| Hello Lego community!
Very new here. I went to a local Lego store and they said to shop here for what
I need!
!! Hoping you can help me and my finance!!!
We are in the budget planning for our wedding in 2025 and wanted to inquire for
our Lego Guest book!
When we visited during the Adult Halloween night at the Lego location, we had
a blast and when we entered we were able to create a mini version of what we
considered, our lego-selves! we Ithought this would be the best un-traditional
way of having a memorable guest book for us and our guests.
Our guest would build the traditional or silly version of them and their family,
put them on a long/short lego block for the family - Write their names using
a special marker, and then putting themselves on a Lego “poster board”
We sre going to have about 300-350 guest so we are looking for 350 of each BYO
PARTS BELOW, they don’t have to be the same pieces because we love variation
for creativity!
350x head
350x hair/hat/accesories
350x body
350x legs
Attached is a photo of what we ideally it’s going to look like

| I would recommend using Lego Pick-A-Brick for this, as you can sort by minifigure
parts & order in high quantities when compared to the average Bricklink store
Normally I'd recommend Bricklink over PAB, but PAB is a much better option
in this case

| Fun idea.
Some unsolicited advice; whatever you plan to use for the "name plate",
buy plenty of extras. I see some smudging in that example and I'm sure some
people will want to rewrite it.
Second; have you heard of the Birthday Paradox? It's states that in a group
of 23 people, there is a 50% chance two people will share a birthday, and in
group of 75 that rises to 99.9%. Instead of birthdays, think of it as two people
wanting to make the same minifig. I would post a link but don't want my
wrists slapped. Anyway, point being, rather than just enough for everyone (350),
perhaps buy 450-500 to make sure that the last 175 guests still have options.
Then you can sell the unused stuff to someone here. I'd be interested.
I'd recommend PAB as well as you'll be able to get everything from one
"store" with free shipping. Maybe do 20 of 20 different heads a wide
variety of hair styles, some mustaches than lots of various "dress clothes".
Good luck and please post photos when it's done.

Thank you so much guys!!! Appreciate the feedback and options! I messged BrickEnzo
to get pricing while using PAB to see what my estimate would be
I agree, I think 450-500 would be a good way of buying it too
