If you are looking to throw a kid's theme party, construction themes are appropriate for all different kinds of occasions. Whether you're planning the party for your little boy who loves dump trucks or someone else entirely, you want them to love the décor as much as the other aspects of the party. Try using some of these construction theme party ideas to get more creative.
Construction Theme Party Decorations
A well-decorated party is just around the corner with these construction-themed decorations!
1. Clever Construction Signs
For wall décor, find road signs that say “Hard Hats Only” and “Authorized Personnel Only” to add to the theme. If it's an outdoor party, you can hang the signs from the ceiling or from the trees. You can also create some photo ops with a cool backdrop.
SmartSign "Construction Area - Authorized Personnel Only, Hard Hats Required" Sign | 10" x 14" Aluminum
DURABLE ALUMINUM: 'Construction Area Authorized Personnel Only' signs are made from heavy-duty 40 mil thick aluminum. Unlike steel signs, our aluminum signs do not rust. Signs easily last up to 7 years outside.
EASY INSTALLATION: Signs have four 3/16 inch corner holes. Mount with screws, nails, tie-wraps or wires. Signs can also be attached with foam or double-sided velcro tape. Sign attachment accessories are not included.
LAMINATED PROTECTION: With lamination, graphics are protected from weather and abuse to preserve a fresh look. Graffiti can be cleaned off too. Clear UV laminate resists chemicals, UV rays, water, and abrasion.
