Latte Lovers Bridal Shower + $25 Target Giveaway!

If you’ve been following my posts for Target’s “Be Yourself, Together campaign here and here, you know that I’ve been highlighting the unique differences each member of a couple brings to a relationship, and how they find common ground. One thing that both the couples I’ve shared have in common is a love for coffee. So what better theme for a bridal shower than Latte Lovers!

I love showers that have a theme, an interactive element, and of course wonderful gift ideas that go along with both! The perfect gift for this occasion? The Keurig Vue V500 Brewer! It comes with a 12 pack of various coffees and teas, and also makes hot cocoa, iced beverages and more.

For the interactive element, whip up some cupcakes and cookies with Caphalon Bakeware, and set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, colored sugars, and more so your guests create their own sweet treats to go along with their lattes!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for a Latte Lovers Bridal Shower! Now for the giveaway.

When my daughter was younger she had a ton of LEGO bricks, and I’m honestly a little sad we got rid of most of them because there are so many fun things to do with LEGOs outside of the kits you bought them in.

I love seeing all the ideas people have for LEGO building challenges, and I have shared some ideas for LEGO games before, but I saw one on Pinterest the other day that I felt was worth a mention.

This one is for those ’80s and ’90s kids who spent sick days home from school watching “The Price is Right”: LEGO Plinko!

For those who don’t know about Plinko, the original was a giant peg board set up at an angle and the contestant would drop a flat disc at the top of the board. As it moved down the board it would hit the pegs and change the way it moved, and there would be different prizes in the slots at the bottom where the piece would land.

This version from Play Party Game works on the same principle, using LEGO bricks to make the game board and marbles in place of the Plinko disc since your game board isn’t flat.

You can really use whatever bricks you have for this build, and while it shows all the pegs the same size and evenly spaced, you can play with different configurations and see what happens. It’s engineering and a game!

And while you’re playing with your LEGOs, make sure to check out this post from Kids Craft Room that includes minute to win it style games you can do with LEGO. From speed sorting to tower building as fast as you can, these ideas are sure to get you thinking about different ways to play with LEGO.

And if you need even more ideas, check out my post with LEGO building challenges you can print out for kids (and adults!) to try.
