This is what Shannon said about the party
– “With construction for a new pool scheduled to begin 2 weeks before my son Brody’s 1st Birthday, I knew I was going to have a huge mess to somehow work around. Instead of worrying about it, I decided to incorporate it and therefore his construction themed party was born.
Although I chose a construction party, I still wanted it to look like a first birthday party so I had to be creative in order to make construction vehicles and tools look cute! I also added a lot of other elements that highlighted Brody’s big milestone. There were pictures from his newborn and 1 year old photo shoot as well as a huge display of his monthly growth.
I designed and made most of the party decorations including the door wreath, fabric bunting, fabric garland, table runners, birthday hat, printables and “1” elements everywhere! My dad is a general contractor so a ton of borrowed construction signs, cones and barricades also helped set the scene.
I purchased Dr. Suess’ ‘Happy Birthday to You’ book and all of the guests were asked to ‘Sign in before entering Brody’s construction zone.’
For entertainment, I set up an area for the kids to color on construction plans and play with construction vehicles. They also had a bounce house that provided hours of entertainment!
For food, we had a taco cart, Lemonade & Margaritas, tons of sweets and my parents even brought their gelato catering cart! Each of the kids were given a snack bag filled with kid friendly treats and each family was given a Dump Truck beach set to take home as a party favor. The party was a ton of fun and Brody as well as his sister, Ashlyn, had a great time!”

Adorable! The color scheme is beautiful!
Can you e-mail me and tell me where you found that cute wheelbarrow for ice. I saw this and have been searching but can’t find one it might not be the right time of year. I am planning a construction party for February. Thank YOU. You did an amazing job on your little guys party so cute and fun.
Did you ever find out where the wheelbarrow was from?? Thanks!
I absolutely love the all of the decor for this birthday party for Brody! It’s just perfect!!! My son’s name is Brody, too. I do have some questions and love to chat with you about some of the details. If you could email, me I’d great appreciate it!
Hi, I’m having a construction themed birthday party for my soon to be 3yr old. I love the wheelbarrow idea as well, could you email me also on where you located that item.
Thanks so much!
Bibi
Any news on where the wheel barrel is from? Also the snack bags?
Thanks
I’ve seen wheel barrows like that at Target. This late in the year tho, I doubt they have them. I know the bigger dump trucks on the shelves are from Target and I’m pretty sure the wheel barrow is from the same company.
I love everything about this theme and I am planning on doing for my son Brody’s 1st birthday as well, I would love to chat with you if you could email me that would be great. Thank you!
