idea on the mr and mrs

Canuckduck · 10/03/2018 01:05

Weird unless it’s a wedding for children.

MiddleClassProblem · 10/03/2018 01:09

Weird unless it’s a wedding for children erm...

toolazytobakeacake · 10/03/2018 09:42

It sounds fun to me. I know a lot of adults who quite enjoy playing with Lego when there's a kid around to legitimise it!

BothersomeCrow · 10/03/2018 09:57

Two sets of my friends had Lego wedding cakes and some Lego provided on each table - one set had extra lego things.
Could be an issue if there are lots of toddlers, but it worked very well, ensured young children weren't bored during the speeches etc - helped some of the deaf older relatives feel they could join in with the kids more easily too.

LadyPenelope68 · 10/03/2018 10:00

I’d think it very naff, but I think all themed weddings are naff personally.
